It did the hokey pokey & burned itself to the ground.

slow learner?
After fire, buys another old van and loads with wood palates?
OE vehicle interiors are treated with fire retardant, and for good reason.
Has he learned to carry an extinguisher?
It is the LAW for larger trucks, and it should be the law for hippies also.
Not just being a jerk, just giving it to you straight.
Education is free, and should be, and you are free, and you should be.
Post stuff on the net, you will receive feedback. |

i applaud the move to a larger Chevy / domestic (conversion) van.
easy to get parts for it just about anywhere, easier to find somone / a shop to work on it in the middle of nowhere, junkyards full of similar vehicles for parts.
more power, might even have working air conditioning and actual, real heat & defrost. probably less rust than the bus too. it will get crappier gas mileage than the VW, but so be it.
i hope it serves you well.
glad you didn't end up with one of those shorty school busses. barf.

Yep...water cooled will serve better in this case....but that "kiln-dried". Pallet interior...is just one dropped "bong-cherry" away from a smoking hole on burning tires.
Scary man.....but I do applaud the workmanship and ingenuity if not the safety of the result.

slow thinker? illogical assumer of things you don't see in a two-minute video?
Have you learned that posting feedback for someone is kinda a waste of energy when that person doesn't care what you think?
*yawn*
You should brush up on that free education.

Then put it in the video!
A story has a moral no matter if you intend it to or not.
If it does not have a point people will apply their own.
If you thought lightening doesn't strike twice, you were wrong! That's what I got from it.
Others think you lit it for sympathy, but I don't, although ti kinda does look like it.
Yeah I'm rude and crude, but to be honest the majority of VW enthusiasts are TOO nice, they already got it covered, so I don't need to do it  |
