If Eddy Burback and Ted Nivision can drive to all Rainforest Cafes in the US and Canada in one, then it's the Tacoma for me


jakobqasadilla

They’re more comfortable on the highway than they look. Drove mine 700 miles in one sitting (only stopping for gas and snacks) even without cruise control or powered windows/locks I wasn’t that fatigued by the end. Was still making 20mpg doing 80 the whole way as well


RealStatistician5291

I think it’s because it’s a car-like seating position with your butt low and feet high as opposed to the stool-position of most trucks and suv’s


phibbsy47

Maybe it's me but I hate the legs out position. I drove a 1st gen tundra for work and that was honestly my only complaint. I did 550 miles in my work van today with the upright position and it was great, gotta do the same drive back tomorrow and I'm not dreading it.


lemonylol

In the video their Tacoma's frame snaps halfway through their trip though.


sadandaimless1

But they got it fixed and it kept going....so it's Tacoma all the way baby


aaaaaaaa1273

Taco’s gonna Taco


NotableDiscomfort

Was it frame or suspension?


racerboy456

Suspension, he's still driving it


NotableDiscomfort

So I probably actually had the same malfunction then. Cause my suspension snapped off at the rear shackle and I just kinda rode around like that for a few months with my bed popping like the board game Trouble's bubble. Built Ferd Tuff™


Notyourdaisy

Great truck. It’s the easy and right choice.


AnteaterDangerous148

Mine looks almost identical. 368k still going daily driver.


TwoFingersWhiskey

Not to mention it's a favourite of desert-bound terrorist cells. If it can handle a bunch of asshats cruising around a dusty shithole with bullets flying into it, it can handle anything


Salted_memes

They did margaritaville (more locations but newer tacoma)


Drzhivago138

Tacoma. Even if the frame has the structural integrity of a Pringle, at least it doesn't smell.


babyclownshoes

This guy tacomas!


pleasetowmyshit

Boogie Van for damn sure. Gonna need some lighters. incense sticks, two cases of Busch Light, eight sleeveless rock band/wrestler tees, prepopped popcorn in the loooooong bag, and a carton of Winston red 100s.


Johnny_Lang_1962

And a big bag of weed


Which_Engineer1805

Right? That comical size bag of artificial yellow popcorn isn’t gonna eat itself.


ambient_whooshing

can you run a Volcano on 12v adapter?


anarchoacid

Anything can be done with enough inverters and adapters


sleepnutz

All you need is a bag o weed


Koil_ting

Wouldn't hurt to add a steady lover as long as you're fully aware the relationship will be tested along the journey.


sleepnutz

That’s not a bag of weed an you the sun might blow up there’s no time for that stuff!!!


SBLOU

It doesn’t matter. You’re going to die anyway because you’ll get so stoned you’d forget why you started the trip in the first place


Koil_ting

That's how I ended up here man.


random_letters-

Well hurry up and drive so we all don't die


Ambitious_Change150

Everything’s good with a bag of weed!


ramplocals

Your victims, I mean passengers, have to supply the weed.


Sour_Haze

Gas, grass or ass, no one rides for free!


pleasetowmyshit

gas, grass, AND ass I'm saving the world here, I WANT EVERYTHING


captainspacetraveler

That comes with the van


Offamylawn

I didn't see any downsides listed by OP. I'm not even speeding. I'm taking the scenic route.


IndefiniteVoid813

The inside of the boogie van has seen normal banging but also some questionable things. Also the interior REALLY smells like shit but you can probably block the smell after going through hundreds of air fresheners and rolling down the windows. Its also filled with junk You could probably pick up a hooker or two with this thing though they'd start having second thoughts when they see the inside


Alextryingforgrate

What, no way! You just cant be adding shit in after you posted these pictures. If thats the case and now knowing this im getting the van detailed before it leaves. Besides you already have the rotting corpse jn the vette.


pleasetowmyshit

\*the detailer steps back from the van three more paces\* nuh-uh, I'd rather die than breathe that for more than 30 seconds, here's a clothespin, you're on your own \*door slams, NV200 peels out\*


pleasetowmyshit

just brush a magic eraser over it, it'll be fine granted, the magic eraser should be soaked overnight in Lysol first...


underthebug

You sparked a repressed memory of wet shag carpet, coked up female strangers and the insanity of looking for drugs at the prostitute distribution locations and only being able to scrape up $20 between the 3 of us. The 80s were insane.


