This scares and impresses me at once...

It is well done, but is it legal?

And what the hell is it for???

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw this on the way to work this morning. Now, it may not be made by a rank amateur, it may have some polish, but I consider it well within the bounds of Impromptu for a couple of reasons:

  • The proportions are such that the van looks ready to tip over.
  • The addition was obviously a case of "making do" with what these people had at hand.  

Don't get me wrong: I cast no aspersions here. This is obviously a well-made structure, but it looks so tacked on to the van. I tried to peek inside to see any structural changes made to support the added weight, but there was a rather cross looking fella in the passenger's seat, watching me with wary eyes. How do they drive through Manhattan looking like this? Don't they get pulled over constantly?

It didn't have commercial tags, even. Crazy crazy. I hope it is helping someone make his way into a successful business, because this mod shows cajones.

I saw this vanhouse driving past as I stood on the corner of 3rd Ave & Union St. last night about 5:45.
