It is different. I wonder if it helps or hurts the aerodynamics? ---

It looks like a MiniVan with a PT Cruiser front end. Looks pretty good though. ---

And I’m pretty sure it’s a _stretched_ minivan. That section between the driver door and the sliding door isn’t part of the original Venture van. ---

Definitely stretched. I wonder if it is or was used as a limo? ---

That’s a whole lot of sophisticated body work for an old minivan. Why? ---

I couldn’t agree with you more Not to mention you’ve apparently mixed a mopar and a chevy . . . I imagine it took a lot of 💰 to make everything work well together. I’m thinking from an electronic perspective, here ---

I’ve seen photos of just about everything stretched including an H1. But the coolest I ever saw was the Munstermobile! ---

Bet you haven’t seen a stretch like this! ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/b/b44259e77f117d9a1a65adcb1153010d962348e8.jpg) 😉 ---

Yep, you couldn’t drive it on public roads without a permit and guide vehicles. ---

Nope, it’s real. It’s one of Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan’s oddball vehicles, which also include a Dodge Power Wagon that appears from the outside to have been built for giants: ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/f/f47734affab7b05e8b2bdcc2eb2644c9c99ecb22.jpg) but on the inside you find an entire house. And yes, it does move. Under its own power. Here’s a really old vid of Clarkson showing off some of his rides, including the Power Wagon: ---

So much time, so much money, and I can’t even get my garage cleaned up. ---

Dang. Like my Dad used to tell me- anybody can do it with money… Some pretty impressive stuff regardless.