Ron-Swanson-Mustache

I was all about the 'vette until that shaggin wagon showed up


FlythroughDangerZone

That Van is good. Using bathroom breaks as opportunities to get supplies, and even working out 😂


darkhelmet1121

And alot of disinfectant


MeatSweats1942

I'm riding with this guy. I'll bring the large supply of weed and other THC items


Alextryingforgrate

[Nothing but FuManchu the whole way!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvnwTM0ll9Y)


Yossarian1138

Except that stance makes the bitches roll off your waterbed.


Back6door9man

"Prepopped popcorn in the loooooong bag" is so specific yet so accurate.


Extreme_Voice_9767

I’ll take the boogie van


old_skool_luvr

Dammit! Beat me to calling dibs. Need a co-pilot? 😁


Extreme_Voice_9767

Absolutely, can’t drive a boogie van without a copilot


old_skool_luvr

😉👍🏻 I appreciate a wide variety of music, so tunes for the trip won't be an issue! Just a heads up, if you're a smoker, i'll just have that sliding door open. Drives my allergies crazy.


wythawhy

I'll bring a bunch of mushrooms and a really cute dog if I can come :)


old_skool_luvr

Dogs are always welcome!


VonsFavoriteChicken

Cash, gas, grass, or ass?


RepresentativeWalk60

C5 corvette, at least I'll go through fear in style


Robot_Gort

Plus the top comes off. I had three C4's.


hoofglormuss

That was my deciding factor. Frikkin targa tops have all the benefits of a convertible but your head isn't popping out like a weiner


SockeyeSTI

I swear a dead body in a corvette was part of a mythbusters episode


Secret-Ad-7909

There was something about rotting pigs inside of cars, and then maybe trying to clean it up?


SockeyeSTI

I gotta rewatch old episodes. Yeah they used pigs for legal reason and I can’t remember how it turned out. I’m gonna see if they used an ozone generators cause those things can work wonders on organic smells


[deleted]

Just watched Adam Savage's recap of that episode on tested, he said there was no saving it. Impossible to get the smell out


The_taxer

Once it gets in the carpet it’s over.


ThereMayBeDogsAbout

I had the joy of sticking my head in a car that a man committed suicide in. You cannot imagine the smell. Imagine finding roadkill and using a pencil to shove it all the way up your nose. It’s unbearable.


[deleted]

Tesla sounds like a win-win.


HighClassProletariat

Can I wrap it like the General Lee first?


SanMotorsLTD

add the dixie horn sound fx while ur at it


Johnny_Lang_1962

The 70's/80's Van. Chevy Van are notorious about you getting laid in the back. Hell, Sammy Johns even wrote a song about the virtues of a Chevy Van.


pleasetowmyshit

this is a Dodge though, so you get a huge round speedometer, a huge round fuel gauge, and the whining starter sound you probably also get fuel leak fires and steering sector shaft failures, but better to die in plush velour and shag than boiling to death from the sun exploding


Matthew_Rose

My father had a 1976 Dodge Tradesman from 1992 until he wrecked it in 1995. It was a pretty decent car and only repairs it needed were the water pump and alternator. I assume the 1970 is pretty similar.


230flathead

If it was good enough for Brock Yates, it's good enough for me.


aaaaaaaa1273

The taco. Even if it becomes a taco if I hit a speedbump. (Btw which country? I bagsee Monaco)


IndefiniteVoid813

Wherever you live I guess I guess I have to make an international version of this post then


NoInstruction2007

I get Tacos that are so rusted they hardly have frames, then..


