Lol, yes there is a common commercial van among all those rare sports cars

Old Beetle, haha. Great 7 car garage there.

Awesome, Toyota HiAce van as well! :D

We don’t get those here :P

Loving that old Porsche and the Alfa though....I am far more partial to classic Porsches than modern ones, and I LOVE the pre-facelift ‘boat-tail’ style Alfa Spiders...

I just did a little reading about that boat-tail thing. I agree, very cool.

You’re not the first person to mention the boring commercial van as the standout amongst the company of unusual sports cars.

Good point! It’s a sick 7 car garage, it’s actually super balanced isn’t it? You don’t really need 2 Commodore coupes, but otherwise every vehicle fills its own niche.

:D

Yeah, I like the later Alfa Spiders as well, but the earliest tail design was by far the prettiest to my eyes :)

Give me one with covered headlights and chrome bumpers and I would be eternally grateful! :D

And you don’t really need a 7 car garage either. Two Commodore Coupes are fine. As you said, I love how balanced it is.

HiAce for truck stuff, air cooled German for Sunday cruising, t wo Commodore coupes for when you drift the first one into a tree, Tuareg for soccer practice, Alfa Spider for when you don’t mind the pain, and an expensive German for mindless highway miles.

Tell that truck driver to bring them all to my house 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Nauraushaun 09/27/2020 at 02:09

I thought the yellow one was an ITR in the thumbnail. The Aussie coupe is cool to tho.

Haha, if you called a HiAce a truck here people would be very confused. I’m used to it because I spend so much time on here, but down here a “truck” is pretty much this or bigger:

Pickups aren’t trucks, vans aren’t trucks, body-on-frame SUVs aren’t trucks ;)

Just different meanings across the world. In the US, just about anything vaguely utilitarian can be a truck. It’s like calling a FWD CUV an SUV. It’s a catch all term with only a few examples actually technically deserving the designation. Semis are trucks but people more familiar with them would designate “tractor” or “trailer” while pickup trucks are very much trucks. Vans can be trucks but not all vans.

Yeah totally. I have heard “tractor” recently in terms of the thing hauling the trailer(s). But of course to most of us (I imagine) a tractor is a thing on a farm with big rear wheels and little front ones.

It actually just occurred to me that “trailer” is named as it’s something that trails something else. And perhaps “tractor” is like, the thing making traction to haul the trailer.

That is why they are called tractor-trailers.
