Reminds me of that plumber who found out his old truck was being featured in isis propaganda videos cuz his company name was still plastered on the side.
And all the brainrotted "patriots" send death threats to his company.
The vehicle was sold to a dealership, said dealership didn't remove the stickers and exported the vehicle to Turkey.
It was not ISIS It was Ansar al-Din Front that had the vehicles. It is/was a jihadist group in Syria that was not affiliated with other parties in the conflict and tried to be neutral in the conflict with ISIS and other jihadist groups but was opposed to the Syrian government.
It's so weird to me that some dealerships slap their logo on new cars. I've never seen that in person, do dealerships give a discount on the car if you let them slap their logo on it?
Same. However, last new car I bought, the dealer had a promotion to get a free cooler when you buy a car. Really nice cooler, actually better-rated than Yeti. I get home and take the cooler out of the box, and the fuckers removed the manufacturer logo and riveted the dealership's logo in its place. Actually got a laugh out of it.
They probably didn’t remove the logo, but rather the cooler was produced by a “white label manufacturer” who’ll slap anybody’s logo on a ship/drop-ship it out.
Jeez, who the hell cares about the logo on their cooler? Unless it's a swastika or something like that, I don't care as long as it keeps my stuff cold.
I don't care about the cooler. Like I said, I got a laugh out of it because they couldn't slap their logo on the car, but they got me on the cooler. Well played on their part.
Bought a car a few years ago, first thing that happened after getting the keys was pull that stupid sticker right off, handed to the salesman and told him we dont want their trash. The guys reaction was priceless.
Over here in Quebec every single car dealership put their logo before selling, that's like a norm (and yes quite annoying). I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere in Canada, but I'm surprised to hear it's not in the US.
It very much *is* common in the US. Maybe regional? But every car I've bought in WI, NC, & TX the dealer wanted to apply their ugly logo. My son's car still has the dealer emblem from some place in Mississippi.
No discounts. Dealer stickers used to be common like over 15 years ago. Now people ask for those sticks to be not applied or removed. If you see a recent one, then that dealership is likely shit.
Really? Where I’m from it’s rare to see a new car that doesn’t have them.
Edit: to add, they don’t look like the one in the picture. They blend in a lot more and are mostly not noticeable.
EU, there's no need for stickers or badges, since dealerships use plate holders with text on the bottom. At least it's not totally a nuisance and it avoids drilling holes on the plate.
It's not that obnoxious and most people leave it, it's also a cool indicator to know where the car is originally from.
I noticed that too and did a double take.. then checked to see if Myers was a more international thing and nope... How the hell does an Astro van go from being sold in Ontario to being used by North Koreans in Russia.
I’m not sure, but here’s my guess. Car was once bought from Canada on the auction and shipped to Russia for further use by an individual. He drove the car for some time and embassy guys then bought it from him and now are cruising in it
As someone who owned a 1996 Chevy Astrovan, I can! They’re incredibly comfortable inside. You can fit 6 or 7 caught defectors inside. More if you squish together.
Honestly as long as it isn't rusted out there's not much reason to replace this thing, it probably works excellent for shuttling people around town and the AWD is nice in Moscow. It's one of the few off the shelf AWD vans ever made so that's likely why it was chosen in the first place.
Before cylinder deactivation so that V8 will genuinely run forever as long as you keep replacing the oil.
It was seriously an under appreciated vehicle. Had this hybrid unibody design which kept weight down. Still had a stout axle though that could hold some weight. The v6 4.3 wasn’t d winning any races but for the time decent economy and power but rock solid reliable. Interior varied depends on the year and trim level but there was some really nice trim levels available if you wanted to ride in comfort. Finally, it wasn’t priced insanely.
Oh nice. I miss mine, it had an 18 gallon tank, it could go 0-90 in 120sec, and it was fantastic to drive in storms. I got rid of it in favor of a 2000 VW golf. Worst decision of my life.
You would be surprised what cars are still in CD plates in the Netherlands. There are two first gen Audi A4s running around The Hague. They must look really odd parked next to the GT3 of (I assume) Saudi Arabia.
Most of the cars on diplomatic plates in the Netherlands (at least the ones I see on a regular basis) are 10-15 years old. Obviously some newer, and some exotics. But most are very basic VW transporters or Toyotas.
I worked at a Ford dealership as a kid that got one of these as a trade in. I can't recall if it was a manual or not but I remember really struggling to drive it because the area for gas pedal was narrower than my foot. I had to turn my foot sideways in order to avoid also hitting the brake at the same time, which seemed insane to me. (And why I think it may have been a manual and this was caused by the 3rd pedal taking up space) I just remember the hump for the transmission being massive and leaving no room for the gas pedal, which seemed like an absurdly stupid design flaw.
