Well, first night I had her out and legal I took her out to the mountains and hit an elk! Got lucky and saw the stupid beast and swerved but knocked my rearview mirror smooth off! I stopped to get it, the elk had run off, presumably with a huge headache! I could see the next day where some of his (I saw the horns) fur had brushed against the side of my beloved van!!! If I would have hit him square and ruined my van I would have been crushed.
Car gods were watching me that night!
Since then I have showed her and lived in her very comfortably in boulder, co! Interior is still Spartan at best, air mattress, cooler, small USB powered fan. But big stereo and I get paid soon! Last upgrade was tinting the windows nicely and replacing the mirror! The poor ex was all broken up from our split so I gave her $250 to adopt a puppy from a local shelter.
Me and my dog Vendy are stoked!

Good luck is smiling on you, and Vendy certainly looks happy!

Smiles are extremely contagious,
Pass them on!!!

That van is awesome, no European van is as cool as that!

Thanks for the compliment rustbuss!
I wouldn't mind having an old westfalia, (in addition to the g10 of course!) but I love the American shit, especially Chevy!

I don't know how effective they are, but I have some little ornament things attached to my bumper that are supposed to keep wildlife away while driving.  In the past, I've had close calls with deer, elk, and moose.  None since I've had these...  Luck or they work, I don't know.
