They are totally cool and fun to drive. Just way too dangerous.

That video of the orange vanagon truck hitting the wall is misleading. It was going about 60 mph and, they say, had about a ton of steel in the back. Real crash tests on vanagons are very good. In a head-on between a vanagon and a Volvo wagon, the Volvo dummy dies and the vanagon dummy walks away.

A '61 VW truck on the other hand...
