I bet that your little whimpy storm did not include snow and ice.
and driving a van is fun. there is nothing more hilarious than driving a car with the suspension so soft that it feels like driving a car made out of jello. It makes for some very interesting cornering ( and e-brake '' drifts '' )
So now you've made it a competition of who's the bigger idiot, great. At least you're talking about your driving in your vehicle I guess. (since apparently his story was about being a passenger in somebody else's, as he's too cool to ever drive a van for any reason, lol)
I don't think many people are like "man, I want to drive a van!" if they have a choice.. that doesn't mean I'd never drive one though, if a situation came up where it was the only form of transportation or whatever. (it's not like I said buy one) So why are you now posting vids of random people driving like complete jackasses in public? Also, I have no idea what you look like & after seeing what you've done to your car, definitely don't want to!
EDIT - oh right, I guess you were trying to show me how cool "ute's" can be.. (which incidentally, pretty much any RWD can be made to do)
just saying if i tried to do that in a van, it'd end up on its side.
besides, cars arent a form of transportation for me, they're for fun, so all that stuff you've said is completely irrelevant.
You've never driven a van, what do you know. And no, all you'd need is some crap tires and/or a damp road etc. I've seen vans that've been slightly lowered/modified do all kinds of wild stuff as well. Not sure why anybody would choose that avenue to spend their money, but that's not the topic here. You're irrelevant, lol.
(wow.. now he doesn't even use vehicles for transportation)
I DD a Miata.. what do you think its primary reason for being is, hauling loads of drywall and/or the carpool lane? Most everything in those vids seemed modified in some manner. While they wouldn't sound near as good, (unless an engine swap occurred), there's no reason you couldn't be as idiotic a driver in a RWD minivan, especially one that's been tweaked, lol. FWIW, I'd be pretty surprised if you could come back in 15yrs & tell me you'd never driven a van of some sort, for one reason or another.
