Another New Van



The SWC clan posing in front of "Grey Van".
Well, I've done it again. I bought a new van (1988) and sold my old van (1987). I saw it on CL-Sacramento and decided it would be my LAST van purchase. if this one didn't satisfy me then none could.  It's an '88 Toyota Van with 4WD AND a 5-speed manual transmission, AND the works, AND awesome camper interior (which I'll feature in a future post). I am in the northeast, so I arranged to have it taken to my buddy's (SWC's) place in Sacramento. There it sat safely in his garage from January to May of 2013, when I made the trip out there to retrieve it. This trip was justified as part of our annual "work together at home" week, where we simply go to one or the other person's house, and work from home. In the evenings we like to drink PBR and talk about vans.  SWC has a 2006 Chevy Express AWD with sliding door, for which we spent a lot of time building an interior bed and table.

Soon after arriving at SWC's place, he took me to his garage for my maiden view of the new van.  The van has a cool camper interior (which I'll show off later), that fits a 14" coleman cooler perfectly.  I opened to find it packed with PBR and Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA.  What a treat!
