It does have a nice closet door mod and an interesting battery box mod.

Pioneered by Frank Condelli. I've done the same thing on my van and it improves closet access considerably. I added shelves in the front section, too.

I don't even know where one gets a hunting license for Muppets. I kinda think those poor guys were poached. Now I'm sad.
This thread is depressing. |

| The amount of effort and attention to detail is impressive, unfortunately they forgot... always use super-powers for good and not for evil. |

Muppets doesn't rhyme with purple.
Orange you glad I didn't say "purple"?
Certainly the use of an old timey joke cheered you up?
I say be bold. For the right price *** I'd buy it. Just think of all the attention you'd get from Muppet loving chicks at camp outs.
(can I say that on this forum?  )

That's due mainly to the embarrassment of hunting the poor Nauga nearly to extinction in the '70's.
In the '80's and '90's, there was a concerted effort to rehabilitate the species, ensuring it's continued survival.
Through the hard work of conservationists, hippies, and trust-fund college kids, the Nauga was brought back from the brink of extinction. At the same time, they took an offshoot breed, and started genetic experiments so as to develop further varieties of Naugahyde, in an effort to provide the valuable resource without the threat of species exhaustion.

Are you referring to the badge for the rare and highly sought after ORTER? (as in transp-orter)
