Was it just me, or did anyone else notice the van got turned around on the tow-

I spotted this green beauty in an episode of "Hamilton's Pharmacopeia" on the vice channel. Great show. In this episode, Hamilton was researching the Sonoran dessert toad (you know, the ones that excrete a hallucinogenic milky substance from pores on their backs.)

In tonight's episode of "Kevin Probably Saves the World" he is in Laos riding in an old IH Scout that breaks down and rolls to a stop with a parked Vanagon in the background. Nice that it was not the Vanagon that broke, but it was partially obscured by a cloud of steam, as many of them are in real life.

This is not a good sign. This means the mainstream collectors are on to us.
No amount of misinformation we put out about horrible reliability will save us now.
We are no longer in control! |

Is it a 1.6 or 2.5? Confused about that top too, does it pop or is it just a rack?

That is really funny. The peeing too close to the van thing hits pretty close to home...

Dammit!! "This content is not available in your geographic location."
I guess they think they're protecting sensitive Canadian sensibilities!
