Check out this sweet van(gotta see it to believe it)

Now i'm not one to judge others, and I understand times are tough for some people and they have to drive crappy cars sometimes, but the guy who drives this van (Ford Aerostar) works at one of the iron ore mines in northern Minnesota where I live and he makes probably close to 100 grand a year. Rust is common up here since they salt the roads heavily in the winter, this thing is a death trap though. These are all cell phone pics so they aren't the best.

The "good" side

At the hospital, probably getting a tetanus shot so he can drive the van.

Might have finally died today.

Also wanna add, at one point he was pulled over by a state patrol and was told he can't drive it anymore, he went to court and fought it and for some reason the dumbass judge reversed the decision and let it back on the road. It looks much worse in person than it does in the pictures.

Holy shit, that is nuts. I know cars are just objects, but I can't help but genuinely feel bad for that poor thing. I mean damn.

kill it with fire

what a pile!

It's a sight to behold watching it drive down the road. The rear shocks are completely blown out, one time I was behind him and he hit a slight dip in the road and the ass end bounced up and down for 5 miles, that's not a typo or exaggeration either. Also notice the wooden windows, that's the part that pisses me off because there's some real dick bag state patrols in my area that hound cars with window tint. I had one tell me my mustang was "unfit for the road" because of my tint (35%) but yet it's ok to have wooden windows haha.

That van wouldn't make it 100 yards on a Maryland road before the cops had it towed away.

At the point that a vehicle is a danger to others besides it's driver...it's time for it to retire.

 

[Whistler98]

He should restore it. It looks to be all original numbers matching. lol

I have also seen that van, and I was pretty shocked at how terrible it is.

 

[slow2002gt]

Nothing a little elbow grease wouldnt fix.

 

[stangposse]

You've been up north? I sure as hell hope the guy didn't make the trek to Minneapolis with the van haha.

Haha yes you caught me, it's really my van. These are pictures from a span of a year or so, I only took one or two of em. The others people have sent me. My friends give me shit saying that this van is better than my car since my car was "unfit for the roads" with the tint.. Jerks. Haha.

Wow! I've never seen a vehicle in that bad of shape in my life... Perhaps, the owner of that contraption should start thinking about a replacement vehicle...:shrug: I'm not sure how much longer that thing is going to last...

Well the last pic was taken today, I didn't see it in person but my friend who took the pic said it looked like the frame was on the ground. But I guess that side always does lean so who knows for sure. Another funny thing about the van, it got a new right front tire on 5-23-2012, wanna know how I know? He carved it in what's left of the paint on the front fender lol.

Set that shit on fire before it hurts someone.
