This was parked nearby and I couldn't resist a photo, maybe an inspiration for DLB:

Re: VW Moosemobile
Wow - that's almost the same color as the '69 POS I was sentenced to for 13 years...
I think it ate at least three engines (in suburban driving, mind!).
The body looks intact on this - mine, even back in the late '70s, had holes through the floor and rockers.

T4WD augury?

Re: VW Moosemobile
so funny you posted this now. i was just working on the ol' POS now until i got rained out. did you know that replacing upper control arm bushings on these stupid things requires spot welding them into place? because lord knows every one who works on their VW has a welder just kicking around. i hate VWs.
anyway. love the stickers. those antlers can't be good for aerodynamics though. i would bet money they leak, too!

Those antlers are there to receive messages from the head dude at the Moose Lodge? Telepathy is for real.
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Re: VW Moosemobile
LOL! I don't think it has enough stickers. Needs more. I can donate some RockStar and Jeggs stickers to the owner. Maybe he should go get a kids sticker book and put all the stickers on his van. Hehehe....
I actually saw three of those vans last Sat while I was at work. Every time I looked out the window I saw one either driving by or pulling in. One was all sorts of bright hippie colors (only needed peace signs and hippie flowers to be complete), and the other two were normal colors (one yellow, the other blue). My fiance used to have a blue one in perfect shape, only needed a new engine. But his co-worker (an avid VW fan w/2 '60s bugs) wanted it super bad, so he sold it to the guy.
