message intercept


































































Zoltan, How nice of you to remember me. Thank you, yes all is well with me.Merry Christmas and I hope your sons are doing well! My westy is running great. Glad I had you do the fuel lines & radiator.It was a good investment. I got tired of trying to find a safe place to park at night in Seattle andsleep in the van, so I moved to Wenatchee (Central Washington).Starting to teach at the community college here in Wenatchee and I've beenteaching art at Bellevue Collge since summer. -Lance

how to make your car worthless/ but not to me

pretend your from some weird dorked out future where robots drive family sedans with too many stickers
bolt a bunch of shit you found down in the industrial part of town, to the hood doors trunk


find some black flat spray paint~ it's the details that bring the whole project together

is that really a jet engine exhaust ?



stand back and admire your work and say~ fuck yeah~ watch your girlfriend run away~couch surf until your forty~ then man up and buy a van~ start over with a larger palate~ more freedom~ who cares what society says about automobile ownership and reverence
deface ~destroy ~defame~ everything we are Americans
those people you see in the malls and on TV shows their not Americans they smell too nice their cloths fit them, without holes and dust, they have nice shiny things and teeth
they don't do things to cars~ not like this~
they will never be anything but~ filler
n~

best piece of art ever

this cube van has shown up in our hood and holy crap it blends in so well to our urban decayed part of town is nearly invisible~ don'tcha think~
before the ink dried, faded and ran i thought it should have been purchased by The MOMA or Kmoca

i want to steal the door and hang it on my wall~


i don't read graffiti~ or tag~ or bomb style so i don't know what it says~ anyone ?




some stupid tweekers name x one million times




parked in front of the five hundred thousand dollar town homes~ nice~ live in cube guys~

scare tactics ad

Your Vanagon will go up in flames soon ... - $220 (Lynnwood)

Your fuel system is up to 29 years old. Eventually it will go up in flames if it's not changed. Many of these vans are very much loved and a whole family relies on it's service, being such a multi purpose vehicle. The only way is to change the fuel lines that takes the high fuel pressure and use the right stainless steel fuel clamps that won't damage the hoses. I can come to your home or place of work to do it, and it will take about four hours. I am dedicated to save all the Vanagons from fire and keep them on the road forever, or as long as possible. Sure, there maybe other less important items you would like to be done on your van, and they can also be done, but nothing as urgent as this. Contact your Vanagon friends about this, if you have any. Contact me and I'll come and do it for you.

east coast

toy ranchero for sale-stupid tag in the way-
lots of toys in this cabinet

micro machines- this limo glows when you push down



tiny train set sedan - so cute and flesh colored


this little old lady pulled up next to me in Goshen, NY- this is a very old daily driver on the east coast and really old driver and passenger




Dodge Rampage anyone- and beige too- this guy was hiding somewhere in the woods





a very funny car to build- but what do you expect from MOPAR but you know- i love it !


i saw only two vanagons on the road and both were on the west side of the Rockies- who killed all the westies and vw's
