I only have strange stuff. I have my, I just, I just got, I sold that. I did, I got a lot of money for it. I gave half the money to charity. Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah. We paid it. We paid an animal shelters rent for a year. Oh, that's a shout out to Peter Zippy fund if you want a kitten in the South Bay. I just got me and my wife just got a 1991 Mitsubishi Delica, which is a Japanese import van. Oh, and it's a turbo diesel. It's a four by four and it's a six passenger. It has like swiveling captain's chairs and it's just the coolest thing ever. There it is. Whoa. Look at that. Look at that. And it is, it's like a space van. Dude back in the day, that was the shit. Yeah. Mine's got 40,000 kilometers on it. It's like 22,000 miles and I'm using it as the airport shuttle for my, for my shop. That's very like, that's what we thought of as a car from the future in the space fan. Like if you were living in the eighties, remember when, what, I want to know what the fuck happened to custom vans. Like now custom vans are a new thing. So now custom vans have gone two directions on the one direction you've got your, the private jet vans, right? The Lexani, like you see fucking Tyreese rolling and rolling around in right where they make it kind of look like a private jet interior with the sprinters. And then you've got your overland vans, like your sports mobiles and your camping type rigs, your off-roading rigs. So they split, they don't do the cool shag carpet. Let's fuck anymore. They don't have, there's a magazine called rolling heavy magazine that is a enthusiast magazine for that kind of man. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. Yeah. Vans are still, they're cool with a certain subculture. Those Volkswagen synchros, the four by four Volkswagen vans from the eighties are worth a ton of money. Like 50 grand. Yeah. They're worth a lot of money. And they're various when they take those bugs, those, uh, beat those, those, this, what is the station wagon? The VW bus. Yeah. And they put Porsche engines in them. You ever see them guys racing? Yeah. They put, they take the old vans from the sixties and seventies, the classic Volkswagen microbus. Yeah. And then you, they basically graft on a Porsche floor plan to it with a Porsche engine, which will fit Porsche suspension. And they go fast as fuck. Dude, they race some things in Germany. Can you pull up anything? There you go. I want to see one of those. At Hockenheim. Look, this dude's just straight. Look, this guy's following a Ferrari down the front straight. Oh my God. This guy's mobbing and he chopped the roof, right? He's, he's, he's lowered it. If you can get some in car video of one of these guys driving, it's like bananas. What a crazy little vehicle. Yeah. There's other ones that are even, even nuttier and, uh, oh, there you go. Closeups. Um, they're just crazy. Some of these Volkswagen guys are, oh wow, he's really using the whole course there. Good for him. So that's a 900, 530 horsepower Porsche 993 race taxi. Oh, how cool. He's got a Gabriel Iglesias. Is fluffy a fucking van enthusiast? Jesus Christ. Bro. What are you doing? Fluffy. Whoa. Fluffy's garage is fucking sick, dude. This is real fucking museum. I just stumbled across it. This is Long Beach. This is here? How have we never heard of this? Bro. This is a real thing. This is a real thing. Look at this. Wow. He must have really loved these things growing up. That's hysterical. That is crazy. How many does he have? A lot. Well, that orange and red is fantastic. Those are beautiful. That's really nice. I had no idea Fluffy was a VW bus enthusiast. Oh, we've got to get him in one of these. How strange is that? People that are into those are really, really into those. Seinfeld's got a few of them too. Look how many he has. Three million dollar bus collection. That is bananas. Yeah. They sell those. If you want the 21 window they call it or the 23 window, that's where it's got the extra windows on the roof. The total number of windows normally is like 17 or whatever, but the 21 windows and the 23 windows are like 100 to $150,000. What? Yeah. Wow. Just because they're rare and nostalgic. Dude, look how beautiful he has these things restored. Yeah. You ever drive one? Oh my God, no. The worst. They drive like shit. They drive like fucking garbage. So do you think he has everything stock or do you think he has everything juiced up? I don't know. I mean, an enthusiast, I didn't realize he was so serious about those, but I'm sure he's got a nice variety of them. He's got Jay driving. Jay knows his shit, man. I had a real fun day hanging out with Jay doing his show. He knows his shit. He's a good dude. Yeah, I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.
