The gmc syclone was a truck that at the time of manufacture held the record for the fastest 0-60 mph acceleration. (Beating Ferrari and Porsche) It used the same v6 and awd system as the gmc safari van (the truck had turbos). I dream of a gmc safari with a similar turbo system.

Safari was a popular conversion van base.

My bud in highschool ‘s fam had one with a tv and snes in it. Some how it had zelda in french.

a few months ago I had a line on a early 90s HiAce with ~40k miles on it with the factory tea kettle, center-console refrigerated ice-box, crt tv, backup sonar, joyful talk intercom system for $7,500 but he ended up selling it to another guy because I asked too many questions I guess. still stings, emotionally haven’t been able to move past this defeat tbh.

my parents had a conversion high-top van when i was 12-16ish? though i to this day am not sure of the exact model. gmc or chevy i think.

it had

  • tv
  • vcr
  • electric fold-flat rear bench-to-bed seat
  • green leather interior
  • headphone jacks for every seat that could select either the separate rear-cabin cd-changer stereo or the tv audio
  • a ladder on the back
  • individual ash trays that perfectly fit a nugget dipping sauce container
  • honey-colored wood cabinets filled with vhs tapes mom got used from blockbuster

they bought us a dreamcast for xmas in '99 and we played soul calibur non stop on the 5 hour drive to ma-ma’s house

it was an upgrade from their previous child hauler, a standard issue gray gmc van that had:
clear plastic seat covers

I knew a guy whose parents had one of those tall roof vans. You could stand up in that bastard and not hit your head.

We called it the porno van. I’m not sure why.

re child haulers:

Confession time, my dads hauler was nothing fancy, no TV, no Headphones, nothing. Seatbelt, done. However …… IF you haul a pack of children, why not do it with french chique?

Behold,

the Peugeot 505 Break…. if you look closely at the rear hatch, you can see that it has a third row seat belt. That’s why.

The good ol’ times where crash protection was done and dusted with a ‘we have brakes — DONE’, and headrests were for front passengers only.

Also, look at that increasing size of windows per row, the rear door was bigger than the front door. And hence best of all, if y’ need to haul something big,

just use a forklift to haul it in the back, voilà.

MADNESS, ze fantastique :servbotsalute:

As much as I love minivans the fact that the US abandoned station wagons so early is yet another tragic beat in the story of American driving

…. What the hell has happened in SEGA HQ, someone must have mixed up the next Sonic ×worlds DLC with a Gran Turismo 7 wannabe-contender, and i get strong Project Cars-Team vibes from that … (tbh using the signature Dr Baysted song gave it away).

Who’d have thought that a 21st century Enthusia would be published by SEGA…
