WOW.
Seriously?

So they took a TDI out, to butcher the van with that raised engine lid
"beast"?
Then gutted the interior and built "that".
And seriously on the RTV, i've caulked bathrooms with less!

If he threw $18,000 at that job, he threw away $18000.
This is an inspirational ad. I wouldn't offer much more than $2500 for that,
and even then, i'd have to think seriously about it. (and likely part it
out).
