Was very surpr ised the 20+ year old decals were not faded or dry. Was a lot easier than I thought too. Let’s see how they hold up in driving conditions and this relentless Ohio rain. I may be one of the slowest times on Sunday, but at least it’ll look good.

Went with a little taller sidewall for the winters. 60r to a 55r spec. Sumitomo Ice Edge winters. Knobby tread, and cheapest tire on the site. From a distance, you can’t see how bad the dip job is. It’s pretty bad.

When I think of retro Van’s the 80 s isn’t the first decade I think of.

Still cool tho. Needs a porthole window where ya got your number at tho.

I’d do unspeakable acts for that van you posted.

I heard a Nirvana song on a classic rock station the other day...

See: Transit, Sprinter, Express, Metris.

I wish the smaller ones were RWD though.

I’m sad. I was going to go autocross this weekend but I don’t have a Snell Helmet new enough

As soon as I saw the van, I thought of this. And I mean this exact part of this exact song. And it pleases me.  

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > vondon302 05/15/2019 at 09:04

I’ll be happy when Weezer’s B uddy Holly  replaces Jack and Diane on the classic rock stations.

Most places loan helmets out. I checked mine out beforehand.

Weezer doesn’t appeal to me too much. They don’t play anything bad, just not for me. Even their Toto cover lacked soul IMO

Tough to go any further from here without it being bumped out of stock class.
