  1. Ok now that is warped .. and come on.. duct tape? Everyone knows we use super glue and screws now. 😉

  2. Love it, especially having watched those custom shop shows on TV. We’re selling our van, but it’s clean—after three days of detailing!

  3. You’ve gotta love the fry guys! I can live with most juice spilled smells, a few scratches here and there from the kids riding their bikes too closely past the van and leaving their war-scar and even the contstant reminder of the pencils, hair clips and books, but those stinkin french fries tucked in every seat, especially the boosters, kill me! And the funny thing is that they never spoil! When we retired our last van, that poor girl was good for nothing except being smashed into a little medal cube and buried in a super-sized fry container.

  4. Oh, I wouldn’t be caught DEAD driving something that messy. I am a clean freak. But the video is pretty entertaining.

  5. try as we might-it does happen. Baseballs and hot wheels will also make great sounds around every corner.

  6. If you like home makeovers redneck style check out the “Red Green Show.” I saw him make a hot tub out of an old washing machine. Hillarious!!!

  7. The day before we were to trade in our van, our cat got left in the van over night and did his business on the front seat! We live in the south were the temps were over 100 for about a week. The cat pee just sat in there and baked overnight. You just about threw up just by opening the door! That smell was on top of all the milk, fries, pop, dirty tennis shoes, swimwear that got left in, and just 5 years of muck and 4 kiddos! Good Times!! I Wouldn’t trade them for anything!

  8. I could COMPLETELY relate to this since I just cleaned up a lemonade spill in my van and found lots of “treasures”. LOL

  9. Oh please Deb, didn’t you notice the “duct tape fix” done by her man? Equally insulting, and very humorous.

  10. That was funny. I had a van just like that except the trash. I do make the kids clean that out on saterday’s. Thanks for the funny

  11. This was EXTREMELY painful to watch because of the reality of the mess-ups. Like Scott, I hate the fries in the seats. And the noise from stuff rolling around when I drive makes me CRAZY!

  12. No, not an insult, a tribute to what moms have to put up with. These things wouldn’t have been done by moms, that’s what kids are for.

  13. Okay, I loved it. I don’t keep my van this dirty, but it definitely has some wear on it from all my kids. I can relate! Please get rid of the Zima’s!!!

  14. You forgot writing on the back of the seats with an ink pen. My daughter did that all over the back of the headrests!!!

  15. I knew it! That’s what happened to my van! Um yeah, they came and got it. But they forgot the stickers on the windows too.

  16. OMGSH!..I laughed my ass off!! except for the dents and the duct tape, that’s exactly what my van looks like! uuuggg!
