So when I get a chance I stop by the Vair Shop. There is always something interesting being worked on. I stopped by today to fix a tire on my Durango and pick up a battery for my Jeep. This is what was around.

urban assualt vehicle..lol
Yeah I told the mother-in-law that they used one in Stripes and she says "Stripes? Whats that?"
I was like "Whaaaaaat?" ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/laugh-18.png)
I like the woodgrain on the Yugo. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/grin-18.png)
I hope the bicycles strapped to the back of the urban assault vehicle are some brand that's equally as obscure. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/grin-18.png)
If they aren't these, they should be:

there is one of those rv's for sale down the street from me.. all i can thinkk is stripes each time i go by it.
Actually, those surviving GMC motorhomes have quite a following, underground following, but very avid fans. From what I've read they drive like a large car, not a large truck or other RV of the time. There were 26, 28, and I think a 30-ish foot versions made. Quite cool. Towed vehicle, too:
There's one for sale on my way home. $2500? I think. But, it's not green.
