Does the stereotype of vans being associated with rapists have to do with how ugly American Vans are? The Dodge Ram Van, The Ford Econoline Van & the Chevrolet Vans are truly hideous. The Modern Day Van Market is dominated by the Ford Transit (designed by Ford Europe), the Dodge Ram Promaster (rebadged Fiat Ducato) & the Mercedes Benz Sprinter. These European Vans are much better looking & don't get hit with the same negative stereotype.
>>29101407It was more like Boomers were getting girls drunk in their vans and fucking them.Not sure how true the "rape' part is but ya.
>>29101407Really? You think the Promaster and the Trannyshit look better than those? Also which market are you talking about? Because America was built by and runs off the Chevy Express. If Euro vans are superior how come you haven't used them to take a vehicle to the moon?
>Am I kawaii? Uguu?
>>29101407I owned an E150 Club Wagon with an air mattress in the back. Had sex with at least a half dozen girls back there. All of it consensual though.
>>29101432I really like vans of this vintage. It's especially cool when they're repurposed as a support van.
>Ford TransitACKing transmissions and turbos left and right>PromasterRusted away if they didn't break down at 10,000 miles>Sprinterlmao
literally zero taste
>>29101432Almost looks like a zigger van.
>>29101451HELLYEAHBROTHER
>>29101473I'd tell whoever owns this that his van is awesome, but I would try not to shake his hand.
>>29101475Pretty much. I saw it in google results and I couldn't not post that.
When I was a child my parents had a campervan and playing inside it was the GOAT. I long for another furnished campervan.
>>29101440>I really like vans. Especially when they are repurposed as vans.Fucking kek
>>29101407You are gay and retarded. The stereotype is white panel vans like pic related.
>>29101465https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFwXbp9bLlY
>>29101465I read it as something else
>>29101407euro transits are still percieved as rapist vansit has nothing to do with looks, it's all about the big windowless compartament you can do whatever you want in
Old American vans look better and I say that as a euro
>>29101407>These European Vans are much better looking
>>29101407For me it's thisI'm almost a 30yr old virgin
>>29101477
>>29101433I've fucked in a lot of different cars and have never been able to get the suspension to stop rocking violently and make it extremely obvious what's going on inside. Is there a secret or do you just have to deal with it?
>>29101407What a fucking moron.Im guessing your an inbred brit.
>>29101679its like how soldiers break formation when marching over bridges, you have to interrupt the rhythm
>>29101672Uncle Rico?
>>29101407I seen enough to know better that to ever get into a van with a stranger
>but what about the americans?
>>29101433>>29101679you need to leave this website and never come back. instagram and niggertok are more fitting for you sexhavers
>>29101679If the van is a-rockin' don't come a-knockin'
>>29101441What's wrong with the Sprinter?
>>29101791>>29101792should have replaced the ram logos with picrel
>>29101791>>29101792Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
>>29101792>>29101791Never should have come here!
>>29101791>>29101792let me guess, somebody stole your hubcaps
>>29101849I used to be a shitposter like you, then I took an arrow to the knee
>>29101852hearty kek>>29101792>>29101791could do without the Skyrim logo
>>29101407one more shitpost like this and i'll lure you into my van
I've been considering trading in my sports car for a van. None of that minivan shit, but a legit work van where I can set my laptop up in the back
>>29101932
>>29101679
>>29101932palantir makes one. you can use it to make shareholder value go up!
>>29101799
>>29101407get that cock out of your mouth OP and shut it I will not hear this van slander on my /o/
>>29101407Any van is a rape van if I am driving
>>29102209cute rarity
>>29102209>Fuzzy diceBased
>>29101679I have banged in a ton (10+ probably) of different cars and never got caught due to any rocking. SUVs where you can lay seats down and bang longitudinally are best.
>>29103044Why SUVs over Vans? What is it about the elevation?
>>29102209Based. Seconding this
The only time i have ever banged in a car was in a nissan sunny in front of a closed but still brightly lit grocery store along a main road. >carrying the girl home from a club>we have an up and down history when we were friends. Bad enough we stopped talking to eachother all of a sudden until one day we ran into eachother and we were cool for a couple days>she is making fun of me for being white>she is a light mulatto>my skin is darker than hers due to me having a heavy tan>make jokes of her being whiter than me>she jumps out the passenger seat onto my lap and shouts "do you have dark nipples?!?" >lifts her shirt and bra>staring at heaven>but this woman hates me so i cant compute>tell her my nipples are dark too>she lifts my shirt but only wins by a few shades>the silence of me denying reality is a painful memory>however after a moment i caught my senses and then we did the deed fully lit up on a main road That led to an insane "we arent together" relationship worthy of 50 days worth of bar stories. I do miss her often enough
>>29104176moar
>>29102209why americans can't stop talking about dicks ?
>>29102254why?
sure
fine
>>29101407Ugly.Sure.
>>29102274Cringemax
incredible news /o/my van lives once againonly issue is that a mouse ATE THE FUCKING PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER WIRESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>29101407Van is not for creepy solo rapist. Van is for rape gang to load up a gang, unload the gang, and extract the gang and victim together from the same door without spliting the group up by walking around the vehicle on different sides and close the door behind them.
>>29102254very good picture saar i like alot !
>>29113321Gang. What do you mean the playstation wires?
>>29113958ma fuckin vidya
>>29113970Oh dang, awesome, but also not awesome. Get those rats, Anon.