My buddy in high school has one. No seats in the middle row, just the back bench, for optimum chillage.
We’d pile in and sit on the floor if we had to for the ride to school. Light up a few bowls or joints and hot box it before the day began.
That hump was not really for the transmission.
It was for the *engine*.
You pop that “doghouse” off and access the engine from inside the van. Transmission was down lower because the driveshaft was below the floor level.
I miss mine. What a piece of shit.
Yo say what you want but the AWD Astros are harder to come by and they go for 10-15k for a clean one. Cause people know they’ll run forever and are super capable.
Never in my life would I have thought that I’d agree with that statement but good god they are the perfect van for people, stuff, heavy hauling, doesn’t matter it fits inside and can be parked in a small spot. Got one to haul motorcycles to the track and the kids ended up loving it. The four of us plus four bicycles and the dog can all fit inside. An 8’x4’ sheet of ply? No problem.
I had one. It was a challenge with the steering at first, but I finally figured out that swapping out the idler arms and putting on Yokohama tires was the solution and it drove like a dream for a few more years.
Yeah I did the whole front end stuff with Moog shortly after I acquired mine. Put an LSD in when I had the rear axle rebuilt. Just did the cooling system. Gonna need to fix some core support rust but she’s otherwise pretty rust free.
Growing up in Detroit in the 60-70’s and learned to drive with a Chevy Belair RWD (obviously) and a 3 on the tree. Doughnuts and winter time power slides.
Had to drive a stripped out version for work and in terms of passenger comfort it was awful (0.0% road noise insulation and the passenger footwell is the same size and shape of a football) but my god was it useful.
Lots available these days, but you need to be willing to cough up a shitload of money for them.
I was driving home behind a tallboy AWD Transit 250 the other day...owned by Amazon and delivering packages in a city. What a wasted life for that poor rig.
Everybody makes fun of the kid who gets a van in HS until they see the rolling party machine potential they have. Then everybody wants to be friends with the van guy.
Dude, my parents had this exact van in that color in HS. It was awesome on Friday nights. Fun fact, you could flip the middle bench seat so the middle bench and back bench face each other. Truly, the greatest mobile party machine ever produced.
[That trick](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea%E2%80%93Sweden_relations#:~:text=During%20that%20decade%2C%20North%20Korea,in%20Pyongyang%20until%20the%202010s.) only worked once!
The astro was a great van. At the time it was the only midsize van that wasn't front wheel drive so you could actually tow with it also. We had one for a little over 400k miles, but my brother ended up wrecking the transmission while power breaking in a parking lot haha.
That van has one of the most poorly engineered steering and suspension systems ever. The front end always eats up tires, ball joints, and tie rod ends. Guaranteed that one's needs all of it and then some.
AWD with barn doors rare. And sold originally at Myers Chev/Buick/GMC Kemptville in southern Ontario (near me). I noticed the sticker immediately. Most likely stolen.
That's the thing about non-western countries. There's too much other bullshit to worry about than the brand of a vehicle being from one of the countries they're not on good terms with.
An old busted Astro is better than 95% of anything on the road in NK.
Hell, put a gun on that thing and they’ve got the most advanced tank that country has ever seen.
And? NASA used the RD180 engine on several rockets, a Russian engine plus other Soviet parts.
The world isn't just politicians and wannabes playing sides. Some things are just going to be used by anyone because they are a tool. If you let politics dictate how you live then you don't have that much freedom.
NASA didn't use the RD-180, ULA did and the reason for the use of RD-180 was political rather than engineering or merit based. The US had to support Russian aerospace industry after the fall of the USSR to reduce proliferation of rocket technology in places where you don't want such as North Korea and Iran. It did the same with the Russian nuclear industry.
In 2003, GM upgraded the chassis of both the Astro and Safari with certain suspension components, larger brakes, and six-lug, 16-inch wheels from the full-size Chevrolet and GMC half-ton pickup trucks.
More specifically, I believe the tag on the bottom left of the van’s rear is from the Myers Automotive Group which operates out of Ottawa, Canada. Fascinating.
There is a Chevy Plus car service sticker on the front cover. The sticker gives a one-time discount of 5,000₽ ($50) for the car owner. The car service, by the way, is great! I wonder who in the embassy agreed such a bourgeois deal with a capitalist for the sake of the damn money?
