    Microvans: Badass, or just bad?

    Umm, I'm recently obsessed with microvans. Any one else want one of these things? RWD, small, light, just begging for a beefy 4 cylinder (lol). But seriously, these can be tagged for road use in most states, but mostly for roads with speed limit of 35 and under. Idk, just seems like a fun project.

          I now want one so bad. I would plaster it with stickers and use it as my parts/bike hauler.

              There aren't many things in the world I would hate more than owning a dodge caravan. Give me a strange Japanese mini van any day of the week.

                I kinda want to find a Toyota HiAce and do one of these conversions to it.



                4 Wheel Drive , knobby tires, shag carpet. Perfect surf van! Plus then one would not have to jump through hoops to plate it and drive it on roads with standard speed limits.

                    lol I feel you on that, I would never want a van that is preceded by the word "mini" or Micro"!!!! A 4wd 1ton modern diesel Ford or GMC maintenance van with a little ground clearance and decent off road tires full of camping and back country provisions would be permissible on the other hand

                        Well, for one, these are rear wheel drive (with 4wd usually). For two, they get 50mpg on a 3cyl diesel. For three, because unique. For four, they're only about $2000. And for five,

                            Crazy, I was just talking to the girl yesterday about getting a kei truck.

                            Let me know when the container ship will depart.

                              You could put one of those big fake nut sacks on it if it would make you feel better Sleeve…

                              Just imagine how big they would look.