>>29111284>that feel when your bodywork is so heavy it compresses your suspension at all times and you can only fit 10" wheels
>>29114528>going out to the van last night>hear some sort of noise>fucking white/black/orange cat comes running out from under the vanwhy can't they just chase the damn mice out into the woods ffs
No one thinks vans with windows are for rapistsThe window less vans, um maybe because its a big fuckin box with no way to look inside or outside
>>29116908Cats were designed to serve humans inside of human civilization, you're talking about wildcats that chase mice in the woods.
>>2910140790% of the world is an open predatory rape culture and america is a half reformed rape culture where your van either works as a rape station or you get dragged out and skinned alive on Oprah.So like don't rape.
my half uncle has a 90s G20 van and he's a prolific crossdresser and prostitute. Also a town cop here recently was arrested and charged for uploading AI modified porn of his own children and bathroom spy pics to the internet who drove a Dodge van. For those reasons, I can never see these vans as anything other than driven by sexual deviants.
>>29119113>90% of the world is an open predatory rape cultureIf you support feminist socio-cultural constructs, that means you are a feminist, for the record.
>>29119113>90% of the world is an open predatory rape culturesource?
>>29119105profound
>>29124982interesting
>>29126861ok
nice
good
I've been looking at vans againCan you swap the facia from late 80s to early 90s Vanduras?And uhh, can you still buy aftermarket roofs for these? It's basically a fiberglass boat flipped upside down.
>>29101407Vans were big in the hippy boomer days, and there were several serial killers who lured women into their vans, raped and killed them. Hitchhiking was common back then and van serial killers are literally the reason it's not a thing anymore.
>>29130781You can fabricate anything in any shape. Look up "poor man's fiberglass" which is just rigid insulation with a sheet of canvas, fiberglass, or carbon fiber epoxied over it. Plastic heat fabrication is not difficult either. You need to have some basic arts and crafts skills.
>>29130803Companies are forced to use Vans though, Vans are also commonly used in low trust third world countries.
>>29132246that is true
drove 2 hours on backroads to waffle house last nightwas nice
I'd get one if gas wasn't nuts right now. They symbolize freedom and independence. Can't have that in this dystopia - >'JUST TAKE YOUR WAY OVERPRICED CAR, YOUR SIMPLE LINE DASHBOARD + IPAD, GO HOME TO THE GYM TO WORK, SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP
>>29101407Leave my board nigger.
>>29101660you're a european van
sitting in my van watching a DVD and sipping on iced coffeeit's an okay thursday
>>29101407No, it... has to do with vans being used to capture and rape people.
>>29136299awesome
>>29140268love this vehicle but 9MPG hurts
>>291420199mpg isn't too bad, but it could be better.Might be time to start looking into tuning.https://carburetedinnovations.com/products/carb-cheaterWe were talking about it here as well >>29139271>>29139432
>>29142199it's not even carbeurated it's TBI
>>29142019get to hypermiling
>>29143200...oh
>>29101632>windowless compartament you can do whatever you want inThe European mind recoils in horror at the concept of privacy apparently.
>>29143462isn't that like one of the most known yurop facts
>>29143464I joke, but we're sleep walking into it as well.
Whoever is bumping this thread, you're doing a great job. Have a free post.
>>29143462This is some serious cope. American alphabet soup agencies and private companies have much more power and leeway to mess with the average Joe's private data than in Yurop. Privacy is much more guarded in Yurop than in the USA, although it is declining to ever increasing involved of online tech in daily life.
>>29143304>hypermiling>in an old chevy vananon...>>29143460For what it's worth TBI is basically just two fuel injectors sitting where a carb would've been
>>29143661hey man maybe you could get it up to like 10 or 11 mpg if you really tried
>>29143694I'm doing an lt engine swap on mine, I'm trying to get it up to 16 with more transmission gears and electric fan cooling. We'll see.
>>29145551electric fans will never cool as much as a mechanical fan, I learned that one the hard way
>>29145639the only electric fans i'd ever install would be the ones from the mk8 lincoln continental. they actually do move like 4000 cfm of air at max speed. you need some beefy wiring for them though.my mates constantly give me shit about just running electric fans instead of a clutch fan on my car and say my overheating issues are because of that. I have to constantly remind them that was the radiator just being inadequately sized because it eventually overheats even flying 70+ mph down the highway, when the fan would be totally useless. Hell, fans don't even need to run past 35 mph. I also point out the countless cars running the stock clutch fan with bigger cams, more power etc. and they still say to just go electric lol.
>>29145664I put a thicker radiator and a severe duty fan clutch in my van and now I never have to worry about it overheating again
>>29145551I just want to see you put wheel covers and a big ass boat tail on it.
>>29145639I have FF dynamics stage 4 fans going into it. They're far beefier motor-side than even the 2012 Silverado that the engine came from, with custom shrouding. If there'll ever be an electric fan setup to rival mechanical, this is it. It will massively reduce parasitic loss from the mechanical fan.>>29145727This honestly sounds kinda fun to try. Might just have to do it and make a video like that one.
>>29146426>massively reduce parasitic lossI don't get it, doesn't the load just end up shifted over to the alternator? something something entropy? is the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical to run the fan motor less wasteful than the mechanical energy just, operating the fan?>t.redneck who flunked college
>>29147111Always attached, partially or fully engaged mechanical system = lossy. Electrical system that's instantly disconnected and separate from rotating mass = less lossy, basically. A mechanical fan with a less than perfect clutch will also drag and eat up horsepower to churn around air for no benefit at cruising speeds. And I like air conditioning at standstills.
>>29147233I suppose it saves you a lot of power during the winter when you need way less airflow, huh?
>>29137538Shut up polaris
we've had modern transit and sprinters for like 20 years bro. They are heavily used in motocross and karting.