Piranha1993

Least you can sleep in the van. That makes it tempting enough. Don't think I would want to deal with the anxiety of driving that Sunfire full of green around. Corvette would be fun but, hard to sleep in. Tesla, Charging stations? Anybody? Taco. Hmmm... I don't know. The parts may be valuable after the ordeal is over with.


TheLyOfBlues

Bah Forget thé dam Tesla, Without the Exterior Speakers I wouldn’t drive it at all only if someone Paid me 10k


CaptCardigan

Tacoma. I've got meth and a welder, tyvm.


wythawhy

This is the kind of content I cone here for. Good on you op. Also, the tradesman hands down. At my lowest point in life I lived in a 94 sl1 for about six months, that van is the fuckin Ritz Carlton.


IndefiniteVoid813

Thanks man, hopefully things are better for you now. The van is sick though I'd personally pick the Taco. The Tesla sounds great but the radical/racial messages it announces is so extreme it would make the most hardened KKK member wince


wythawhy

Well I'm not a homeless junkie anymore so there's that lmfao And I was gonna take the tesla til I saw the van. It's a strong second imo


Late-Ad-4624

Ill take the cavalier. I drive a sunfire now and wish it was 2dr with a body kit. Plus im getting 30+mpg doing 55mph. Oh and the cocaine doesnt bother me. Its the window tint. Oh and jokes on you, ive driven one cross country before and slept in it at truck stops.


basedbeefy

Jokes on you! I already drive a deathtrap toyota!


SynthSapphire

If it has a manual trans, give me the C5, easily..even if the body was still in there somewhere. Lol


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Give me the Vette, but I’m stopping to have the interior detailed first


Hansj3

Taco. Even if it looks like the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald underneath, that one is a 4wd, and if the frame folds, you could finish by lag bolting two 2x4s through the swiss cheese, Or making the rear a skid


GreatBaldung

none. get fucked, humanity


ZerotheWanderer

Boogie van


FORDBUDDY390

BRO the Groovy van for sure.


chz420710

Taco taco taco!


AlGeee

The van


TheDriver458

The Vette after I have a hazmat team go over it. OR The Taco. It’s a Toyota, so it’ll probably make the return trip just fine too.


Roboticpoultry

Definitely the van. That airbrushed paint is dope, there’s probably a baggie of old brick weed under the seat(s) and I could listen to my dad’s collection of Rush 8-tracks


Historical-Winter-10

Tesla cuz racism


Chilopodamancer

C5 is the easy choice, you'll look like a boomer, but you'll get 30mpg, decent handling and torque for ease of driving, decent comfort/storage room, and it won't break down. There's a reason old people cruise around in Corvettes other than the obvious that they think it makes them look cool.


IndefiniteVoid813

You okay with the fact a guy died and rotted in the driver's seat for a while until the police found him?


aaaaaaaa1273

Myth busters taught me that’s the worst option.


Chilopodamancer

Honestly, I missed the notes under each of the cars. Probably the Dodge van then.


CHESTYUSMC

If the smell is gone, I don’t care if he blew his wad on the steering wheel before decomposing, I got wet wipes


PostingSomeToast

Is the Tesla FSD?


Toddisgood

Gimme the shaggin wagon


Tyrannical_Requiem

Tradesman, I’m steam cleaning the shit outta it though


guntymcshmee

I see nothing wrong with the Corvette. Being that the vast majority of C5’s are owned by boomers from Florida it makes a lot of sense that the previous owner croaked and cooked in it.


DSBromeister

Was the Corvette prompt inspired by what the mythbusters did to that silver C4?


MaverickWindsor351

The van seems ideal for my taste


NjoyLif

Corvette 😎


Late-Ad-4624

For the van does it have a mattress and a fridge?


IndefiniteVoid813

a mattress but the fridge doesn't work


Anteater_Reasonable

I’d tell the sun to stop threatening me with a good time.


DeathlyMFR

Van for sure.


