I am about to pull the trigger on a 2011 Chevy Express Rocky Ridge package for $30k-ish (51k miles)
Any opinions on conversion vans?
Large family...our Suburban is maxed out.
-
my opinion is that if you drive one you are a complete stud
-
great for pouring bone
-
they are convenient to help other cat fans get to games, if you have space after the fam of course.
-
buy this one instead

they gross me out, almost makes me anxious thinking about them. would consider killing off family members before purchasing one.

Look at all that quality woodwork!
-
before you buy one ask if any rapes have been reported in it.
-
"Rockwood" cause that's what you'll be doing in that bad boy. :thumbs:
-
does it have an n64?
-
They are awesome, but by the time you have enough kids to fill one up, odds are at least one of your kids will be old enough to drive him/herself and won't want to ride in the van with you anyway.
-
pro tip.. when you lock your keys in the car (mom) the back window on those slides and if your stud son is small and young enough at the time you can squeeze him through that and he can get the keys but not before starting it and acting like he is going to take off

My dad has a real old one that looks just like a rape van. He uses it to move his bee hives but it also works great when you have to move furniture!

If you are a stud. then you ROCK THE eff OUT OF THAT SON OF A BITCH!!
I am not even a stud, but I have always wanted to own one of those bad boys (norapey).

I like 'em with the bubble window on the side. Great for lookin' out on the road.

If that van is a rockin', someone call 911 and report a rape.

Did you see what that little kid was wearing? Practically begging for it.

My family had a red-and-white striped Chevy van when I was growing up. That thing was awesome - built in police radar detector and CB radio, 4 captains chairs and a table in the middle for playing card games on long road trips, bench seat in the far back, TV (maybe 8 or 10", but color) mounted to the roof. More cupholders than a family of 5 could ever conceivably need. Tiny suicide door on the side.
Those were the days.

I think my grandparents had one exactly like this, did it have a little shelf above the drivers head where you could put stuff or if you were little you could even crawl up there?

No, it didn't have that, but Chevy made them in all flavors. You could remove a panel and crawl underneath the bench seat in the back and get into the "trunk".

how many friggin kids do you have, GFA? That's far more interesting than your vehicle choice. (which I'll admit is very interesting).

We had a similar GMC "Starcraft" conversion - it had sweet indirect mood lighting along the headliner and the benchseat that would fold out into bed that was almost the dimensions of a full size mattress :fatty:

Rode to the Fiesta from my hotel in a conversion van. Boss move. Instead of waiting for the urinal lines, we just opened the suicide doors and boom, problem solved.

I'm gonna level with you. I don't have any kids and don't plan on buying a conversion van. I just copied this from GPC.

the conversion van my parents had when i was growing up had a built in refrigerator and sink and you'd fill up a tank with water and then you could be driving down the road and pour yourself a nice cup of water. also swiver captain chairs and a removable card table thing in the middle. so great.

once upon a time when I was young and dumb I sold cars for a living. well, an asian dude (only mention this because there was a language barrier, no racist) wanted to get rid of his mini van and get another van. i showed him a slick ass convan. he asked me if he could get to wichita and back to k.c. without refilling with gas because he had a store there and made weekly trips. I said hells yeah man. so he shelled out the mad dough and bought it. i kid you not two weeks later he shows back up at the dealership pissed as hell because his trip to wichita cost him about $120 dollars in gas when when he used to be able to do it for about $60. he wanted me to take the van back and i said "hey bud, what's the deal here, I gave you what you wanted?" he said I lied about the van. I asked him if he had to fill up the gas tank before he got back from wichita and he said no. it had 2 x 20 gallon tanks lmbo. i partied for like 2 weeks on the comission from that convan alone.
by the convan gFa, buds will chip in for gas
