Just saw that Pee-Wee Herman posted about #SpeedyCop's Trippy Tippy Hippie Van:

A sideways-driving VW camper van!!

Man, that's awesome! I mean, the van is very cool, but Pee Wee posting about it is amazing.

Built by the guys who do nutty 24 lemons cars. I remember the plane they built too.

Pee Wee Herman? Isn't he the same Pee Wee Herman that's urging people to unscrew their old incandescent light bulbs and swap them out for CFL's and LED's? I don't know. Sounds like some kind of perverted nutjob to me.

Pretty cool creation. Surprised they let a vehicle that routinely goes up on two wheels in the turns race though.

In reply to T.J.:

Well, if it's a left-hander, it'll probably end up on the wheels regardless. If it's a right-hander, just make sure to really overcook it - then you still have a 50/50 chance of ending up on the wheels.

Ehh, his arrest was in 1991, and yeah it killed his kid's show, but he's had a career since then. I imagine he's made more money than you or I in that time frame. Hell he probably made more money off of Blow than I've made in the subsequent 16 years.

Agreed; they're usually pretty strict about safety at Lemons. They'll flag you in for a minor 2-wheels-off incident that doesn't even raise eyebrows in other series. I'm surprised they didn't flag him in for that.

You'll need to log in to post.