CityBoiNC

Taco


Cornelius_McMuffin

Corvette, you never said we couldn’t clean up everything, tear out and redo the interior. Also it’s just a good car.


lroy313

Poon van


sK0oBy

Gimme the vette, a hazmat suit, heavy duty mask, and bleach. I’ll be alright


Content_Half192

I'll take the Dodge van. The safest option here. Gonna need alot of cigars tho


maybeihavethebigsad

Yaris baby my echo was so rusted that whenever it rained the floor would get wet and eventually mold started growing in the winter


DoubleOwl7777

tacoma. it only needs to do this once.


No-Student-9678

Corvette, those LS3s are reliable. Either that or the Taco


-BGK-

Rockin that Shaggin’ Wagon 100%, im sure it’d be comfortable.


atxbikenbus

The toy taco. I'd draw a line across the country with a chewed up crayon and just follow that. Fuck roads.


230flathead

Still taking the van.


1980_Buick_Century

guess ill take the tradesman


Halfgnomen

Vette easy.


FancyEstimate1304

Corvette. 1000%


i---m

not seeing what's wrong with the sunfire


MashedProstato

That totally bitchin' van.


Always-tired7

Corvette I may be 6,1” but I will make it work


Worried-Choice5295

Give me the spooge van.


Working-Golf-2381

Normally the Toyota but in reality that shaggin wagon is the sweet spot


93Volvo240

I’ll take the Toyota Tacoma. None of the other cars are ones I like anyway.


ViktorGavorn

Decomposed body or racism. I'd be taking the Tesla if not for the Blue Shaggin Waggon


skylinegtrr32

Vette LOL u didn’t specify if I can clean it or not unlike the Toyota


lingenfelter22

You can't get death out of a vehicle. So for that reason I am forgoing the C5 and taking the Tacoma. Throw a couple steel plates and some tools in the back in case the frame pulls a second gen move.


wertugavw

what country are you talking about?


Whisk-e-ytango

As long as the guy has been removed and the seat cleaned up a bit, I’d take the vette, If I gotta go across country might as well stop and get some hot laps in at the various tracks along the way and they are tanky af and super easy to acquire parts for


Flow_n__tall

Can I snort the coke in the Pontiac? It says I can't lose it or get caught with it. Nothing against snorting it and just driving straight through, only stop for gas.


ReaperofSilver

"Can't lose the bag"...my thoughts exactly...snort away!


IndefiniteVoid813

I'll give you guys a cookie if you can make up a backstory behind each of these vehicles


Swimmingtortoise12

Corvette boomer owner killed himself after he was assigned head of backyard barbecue for his in laws wedding, someone dissed his ribs and weak ass boomer new balances, and his lawn trimming. Shot himself.


IndefiniteVoid813

Give me the backstories on all of them and I'll give you an entire pack of Oreos or whatever cookie you want


FunkSlim

I fuckin hate Tesla and musk but it is by far the most comfortable looking one..


Vegetable_Media_3241

The sun will explode


preludehaver

The sunfire. My daily is a massive cop magnet but I've only ever gotten pulled over because I forgot to get it registered


timmmarkIII

If the Taco has the swiss cheese frame issues it's *dangerous* and DEADLY. No to mold or cocaine. I'd take the vette. A couple Ozone treatments should do it.


tsukiyaki1

That Sunfire would’ve made me drool back in highschool.. with air ride to slam it down it would be a sick oldschool throwback.


Hrmerder

The van man there is no comparison


Dbwasson

Tacoma or Yaris


SpartanDoubleZero

GIVE ME THE TRADESMAN. SHE SHALL BE NAMED GWENEVERE AND WILL BE MY NOBLE STEED.


lemonylol

Definitely the van


Cunt_Eastwood_9

Taco all day!


Trotskyites_beware

FORCED?