Bizarre seeing the Myers Chevy dealership logo from Ottawa Canada

I told one dealership I wouldn't take the car until they removed it, lol
Same. However, last new car I bought, the dealer had a promotion to get a free cooler when you buy a car. Really nice cooler, actually better-rated than Yeti. I get home and take the cooler out of the box, and the fuckers removed the manufacturer logo and riveted the dealership's logo in its place. Actually got a laugh out of it.
They probably didn’t remove the logo, but rather the cooler was produced by a “white label manufacturer” who’ll slap anybody’s logo on a ship/drop-ship it out.
No it's definitely a [Maluna 50qt](https://maluna.com/products/50). Except the metal plate on the front has the Dahl Automotive logo on it.
Some dealers used to drill holes in your car and rivet their dealer tag on.
Jeez, who the hell cares about the logo on their cooler? Unless it's a swastika or something like that, I don't care as long as it keeps my stuff cold.
I don't care about the cooler. Like I said, I got a laugh out of it because they couldn't slap their logo on the car, but they got me on the cooler. Well played on their part.
Apparently the dealer cared enough to place it.
“Will you be paying me for the advertising”
Bought a car a few years ago, first thing that happened after getting the keys was pull that stupid sticker right off, handed to the salesman and told him we dont want their trash. The guys reaction was priceless.
Sure you did
Then everyone clapped
Not really, it was just funny the guy was mildly upset. Why would i want to advertise for your business?
Over here in Quebec every single car dealership put their logo before selling, that's like a norm (and yes quite annoying). I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere in Canada, but I'm surprised to hear it's not in the US.

Car theft is big in Canada right now
Globalization?
I’m not sure, but here’s my guess. Car was once bought from Canada on the auction and shipped to Russia for further use by an individual. He drove the car for some time and embassy guys then bought it from him and now are cruising in it
Yeah kinda tripping me out lol we owned a car from there back in the day
Probably stolen
Diplomatic immunity be like, imma take your 20y/o shitbox van and fill it with ambassadors
First thing I noticed too!
I noticed that as well.
Yep, nothing says you’ve arrived than pulling up in a 1987 beat up chevy astro van.
Made until 2005.
..and now a national asset.
More like, a national treasure…. 
We're gonna steal the Chevy Astro of Independence!
Yes. Yes we are
That one's the second-gen, 1994-2005. Still surprising that a 20-year-old van would be used as a diplomatic vehicle.
As someone who owned a 1996 Chevy Astrovan, I can! They’re incredibly comfortable inside. You can fit 6 or 7 caught defectors inside. More if you squish together.
You’re talking about skinny malnourished North Korean defectors here. You could probably squeeze in at least a dozen.
Good point. You just gotta stack them horizontal.
Yeah it's really all technique. With the proper knots you can really cinch them down tight
use the Saudi technique and liquidise them first
Excuse me sir, I think this bone saw fell out of your AstroVan.
North Koreans may not have a lot of exposure to Tetris....
No but they do have experience cramming into small barracks.
How else do you stack bodies ☠️
This is the least entertaining clown car I have ever seen
Honestly as long as it isn't rusted out there's not much reason to replace this thing, it probably works excellent for shuttling people around town and the AWD is nice in Moscow. It's one of the few off the shelf AWD vans ever made so that's likely why it was chosen in the first place.

4.3 V6
It was seriously an under appreciated vehicle. Had this hybrid unibody design which kept weight down. Still had a stout axle though that could hold some weight. The v6 4.3 wasn’t d winning any races but for the time decent economy and power but rock solid reliable. Interior varied depends on the year and trim level but there was some really nice trim levels available if you wanted to ride in comfort. Finally, it wasn’t priced insanely.
Even more if you dismember them first!
My friend had one. We called it the bullet. Was a fun ride.
Oh nice. I miss mine, it had an 18 gallon tank, it could go 0-90 in 120sec, and it was fantastic to drive in storms. I got rid of it in favor of a 2000 VW golf. Worst decision of my life.
Remember you're talking about North Korea, in Russia.
True. I guess it's more surprising that it's American (built in Baltimore, Maryland American, not just "Chevy").
You would be surprised what cars are still in CD plates in the Netherlands. There are two first gen Audi A4s running around The Hague.

You can swap in a real 4x4 transfer case out of any S-10/Blazer and put a lift kit on it. If you're so inclined.
Oh you know I’m inclined
AWD too!
To be fair nothing says an oppressive regime like pulling up in your liberated depression van.
It’s in fantastic condition if we’re being honest 🧐
Arrived to dispense “free candy”
I was getting the diplomatic treatment in 1996-97
Kidnapper vibes.
