1982 Econoline Van Sitting 10 years Will It Run And Drive Home? NNKH

[@corydriver7634]

YES! NNKH rides a skateboard to an abandoned Econoline with a backpack full of tools and gets it running and rolling! Who else does this? Love this video.

[@claztube]

I had to ⏸ the video at the under construction WAWA scene. My jaw as this brave man has been giving us one heck of a ride on that board all the while narrating, filming and of course not falling... ...and then @corydriver7634 said what I wanted to say so I'll give a 👍to this comment...

Chris, I have to thank you for your enthusiasm and positive spirit. I always look forward to your videos (and Jen’s too!) because I know even if they’re a mixed bag of drone shots, checking out old buildings, working on the car a bit, whatever-the consistent part is you. You always keep your energy up, see the good parts of every old vehicle, keep the repairs simple and to the point, and do it all with a smile. Thank you for sharing that with all of us; it’s truly been a help for years and I hope I can come buy you a beer one of these days!

Looks like a newer black powder. I used to drive one of those vans in 1977 for work. My friends father and his brother did van conversions in the early 1970's, early 80's. Southwest Van Artist, Chula Vista< CA. Just south of San Diego. I helped sometimes. I did interior paneling. They also did custom paint, murals, Magazine quality. See, I,m sorta like you, jumping all over the place. :).... Your a lot braver or crazier than me to drive that thing. Be safe man, a good video ain't worth getting killed for.

By the foundation and a few un ruined interior clews; the house was built before the 1880s' [the two cellar walls materials]. It was raised on brick foundations, a style favoured in the 1880s, and 'updated' to then. The next 'fix' was circa 1970, and here is where it still is in 2014. I would think the 'local rabble' has been thru the place ,'like Grant thru Richmond'.

It was an absolutely perfect moment, almost as if the universe itself had conspired for those notes to be played.

Every key, every chord felt like an explosion of feelings, as if the piano were speaking directly to my heart, with all its softness and delicacy. It’s the kind of thing you hear and think, “How did someone manage to create something so wonderful, so sublime?” Seriously, it was as if time had stopped, everything around me dissolving, and only that flawless melody remained, transcending everything!

[@jesseleesamples]

I love the flying by the seat-of-the-pants style to these videos. I often end up doing things like that too. I always come prepared, but without a rigid plan, or nearly any plan, of what I’m going to be doing, for how long, or where I’m going to end up at the end of the day. Those are my favorite kind of days so I think that’s why I enjoy watching someone else get to do that too. Sometimes you must plan your day out and be punctual, and those days can suck. I’d much rather go try to start some old junk I know nothing about, explore an abandoned house and property, ride around an unfamiliar town, try some new bug spray, and any other randomness I happen to fall into doing. Chris actually kinda inspires me to do this kind of stuff and to just be open to adventure and cool experiences all the time. I always enjoy the automotive or mechanical content, but I might love the random tangents and adventures even more.
