The problem with Vanagons is cost and age. You’re looking $10-15000 for 30-40 year old vehicle and Westfalias are more like $30000. You can find a lot of useful vans, minivans and SUVs for $5-10000. At the top end Westies are used Sprinter or home built Transit money.

Here’s that 1 millionth Corvette after it took a swan dive into the earth.

He and his brother Shmeal founded Hassenpfeffer, Inc. There’s a song about it that a couple of nice ladies from Milwaukee sing.

Whenever I see the name “Shmuel” I think, “You are walking around in the cow pasture? Be sure you don’t step into any shmuel which will stick to the bottom of your shoes”. It’s just one of those onomatopoeia things.

And allow people to use it for free in exchange for viewing slide shows!

And orange carnival barker presidents.

This is a WTF blast from the past. You don’t see to many adds targeted at successful cult leaders, human traffickers, and televangelists these days.

Checked the Imperium website, the claimed range is impressive, 323 miles. They call it the “Affordable eSUV, but offers no pricing. They also have an EV truck that looks like the Tundra but sized as a Tacoma.

Fun fact. The Annapolis Valley has such a hippie vibe because quite a few Vietnam draft dodgers settled there.

Nightmare two-car garage you say?

Thinking about this, a two car garage would need to have something practical and something ostensibly fun. So:

this needs a 6.6 Duramax and Allison 1000 or a cummins.

But the 5 banger and the mechanical AWD were what made the car great.

Those are extremely generous numbers.

Just a reminder, batteries are heavy. For an EV, this is actually pretty light.

First, that front-end doesn’t flow with the rest of the car. It’s not a bad design, but it doesn’t seem to fit right. Like the profile and grill were designed separately by 2 different teams who were both told, “imagine an updated Audi ur-Quattro” but didn’t share ideas.

Oh look, another EV startup!

“The EL-1 is, of course, a homage to the Audi Quattro.”

Look, if the cop told the kid to ‘Freeze’, and he was holding ‘anti-freeze’, how is that not blatant failure to comply? Easy grounds for opening fire.

One thing I never thought I'd hear a Russian say "safety first"
