Welcome to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the activity of searching the abandoned, left-for-dead !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! profiles that time forgot for interesting cars, projects, personalities, and images. ….then posting them here.
Ever wondered what has become of the cars, and their owners since they last logged into these profiles? Since most of these were last updated when George W. was in office, I can't help but to wonder what ever became of them and their rides.
Are they still into the hobby? Have they since graduated to a minivan or some bloated trucklet? Do they stick with a particular brand/model or move on to something else?
Today, some of these questions can be answered. This morning, while searching for photos of lowered 2nd gen Honda Odysseys (don't ask) I found a photo that looked familiar, so I took a look and found some information about an old profile we featured !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The only real update I can share about his van is that he added some exterior graphics - but that alone wasn't worth sharing.
The reason I'm sharing this, is that he has run into some issues with one of the features he relies on the most. His hand controls.
Justin aka "wheelz" could use some help.
From his GoFundMe Page:
Ok guys, everyone pretty much knows me and/or my ride.
Well last week the hand controls on my van caused me some issues where they need to be pulled out, sent to the manufacturer in Maine, rebuilt, and tested. This is going to cost me way more than I can afford with the expenses of just moving on my own back in November.
I had thought about selling the van, and using it as a down payment towards another van, but with those vans starting at 40k without driving equipment, it would cost me way too much money to start over.
So I'm kindly asking you, from one enthusiast to the next, if you can spare even $1 dollar to get me back on the road. And even if the repairs don't exceed 10k the rest will be given to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .
Here is the system that was installed that's no longer any good due to one module. 50k + gone in the trash.

I'm also sharing this because everyone loves snow hooning, no matter the vehicle.

Having helped rebuild a ragged e250 with a lift and controls for a quad friend of mine, I have seen first hand how expensive these conversions are. My friend was lucky enough to have one gifted to him from another quad who finally got a new van - 20 years after the first. Luckily it was alot of manual controls to it vs the new style of computers. Im gonna chuck him a few dollars because I know all this.
