Van Hellin’: We Found the Hottest Rides Right Here in Our Forums

Chevy Forum

When we spotted this rolling masterpiece in our forums, we didn’t have much to say. And that’s only because we were speechless and our jaws were on the floor. Forum member bjbranyo calls this his “2004 clanker.” We call it flawless — the colors, the mods, the gorgeous grill, the awesome lighted dash, the “Oscar” bulldog mascot featured in strategic areas, that pop of bright red color on the exhaust…every inch of this Chevy van looks like it was carefully considered inside and out. And then it was modded in a way that makes for one overall kickass vehicle that is both sophisticated and sporty; bold and beautiful yet undeniably badass and intimidating. A hat tip to bjbranyo on a job well done. This Chevy looks like it should be in the Smithsonian instead of on the road.
