Tom's tricked-out van!

Hey, how come nobody's mentioned Tom's tricked-out 70s van (If you have, and I missed it, I apologize in advance)??? :D

I know it's old-school, but back in the day, those were the bomb. I had wanted a van just like his with a waterbed, an 8-track stereo, and shag carpeting. I had also wanted my bedroom to look like Riff's, so I bought these two giant speakers, and put them on either side of my bed. I almost went deaf. It was so cool! LOL!

I can bring whole cities to ruin, and still have time to get a soft shoe in.

Those vans rock! I want to build my own one day and lure chicks to it. I have tried to find pics of similar vans but I don't know what they are technically supposed to be referred to. 'Custom Van' just comes up with pics of those family RV types with the raised roof. Maybe someone out there can tell me what I'm supposed to call that type of customized van. If I only had one while I was in high school...

When I used to go cruising (well ride in the back while the teenagers cruised), there were always some cheesy guys parked on the side of the road with their tricked out, shag carpeted vans. It was always fun to look inside to see what stuff they pimped their ride with.

The vans always smelled weird (probably a combination of stale booze and weed) and the guys were always big headed jerks.

No two persons ever watch the same movie.