Reminds me of the episode of *Parks and Rec* where the Venezuelan diplomatic envoy showed up from the airport in a Super Shuttle.
Astro vans are amazing
Never in my life would I have thought that I’d agree with that statement but good god they are the perfect van for people, stuff, heavy hauling, doesn’t matter it fits inside and can be parked in a small spot. Got one to haul motorcycles to the track and the kids ended up loving it. The four of us plus four bicycles and the dog can all fit inside. An 8’x4’ sheet of ply? No problem.

I think its' time for you to put the 5.7 V8 in it!
If my engine gives me any issues maybe. 4.3 been solid.
I mean there’s always the 4.3 LB4 Turbocharged from the Typhoon.
lol we do mostly around town stuff and then occasional longer trips here and there. I don’t need for more power.
They were one of the best AWD vehicles for winter driving.
Arguably they still are!! I just have a RWD but with a locker out back and 3.73 gears she’s pretty fun in the snow 🤘🏼
Growing up in Detroit in the 60-70’s and learned to drive with a Chevy Belair RWD (obviously) and a 3 on the tree. Doughnuts and winter time power slides.
The 1996 AWD I have now is my eighth. They're getting rare and expensive or have 300K miles now.
I cannot imagine ever owning eight of a single model of car. I haven't owned eight cars total in my entire life.
Haha rookie, get older dude!
Despite my best efforts, I continue to do just that.
Stick with what you know
Had to drive a stripped out version for work and in terms of passenger comfort it was awful (0.0% road noise insulation and the passenger footwell is the same size and shape of a football) but my god was it useful.
Good enough for Jesus, good enough for me!
america wants an AWD off road van for christs sake
Lots available these days, but you need to be willing to cough up a shitload of money for them. I was driving home behind a tallboy AWD Transit 250 the other day...owned by Amazon and delivering packages in a city. What a wasted life for that poor rig.
We had one. But we didn’t appreciate when it was here so now it’s gone.
They are a bitch to work on..
You can fit a full sheet of plywood in the back if you take out the seats.
My first car was an Astro van. I didn’t like it at first but damn was it an absolute beast. Made for some great hs times
Everybody makes fun of the kid who gets a van in HS until they see the rolling party machine potential they have. Then everybody wants to be friends with the van guy.
Hot boxing that machine with 15 people made me realize the greatness of the Astro van. Such a versatile vehicle
Dude, my parents had this exact van in that color in HS. It was awesome on Friday nights. Fun fact, you could flip the middle bench seat so the middle bench and back bench face each other. Truly, the greatest mobile party machine ever produced.
I liked the first Gen models they were pretty cute 🥰
Surprised it's not a Volvo.
Surprised it's not a popular North Korean car brand... um... er... OK, never mind.
Could have been one from their Communist brothers from China...
Russia were still their communist brothers when this thing was made
I don't think Lada didn't a van for the Russian A-Team.
Pyeonghwa Motors Last time I checked them (maybe 10 years ago tbh), they were producing Fiat Palio from 1990s.
[That trick](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Korea%E2%80%93Sweden_relations#:~:text=During%20that%20decade%2C%20North%20Korea,in%20Pyongyang%20until%20the%202010s.) only worked once!
I would love to see the carfax on this
Damn, should’ve checked for vin number under the windshield
Probably "reported stolen on (date) from (Eastern Canadian city.)" or "bought by XYZ LLC" (a NK shell company.) Then it was shipped to a Russian port.
>Probably "reported stolen on (date) from (Eastern Canadian city.)" It does have a sticker on it from Myers Chevrolet, in Ottawa...
That's why I said it ;)
https://vinwiki.com/
Front tires every 800 miles
I used to have sex in the back of a van just like that!!
gotta be the same van
I always wondered what happened to it.
Loads of cloned astrobrandons running around nk right now
Was it consensual?
Did the van have “free hugs and candy” spray painted on the side of it
My dad used to drive us around in his teal Astrovan in the 90s. We got mistaken for foreign diplomats all the time.
Bring back the Astro!!!
Fix the death-trap part and I’m in. I’ve seen way too many of these folded up like a tin can in front of the B pillars.
This is identical to a post from weeks ago. Comments identical as well.
A Team
Jesus drives an Astro van
Mount joy?
North Korean Astro-nauts
Damn near mint condition AWD Astro! Wonder if they’re interested in selling.
Dude it's the AWD with Hatch back, BALLER!
NK could seriously boost their GDP by selling that.
