The other Speedvagen

[nbrewste]

Gives new meaning to the phrase bomb proof.

The Speedvagen Tank - PROLLY IS NOT PROBABLY

Have any of you actually seen it?

I think it suits their aesthetic -- yeah, it may be a bit overboard on the branding front, but it's pretty damn cool.

[Chance Legstrong]

pass.

[Zen Cyclery]

Ha looks like a machine for the zombie apocalypse!

[shoney]

that thing better run on recycled coffee grounds

[PJN]

Now it makes sense why custom frames cost $4150.

[davids]

That Sacha White, he sure is good at marketing.

That truck's a movie star...

DOTM Decepticon Superfund Armored Truck for Sale on Craigslist

I would love to see the offspring between this and the Rapha mobile; I bet they both want to do each other

[stackie]

Great,

Now my wife wants that as a daily driver. Wonder what the wait is like?

About 10 minutes at the gas pump.

Truck is hot though.

That must have a huge crabon footprint to operate. The practical upside is that there is little or no worry that someone will break into the race van and steal all the gear. Cool marketing gimmick, but the conspicuous consumption angle of it is wrong to me and seems more in place at a nascar event.

That thing is totally worthless unless the great Tina B is standing next to it....

"yeah, it may be a bit overboard on the branding front, but it's pretty damn cool."

Hmm, imagine that.

Personally, I think an FJ60 Land Cruiser would have been a better choice.

They're in Portland. Driving to the race probably means going a few miles down the road. Also, even at 6 mpg the person driving their VW hatch to the race alone probably has a bigger carbon footprint.

Has anyone actually seen a new Vanilla as of recent?

I think the car is stupid.

[rphetteplace]

jesus you know it's winter when the holy Speedvagen name is being taken for granted in two threads!

[Human Epic Jolt]

wind up rubber band motors for everyone.

Nice, but if they want us to buy into it they need to weld a "V" style cage on the end of that exhaust pipe to make it officially tough. Someone from the super-relax team could just walk up and stick a cherry bomb up in there or perhaps a baby seal's head.
