THIS VW VAN IS LIKELY TO BREAK DOWN AND CATCH ON FIRE: But it’s a GREAT STORY, so WHO CARES?!!! Check this out…8 years ago, a then-16-year-old Kyle Cropsey from Lindenhurst, New York, slips a note inside the window of a blue 1971 Volkswagen van that he coveted, referring to it as his “future car.” Now 23, Kyle got a call from Chris Mead of Oakland, California, who explained that he was going through the belongings of his late father, who owned the van, and found the note. So Chris says to Kyle that he’ll give him the van on the condition that he restores it and goes on plenty of adventures. So now Kyle is the proud owner of a VW van named Matilda…which is likely to break down and catch on fire before he even gets it, but what a great story!!
