Man, I grew up flying stuff like that.  My dad was a freeflight, ukie, and R/C flyer starting in the late '40s.  He was active and influential all through the '50s, '60s, and '70s.  He kept flying R/C until his death in 1996.

Not my father in the pic, but it is his airplane.  It was originally orange and white.  1.8x Aeromaster he built from scratch:

YEah, one of my best friends just turned in his Polutowagen Passat Wagon TDI with a manual.  I told him, take the payout, get it flashed then use some of the money for a performance tune and have some real fun.  The car was mint for it's age and miles.  It's now been replaced by a year old PAcifica :(

When I hear Chris Kraft, I think mission control.

I really, really try to live and let live when it comes to automotive fun, but those cars, as well as grossly lifted trucks and cars or bikes with straight pipes just make me angry.  Da Man is always looking or an excuse to add more legislation to prevent any sort of modification, and this E36 M3 just gives them a good one.  "These guys are obviously too stupid to know what they are doing is wrong, so we need to write laws."

Mine was a little late for that party, but the 11mm injector pump and larger nozzles make the daily drive a lot more enjoyable...they swapped it for a Pacifica?? There are reason why they say drugs are bad..

Something didn't quite look ... right. But I couldn't tell until I clicked on the ad. I actually think it looks kind of good.

At least it has a tittle.

Why an Econoline chassis?  I wonder how hard it is to get to the back plugs?

Speaking of Econolines, there is an Econoline reference in a They Might Be Giants song, The Mesopotamians:
