I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

-David Bowie "Oh! You Pretty Things"

DIY Turtle Van

If you're anything like me, then you wish that you owned the Turtle Van that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used in the original cartoon. A 23-year old woman named Britney Schneck has used her automobile detailing skills to transform 1 '94 Caravan into her own personal Turtle Van. I'm super jealous.


Here is a before and after picture of the Caravan and the Turtle Van.



And finally a comparison between the toy Turtle Van and the full-sized Turtle Van.


So far as I'm able to track it, the original story was posted on CarDomain and can be read here. Jalopnik and Slashfilm retell the story here and here.
