It looks like an Astro Van. Boy am I gonna get chewed out for this one by Mr. Defender. :)

Ever since I first heard of them I've affectionally referred to them as urinevans... I say aye. and Aye says I.

I have seen one (At a show) with the license plate MY OVAN

I thought that was cute. =) As for what they look like... We could call them pathetic american minivans, but that wouldn't be fair. Just 'cause they don't look VW doesn't mean they don't act VW.
