Greatest vehicle devised by the mind of man. An aesthetic of pure utility originally designed post war by a Dutch team contracted by VW. I drove my Combi “Lulu” for almost 40 years, after previously owning 2 Combis, a double cab pickup, a single cab pickup, and a double cargo door model, all pre-1968 split window. I rebuilt 7 motors for Lulu and replaced the tranny twice. We had adventures on dirt road cow tracks across the western continent, in the Mojave Desert, snow blizzards in Oregon, and camping trips galore. Brakes went out on July 4, 2013 and rear ended a pickup truck and clonked a telephone utility box off its foundation. I was in mourning for weeks. Best friend I ever had.

So I got the credentials to call this EV monstrosity an abomination erupted from the bowels of Hell. :)

What’s wild is that, as I’m sure you know, they produced those VW vans in South America until ten or so years ago. Still basically the original design!
