I had one years ago, it was a good time in the back. I remember some friends and I took it to a concert this one time and the cops were going through the parking lots before the show trying to catch people smoking pot, and when they spotted the van they made a beeline for it. Now my van didn't have any windows in it besides the two front door windows and the windshield. When it was put through the conversion though, someone put these fake teardrop shaped windows on the back end of the van. They looked like darkened glass that went through but they didn't go anywhere. Just glued or screwed to the sheet metal of the body. The cops didn't know this, and they thought for sure that someone was inside there smoking the devils lettuce, and they peered into those teardrop windows intently for a good 15 minutes, shining their flashlights in there and all. idiots. My friends and I were just a couple cars away enjoying a beer and the van was empty
I'm not sure what to think about fake teardrop windows. I find it revolting and amusing - amusing that a company would be that cheap, that people would be that vain, and that somehow this seemed like a good idea to anyone but a yuppie bean-counter.
I don't get the fake windows on the van either. They didn't look bad, but they were pointless
I sometimes see people trying to fake shit. I'll see someone has stuck an M badge on a non M Bimmer. I know the difference.
