Japan loves the Dodge B-vans

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4713713

They also like Chevy Astro vans of the late 90's/early 00's, but those get more or less pimped out with all sorts of electronics and slammed to the ground.

those dodge vans are bad ass

This is actually pretty hilarious.

That's awesome. I'd totally buy a tiny Dodge van.

I love it, it looks like a truck or van that got 8 or 9 mpg and its actually a little van with a turbo 4 that gets 35 mpg

I definitely dig the suburbans.

holy shit you could turn an Xb into an early bronco easilyish

Shit makes me miss the old '92 360ci B-van I drove parts around in back in '02-'03.

Thing was fun in the wet/snow, but yeah. Would have been better if it was a tad lower.

I wanna know where the hell they found Wantanabe wheels with a Chrysler bolt pattern.

They are 5 x5.5 bolt pattern, you can get anything you'd like for them.

Same as the samurai, wonder where i can order :)

I wonder if Japanese people marvel at how easy it is to work on American cars because they were designed and built by people with big hands.....

Cuz, it's like, opposite, over here.

Ebisu?! God help them, they weren't doing touge runs with those things, were they?!

That would be fucking awesome. At least all the rollovers would be entertaining.

Holy shit, I found my old delivery van. It hasn't been on the road since 2008, all the oil leaked out, but it did start! Going to try and put some oil in it, see if it lot runs and drives.

It can be mine for $200





Low miles!



Speedholez in the FLOOR!

It's a 3500 though. I wonder if I can swap in 1500 suspension to make lowering for drifting easier....

I hated it when my manager got it lettered. Meant I couldn't go drifting around in the rain anymore. Someone might call the phone number and bitch.

I think I'm gonna put some oil in it tomorrow. Get it driving. Not sure how deep I want to get in it.
If it needs motor/trans work, I'd hate to have to dump it in my driveway while I save up and rebuild shit.

It IS a 360 though....

I want to know where they got those vans from. Did Dodge actually sell them in Japan, or did they come by our military or something?

My first vehicle was a Dodge van - had shag carpet and wood paneling.

You had the Cheesewagon, right? I seem to remember the photos of it.

Indeed

thats a big ass

Interesting ride in winter for sure.

On any other continent the progression from LWB van to light truck occurs about two feet earlier than the end of mostrosity.

Hey Tailhappy, Does your dealer sell Kia's?

We have, like, six Kia stores. We loves poor ppl.

everytime i see a kia it's a negro driving it.

Around here, the area Kia dealerships, which are all owned by the same company, are actually named "The Kia Store."

Our phone number is 1-866-KIA-GUYS

I giggle at some of the Dealer names, and i do remember seeing "The Kia Store"

My favorite are the ones that are "Kia of Somecity" so much easier to figure out where they are at rather than looking up the dealer code

So what do you do for warranty, exactly? Are you one of those fags I need to call and ask you want a fucking LIGHT BULB back but a $2,000 differential can be scrapped?

Kia's are becoming good looking. Once big wheels come down in price and they can be designed with wheelarches in proportion to the rest of the car, they'll be style winners.

hahahaha

basically yes, but at the plant level.

I probably talk to those people everyday.
