“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 372

I’m just feeling very random today.

“Vintage Tiny Home on Wheels – 1976 GMC Motorhome Tour”.

I really like that form factor in a RV. I also like the fact that it has an internal shower and toilet. They don’t make these any more, but I think if i was going to adopt the RV lifestyle, I’d look for something similar to this.

Random related crankery: the GMC motorhome was also the basis for Mack Bolan’s “War Wagon” in the “Executioner” books.

Bonus #1: We did “Worker and Parasite” earlier. How about the American response?

“It’s Everybody’s Business”, a 1954 film from the US Chamber of Commerce.

Bonus #2: trolling, trolling, trolling, got to keep on trolling…

“Flugzeuge am Haken” from 1969, featuring the favorite plane of Lawrence, RoadRich, and WCD. (Yes, it is dangerously close to military history, and in German. But it’s less than three minutes long.)

Bonus #3: I swear that early in the life of this blog, I posted someone’s blog entry about their purchase of a fire truck, and what to look for when you’re buying a used fire truck. But I can’t find that post now.

“I BOUGHT A Legit FIRETRUCK From The Fire Department”.

You know, $3,000 is almost in my price range, if I wanted to mess around in a used fire truck. Then again, my local gun shop has a nice Colt Combat Commander modified by Clark Custom for $2,500, and I wouldn’t have to worry about parking the .45.

    RV? Oh, you mean the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle.

    Stripes https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083131/

    You’re absolutely right, Ygolonac, and I had forgotten that.

    I haven’t seen “Stripes” in (mumble mumble) years. And looking at IMDB, wow, what a cast.

    That might be one that’s up for a re-watch…

    I always wanted one after seeing Stripes back when it first released. (Double0-bill with Belushi’s Continental Divide, which was pretty forgettable.)

    However, I’d be willing to give up the swank interior, luxobarge suspension, standing room, and mileage to get something even more fun.

    A BTR-90 is a perfectly fine daily driver.

    “Excuse me, could you shift your Hummer/brotruck over a little? I don’t want to get it stuck in my undercarriage…”

    (Also, the street hobos will be less likely to try and strip the exterior while it’s parked. Communist Party Wagon for the win!)
