When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?

I know regular people do not have this much fun just by the look of disbelief they get on there faces when you try to tell them about the fun you have had.....
When I took a ten year break from 2% vanning. The previouse life style I led gave me some very important social tools that came in very handy when I was doing the 9 to 5 thing.
Just passed my 7th anniversary back in vanning. I really don't know why but the past 7 years have been event more fun than the first 15 years I spent vanning.
The only thing I might do different if I could go back was buy a Chevy as my 1st van.
Other than that MY LIFE IS GOOD........
ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS

| | | Re: would you do it again | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 4,007 Likes: 47 | Started vanning in 78, actually thought about it 6 years earlier, but when I went to check out vans at a dealer (Chevy I do believe) everything, and I do mean everything was optional, from extra seats to a passenger side outside mirror. So, I decided against it and kept up with my street racing ways. If I had to do it again, those options would have been sitting in my driveway and I would have started years sooner. To quote with a little change, a Saturday Night Live character, "Vanning been very very good to me".

I would do it in a heart beat. Now have to make a choice to try to sell the van do to couple reasons . | | | Re: would you do it again | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 6,261 Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN. | Bad Girls from New York, Bad Western Inn in IN.

But as some have mentioned, my big change would have been to remain a body repair man and continue to build radical vans. I was always broke and tired but those were certainly the good old days...
