It is a Ford e-transit. Huge white empty sides. I will implement my favorite idea without fail.

It's for transporting my disabled mother around, but also for personal use. (I am too tall for normal cars so this will be my only vehicle)

Definitely make it an airbrushed wizard van!

Or even better a Warlock van

Saw a pickup some time ago where the person had painted on an epic scene of a wizard battling a dragon on their tailgate. Really well done, beautiful epic high fantasy chiaroscuro painting. I wish I could have taken a photo but...driving.

Hey, Indestructible Aura. The card that is neither an aura, nor does it grant indestructible.

It does, however, make me think “Hell yeah, brother” every time I see the art, which is ideal for painting on a van.

Put this fella on the side of your van

[–] CrazyLikeGollum@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I kind of want a Subaru Baja with that on the doors.

Some kind of innocuous but official sounding government agency.

Department of the Interior Development or something… liberally apply reflective striped tape in random spots, toss a yellow light-bar on top… you know, make it look official.

Now enjoy parking anywhere for extended periods of time.

Or just copy any of Krieger‘s vans from the show Archer. 

[–] Kcap@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I like this, some made up meaningless inefficient chaotic bullshit, maybe call it Department of Government Efficiency 🤷

Go out and paint bike lanes, encouraging cycling means less traffic for your van.

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’m going to switch my vote to the hybrid approach; paint the van to look like a bike lane, then you can park in any bike lane. Plus it’s just taping off two stripes and hitting it with a can of driveway crack filler.

"Starry night" on one side, "the scream" on the other. But only if you can get the number plate "Van Go".

I particularly love Vanispheres, although the title album is pretty great too.

[–] CephaloSquad@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago

That would be hilarious!

[–] orvorn@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago

Hire a local artist to do a mural!

Put your disabled mother on the side of the van but with her face painted into famous scenes from the history of film. Your mom as Tony Montana wielding an assault rifle, your mom as the Big Lebowski holding a white russian, your mom as Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2 doing pull-ups, your mom as Robocop shooting off a guy's dick, your mom as Nosferatu emerging from the shadows, the possibilities are endless.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year ago

It belongs in a museum.

[–] zvendo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

a picture of that van. I'd do it
