We have an imposter!

« on: January 06, 2014, 01:07:18 PM »
Someone in Oregon has built a stretch Vanagon out of a Syncro and a Westy, and even swapped out the gas engine for a diesel. Now he's converting it to electric. I think Kyle should definitely be collecting some royalties on this!

Actually, it's the other way around.  That's where Kyle got the idea.  I remember the zipper . . .

Homer has those...just put them in the glove box and the taillights should start working again.  If Homer has the right tires, 2 years of accumulated junk shouldn't be a problem.
