What a total waste of time, effort, and money. One can only ask "WHY?"

Hallucinating and a grinder don't mix. Hell, Redbull and a grinder don't mix..

And the black top. I can't wrap my brain around making my camping van collect more passive heat.

The black fake lower grill doesn't add anything either.

Bought this van, hadn't run in 2 years and battery was flat. Charged battery overnight and it popped right up.
Took about 10 hours to remove paint and cloth on headliner. Also removed LED's, black lights and a Stereo system, alarm and lace sen onto factory curtains. Most hippies throw the curtains away and make their own. All of the curtains are there.

I'll pass on the leopard skin cloth, but please send the tee shirt on the DS front seat. I go through them for what I call "epoxy clothes" at an alarming rate.

Am I wrong in saying that every time I see a vw van with a flower, peace sign or some stupid grunge band dope smoking sticker on the side of it I want to punch someone in the face?

The lady I bought it from was not hippyish at all and very professional. Must've been from a past life.
