This is just wierd. I would have to say that 50%of the Routan owners that come into the shop are men and its not the girls van.

Same thing as the Chrysler van.

I know the owner of the shop building this one up... late model Porsche power, imported high-end caravan appliances, and a wild fabricated roof rack... although he was not specific, it is rumored that this is a 6 figure project...

If anyone is interested in looking at the other details...

'91 Synchro project

Oooh! Cool! and with tracks and everything! It's even a Toyota, if I'm reading the grille emblem right.

a 'man van' would be perfect for those guys that have a 'man cave' instead of a garage.

So you're the jackass that thinks Crossovers are a good idea.

Vans needs to look like a van. It needs to own it's vannishness, and kick the E36 M3 out of anything that tries to say elsewise. Posing as an SUV is not manly. Fake scoops are not manly. Extreme-by-committee is not manly.

Tim Allen's Saleen Windstar on the other hand... that's manly.
