I would imagine it's a large converted school bus?
Maybe with a beetle for a sunroom on top?
But hey, it even has extra air scoops on the D pillar!

Obviously this is the van that inspired Doug's perimeter lighting system.

As *interesting* as this van is, I understand the intention of most of it, with a notable exception; anyone have an idea of what purpose could be served by the 3 convex mirrors on the back?

So folks behind that abomination can see how weird and contorted their faces get as they try to figure out what they're looking at.

They give skitchers a view of the world behind them.

Uh oh, Odysseys are vans and Eurovans are mini-vans?

Yeesh! You mean to tell me that with all the bullshit going on in the world, this group can bother to count down some jagoffs for having bump-ugly Vanagoons, then in the next breath enthuse about laying down tacky laminate flooring in their rolling palaces?
I always thought Vanagooners were cut out of that "Do Your Own Thing" bolt of cloth.
TheSamba is starting to look like a clique of post-pubescent, teeny-boppers who decide to shun the new girl at school because she is wearing the wrong colored panty liner.
As I said, yeesh!

If we can't laugh at each other, how can we ever laugh at ourselves? Of the seven vans I've owned over the years, at least three were solid candidates for this thread, including my current Bluestar.
