WOW that is an incredible find! |
Might be good to post the whole episode for some silly '80s nostalgia:

Was looking for a specific '88/'89 Squares episode... didn't find it, but what I happened across was even more awesome!

Hilarious. Even host John Davidson cannot speak the word "Vanagon" without an audible smirk (23:00):

Looks like an early Westy that gets pretty close to being in an accident at the 6:41 mark.

I saw that and noticed more than one Vanagon. Great documentary. |
This was just amazing. This and "Dark" (which also has vanagon content) were the best things I watched on Netflix this year. |

In "Transformers: Last Knight", is that a Decepticon transformed into a "Bus" in the first fight scene in the deserted town when the Decepticons roll into town?

| Just watched Transporter 3 (much better than Transporter 2), and a bunch of vanagons show up. Opening scene has a bimmer and an audi pulling of a ferry, looking all stylish. Then a T3 crosses the nearfield of the shot. I laughed. Near the end the background has what looks to be a t3 ambulance. I'm going to have to go back and check now... |
Transporter 4 was best. I haven’t seenTransporter6, I can’t afford the ticket

Yikes!
It's weird though. The Vanagon clearly crosses the centerline. At the same time, the white car also crosses the centerline as if the driver is focusing on the van and that focus causes them to turn into it.
In motorcycle rider's training I've been told the the motorcycle will go where I'm looking. This appears to be what happened to the white car.

The van began turning left. The white car began swerving to its left in the hopes of avoiding hitting the van. The idiot van driver awoke from his coma and corrected his error by swerving back to the right. Smash!
