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

One Hot Summer

“Found this last year and fell in love,” writes summershandy about being the third owner of this unstoppable 1992 Chevy van, which we are equally enamored of. And when it comes to this beautiful machine, it’s what’s inside that counts, too. Check out the crazy-cool console that looks like something Greg Brady would have killed to have. Who cares that they may not be an iPhone charger included in the console; it’s simply too awesome to matter.

“Odometer sits at over 200,000 kilometers on the 5.7 and still running strong!” adds summershandy. “Can’t describe the blast driving it and all the comments I get on her,”  We can only imagine that experience is the closest thing to Heaven you can get that doesn’t require a prerequisite trip to a confessional.
