He called it "the ultimate landlord-mobile". I told him if he bought one, I'd get him custom plates: SLUMLRD I thought it was kind of funny that during this big-vehicle/SUV/gashog/physics thread, that I bought a complement to my '03 S-10. I purchased a '97 Ford Econoslime Conversion Van. The thing is a monster. My garage door opens to 6'9" - this thing is 6'8.75", but (as we found out), the cross-bar on the roof rack bows up another 1/2" in the center, so we had to raise the garage door, and always keep a full tank of gas (and maybe let a little air out of the tires), so it sits low enough to fit. So this monster sits in my garage - it's just huge, you can almost see the sides of the garage bowing out trying to contain it...but nose-to-tail, the 95 Interceptor is STILL LONGER! It's a sweet van though - not as pimpin as the Shaggin Wagon (the van is much too nice to be "pimpin"). But it's got a 9" TV/VCR, 12-disc CD changer, ABS, and Positraction. My old man used it for ice fishing - he actually took this beast out on the ice, windows open in case he went through. It's ice fishing days are over, but it will probably see quite a few more Griswald-esq family vacations, dog shows, and fishing trips.
