It's taken a while but we got our yet-to-be-named !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on the road, huzzah! Our entirely practical city mover and company vehicle rumbled down the West Side Highway into the Big A in preparation for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
We took the scenic route past the GWB and followed that up with a ride of the green wave for a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! up 10th Ave. Yeah, we did it and double yeah, it's not that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . If you're so bored that you want to watch the full video, well, here's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of your life you're not getting back. Anyway, we're thinking there must be a cabie that's figured out the green wave infinite loop by crossing back over downtown. It's still fun though, especially in a pothole bustin' brick.
Here is what we've learned:
The added bonus of a missing gearshift bootie is a face full of nearly engine block temperature breeze. Because we love this ol' gal, it's kind of like your dog constantly breathing into your face, only this pooch has has slightly better breath. Slightly. Plus you get to see the road surface moving by about 4 feet below.
The big steering wheel makes you feel like a bus driver. If your bus had 34" off-road tires and all the dashboard controls were labeled in Swedish. We're not sure if it matters but our "Broms" light is always on. And it's fun flicking on the "Helljus" because "Helljus."
No power steering means we must start lifting weights if we're going to parallel park. Or does parallel parking mean we can skip the gym today?
We have zero rear visibility. Even if it had mirrors that weren't cracked or plastic rear/side windows that weren't completely opaque, backing up would still be a test of faith.
You can kick the tires yourself this Friday and Saturday (April 18-19) @ our pop up shop, 517 W. 37th St.

Driving that thing around the city is probably just as fun (if not more so) than any supercar.

If you're still looking for names, you might just start playing with Google translate swedish until you get something you like.
Box - "låda", so " the Blipshiftslåda" or something would work.
Giant box: jätte låda
Mud box: lera låda
etc.
Or be more imaginative:

Sweet been hoping for an update I have a deep want for a Volvo C303. I have dreams of surviving the apocalypse/ adventuring through the American wilderness in one. Plenty of cool female Viking legend names, Valkyries like Rota ... Hervor features a bloodthirsty enchanted sword wielded by a nutz shieldmaiden and zombie kings or Skuld the necormancer...
