I really dislike how fetishized and exploitative van culture has become (just searching "van" on youtube will produce ungodly amounts of clickbait thumbnails with oops I forgot to put on a bra ladies posed in truly ridiculous circumstances) [side note: this is less about van culture and more about attention culture, but I digress] but I really enjoyed this:

Those headlights and bumper are awful. I don't hate it overall, but yeah, they're awful.