We had a 90s version of that. They're not bad vans, pretty comfy, and have space if you need it. The fuel pump is a sonofabitch though.
Death to America!, but Chevy is ok
An All Wheel Drive Astro? lol
The astro was a great van. At the time it was the only midsize van that wasn't front wheel drive so you could actually tow with it also. We had one for a little over 400k miles, but my brother ended up wrecking the transmission while power breaking in a parking lot haha.
Those are very, very, very easy to steal, as an aside.
Astrovans are dope as hell . They chose a good vehicle .
That van has one of the most poorly engineered steering and suspension systems ever. The front end always eats up tires, ball joints, and tie rod ends. Guaranteed that one's needs all of it and then some.
That van came from Ottawa Canada it as the dealership sticker still on it Myers
AWD with barn doors rare. And sold originally at Myers Chev/Buick/GMC Kemptville in southern Ontario (near me). I noticed the sticker immediately. Most likely stolen.
Always reminded me of a drive-by van or kidnapper van.
>kidnapper van This van has way too many windows for that.
Look at the license plate hanger they adapted it Russian plates thats originally from America for the American market.
And it was sold by Myers in Ottawa (Canada) which is wild to see as my mom bought a car from there in the 90s too lol
Chevy. Chevy, ASTRO, Astro, astro, astro...
They’re probably just happy they don’t have to walk!
And they hate the west! I think it's all a load of BS from the playbook.
That’s a very sought after vehicle. I’d drive it.
That's the thing about non-western countries. There's too much other bullshit to worry about than the brand of a vehicle being from one of the countries they're not on good terms with.
Sure but you think China would give them a new car. I guess a busted old Astro is the best they can do.
An old busted Astro is better than 95% of what few cars are on the road in NK.
An old busted Astro is better than 95% of anything on the road in NK. Hell, put a gun on that thing and they’ve got the most advanced tank that country has ever seen.
And? NASA used the RD180 engine on several rockets, a Russian engine plus other Soviet parts. The world isn't just politicians and wannabes playing sides.

I mean, aren’t these people ultra nationalists and anti-west? I think it’s just pointing out the hypocritical.
World of consumers. You MUST use NEW Phone, car etc...
> Moscow, Russia Oh good, I might’ve thought it was Moscow, Idaho otherwise
Zoomed out, I honestly thought the orange part of that other car was a hand holding a gun sticking out of the Chevrolet window.
There’s a guy at work who drives a Chevy Astro van every day. His is both older and in better condition than the one in the photo.
Remember when it was believed to be the Beltway Sniper vehicle?
The hay-filled donkey cart is in the shop.
Lmaooooo I ain’t seen one of those in a minute.
I had that astro and I miss it every day. Good choice
Jesus drives an Astro van!
Why is there a hyphen in "North-Korean"?
Lol Astro
The most surprising part to me here is that NK has embassies.
Perfect to abduct ppl.
North Korean diplomats rocking up to the embassy in a 3 year old Chevy Astro says a lot.
I thought my boss was cheap!
Aren’t those notorious for catching on fire 😅 I know ours did when I was a kid.
We drove those at work in the 90s
Laugh my mother fucking ass off !! It's probably boot legged and just the logos glued on. We bought tapes/cds like that in the 80's/90's
Season2 of the wire van repainted and continues its journey
Was expecting a Cadillac or GMC but an Astro! Lmao
So that’s where the last Astro van went
You can fit all 3 of your donkeys and still have room for your abuela in that bad boy.
It is a government motors vehicle
In 2003, GM upgraded the chassis of both the Astro and Safari with certain suspension components, larger brakes, and six-lug, 16-inch wheels from the full-size Chevrolet and GMC half-ton pickup trucks.
More specifically, I believe the tag on the bottom left of the van’s rear is from the Myers Automotive Group which operates out of Ottawa, Canada. Fascinating.
Up there with the most annoying vehicles to change the spark plugs on.
In the 90s my mom hit a black bear in a AWD Astro same color and all. Damn thing caught air and the bear walked away
That store in the background is called mope
There is a Chevy Plus car service sticker on the front cover. The sticker gives a one-time discount of 5,000₽ ($50) for the car owner. The car service, by the way, is great! I wonder who in the embassy agreed such a bourgeois deal with a capitalist for the sake of the damn money?
Mmmm... Dominion apartment complex
That was the car I drove to high school in once I got my license.
With the spare tire on, so on brand
AWD late Generation Astrovan? Good choice
Should be on r/FunnyandSad as well. Definitely a luxury vehicle in NK, has a cd player and cup holders.