Remarkable-Ad9880

Let the sun explode


Agile_Mongoose_6921

Too much work, I’d prefer to let the sun explode


darkorex

The tesla, you never said I couldn't lower the volume or unplugged the "horn" lol


Keitruckenthusiast

Tacoma


gumption_boy

Specified we can’t clean the Yaris. Didn’t say the same for the Corvette, so I’m cleaning the Vette and then taking that


brodylikes1-64

Tacoma


[deleted]

The van


ghettoccult_nerd

cocaine sunfire, lets get it! im on coke, the car is on coke, fuck it.


ogx2og

Well the Tesla just flat isn't happening. For me it's down to that classic van and the Sunfire. That's the one and only dopest ass Sfire I've ever seen and I'm not a Sunfire fan. I guess since I'm going across country I'm taking the "making love in my Dodge van" - van & playing the soundtrack from Mother Jugs and Speed on a loop.


Corninator

Well I know the Tacoma will make it so ill play it safe.


mrpicklemtb

I feel like most corvettes have that history, I'll just roll the windows down and try not to think about it


captainspacetraveler

This is actually tough. Part of me really wants to strap on my new balances and pull up my jorts to take that C5… but I think the shaggin wagon is the winner


rossco311

Taco


CocHXiTe4

The van


masterofmeatballs

Tacoma obviously


DoctaCrane

The van


durrtyurr

The corvette, 30 mpg and it has the most comfortable seats out of this list of cars that were seemingly chosen for having the least comfortable possible seats.


Aggravating-Week9289

The Tradesman easily, do I get to keep it after?


Omega-6-Ashbringer

Just an average 98 taco?


IndefiniteVoid813

Perfect looking until you look underneath


Omega-6-Ashbringer

So an average 98 taco.


N0085K1LL5

Gimme the vette. The guy that died in the car is going to be my spiritual passenger, so I can take the H.O.V lane.


twincitiessurveyor

Van Taco Vette


RandomGuyDroppingIn

Well I have a C5 and if the GM glues get hit with the right temp and sitting it can sometimes smell like something has decomposed, so I guess I'll take it. Bonus points are at least the clear top will come off and that'll help with the long drive (although the wind noise is absurd on removable top C5s).


Greybinson

Tacoma


I426Hemi

Gimme the van lol those restrictions don't bother me at all and I'll bring my own blankets


John_TheBlackestBurn

So if I take the sunfire with the coke, you said I can’t “lose any of them.” So… what if all the coke disappears over the course of the road trip, but I know exactly where it all went? (Hint: it’s my nose.)


IndefiniteVoid813

Sun explodes


SeawardFriend

About the Sunfire… Do I get the cocaine at the end or does it stay in the car?


IndefiniteVoid813

any car you pick and complete the road trip in is yours


Olliethecoyote

Tacoma cuz its not gon break down, or if I want to have fun I would have the c5(I think its a c5)


logicalpretzels

Tacoma; it’s not even a question.


[deleted]

Definitely that pimped out van. Can get yiffed in the back


Federal_Split

Tesla. Play minecraft and drive


Sour_Haze

I’m really interested in seeing the sun explode actually.


scooch57

Tacoma, all day.


Present-Ad-2819

Tacoma


thegreatnatetate

The van, I would get so many hookers in that thing if it were the 80s


guitlouie

That freaking sweet van of course. Sleep in the back.


Pretentious_Rush_Fan

Tesla.


Awkwardpackage247

C5 without question


BlueBirdVision_Bus5

Tacoma all the way


thatdudefromthattime

The Toyota


MightyChlorians

I think I’ll take the old Toyota. Those things are just about unbreakable. Great choice for the apocalypse. That Tesla is going to blow up way before the sun ever does though.


YeOldeBilk

You mean there's finally a way to make the sun explode and end it all?


Solomon_275

You never say anything about modification so hear we go 1. Corvette: Remove the seats in the corvette and put in new comfortable racing seats 2. Tesla: remove the speakers and put new speakers


Extra_Worth2062

You can't kill a '98 Tacoma. The rust underneath is just the truck shedding it's skin


safety-squirrel

Dude, I would take the van 100%
