WE BOUGHT THE CHEAPEST VAN ON THE INTERNET! The Magnivan (Part 1)

[@waynebishop8343]

You spent 22 minutes of garbage content and wasted 22 minutes of my life on garbage content ..STOP TRYING TO BE FUNNY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT, GET TO FUCKING POINT QUICK .

[@LiftArcStudios]

Hey Wayne, we appreciate you watching the whole video! I like to let people interpret things however it strikes them so your point is valid but I'd just like to add, maybe the point of the whole thing is the journey? It's the literal ride to get to the ride. You certainly don't have to watch this again but if you did, consider the repeating themes, especially the one about taking a gamble on something, whether you're going to randomly win or lose, and most importantly how upset Tay gets about the whole thing. XOXO buddy, LAS

@@LiftArcStudios I apologize for that comment, I subscribe to a lot of channels and I think that day I watched a lot of them and a lot of channels sometimes go on because they want to get some minutes on the video, However, I really do enjoy your channel, and I am always happy when I see a new one pop up in my notifications, looking forward to watching how the new shop evolves ..sorry again.

Well, I watched the OG shop video, and that's why I subscribed. But I stayed for y'all doing sketchy stuff 😂

lol I do the same thing with the Bernzomatic. I also use brake cleaner to do it as well.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Brake cleaner is really the duct tape of flammable liquids for sure!

We absolutely concur! But also Uncle Kerry, if you win we have an excellent investment opportunity we'd like to share with you, it even comes with free bees!

[@quazorgemash]

It isn't, but it kinda is?

[@LiftArcStudios]

For a random call to adventure, Tay is definitely the guy you want to go salvage a van with you, so to that point it's still kind of on brand? We'll get to welding the thing back together eventually I promise.

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

Im all for purchases of the heart, but even my head is saying this is a bad idea after seeing it😂

Pretty sure Tay just made Will get a tattoo of this comment.

[@SixtyAte]

I whole heartedly approve of this.

[@LiftArcStudios]

You understand the call to adventure too I see!

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

I love how Will just decides, "Let's poke the literal hornets nest with the camera" after Tay gets stung lol

[@LiftArcStudios]

Listen, Tay is a more than capable, handy, and talented man, Will's only talent is putting himself in harm's way for a good shot. I bet Will wished it evened out more.

[@EyebrowsMahoney]

@LiftArcStudios 😂 ngl I enjoy Will's chaotic energy while Tay tries his hardest to stay the straight man in the situation 😄 Thanks for all you guys do!

No spoilers but wait to see what happens once try to get that thing home.

[@justinmynatt896]

I used to drive something similar to Burningman every year. It wasn't a Magnivan but every year was certainly an adventure! .... I think you should hang a chandelier in the middle! Maybe some sconces on the wall....

[@wvrockcrusher]

I don't know why, but the MAGNIVAN is going to be awesome! Just think of the tacos you could sell out this thing.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Taco truck is a great idea!

[@rileymurtagh4429]

I’m gonna assume 237 was an intentional choice and I’d like to represent my appreciation for it here in the comment section

[@WillSellari]

Riley, naturally everything any of us ever do is entirely on purpose!

[@LiftArcStudios]

If the Magnivan was, say, a haunted hotel suite, you'd know exactly what the room number would be, Riley.

[@subxject]

May be the Magnivan has diplomatic status and therefore immunity to the law for Breaking Bad scenarios. It may even be its own sovereign nation.

[@LiftArcStudios]

If it could actually go anywhere it could go wherever it wanted to for sure!

Please 🙏 don’t let the DOT stop them or the bee 🐝 hive fall apart on the way back!!

[@tjinnertube]

That’s not enough truck for this.

[@LiftArcStudios]

To be fair, no truck is enough for the Magnivan!

[@scottspropertyservices6877]

If the shirt just has a colour pencil sketch look drawing of the Magnavan you will have my money 100% guaranteed!

[@LiftArcStudios]

With an amazing prompt like that from you, even if it isn't we're still going to make you that one!

[@mkllove]

I was watching the episode announcing the move to RICT and literally suggested this about an hour or so ago... should have known you would think similarly ! You might be best off removing drivetrain anyway unless you can start it and drive it as is.. working on it in place is a huge time suck... it may not need it, but it's so much easier to remove it and fix, like a VW... If it doesn't start and run, the cores are worth more than the $300 plus gas and scratchers, and I didn't mean just the tickets.

[@theoriginalbubba1036]

Poor life choices lead to adventure! Magnavan!

[@mhks68]

You say “been” meaning past tense?!? Bitch my money on there STILL at least ONE dead body in that mf.

[@LiftArcStudios]

Oh, we definitely found dead bodies in the Magnivan later, thankfully none of the human variety though.

Don’t pat yourself on the back too hard there. A real nerd would know what kind of a wasp it was. Or was it a hornet?!?

[@LiftArcStudios]

Yeah, no one knew at first, Tay just knew he was getting stung so we just went with bees. They were definitely too mean to be bees also.

[@LiftArcStudios]

(me putting on a lab coat) Technically they were paper wasps. (winks and pushes glasses back up)

Soooo if anyone has any information on the Magnivan Diplomat III please reach out to us! We've been trying to do some research on where this thing came from and why there's barely any info on it online... Also what should we turn this thing into?

[@AnneDunning-s3c]

You have a 12,000- mile warranty.

[@AnneDunning-s3c]

Apologies for the following practicality. Your shop likely has automotive expertise as well as extreme customization ability, so I tried to understand what you truly have acquired. I suspect you have mostly acquired a chassis. Everything else is variable and adaptable in your skillset. I see 3 primary directions for you. 1) a rehab project to flip - You can do amazing thing for resale, but you cannot overcome the essence of trying to sell plasma lipstick on a 1982 pig. 2) a group playtoy for trips to lakes - You will get a good video and some fun times with this option, but the benefits will be inherently transient. 3) a serious mobile workshop - I lean toward this last option. Spike can take on a whole new scale of design and fitting of function. Tay can allocate older and less powerful equipment that usually collects dust to now create a new mobile profit center. Aaron and quiet masters of machines can specify power requirements and a modern power system for a state-of-the-art capacity enabler. Green energy? The Magic Magnivan will serve both as a workhorse and a business showpiece. I hope you move in the direction of a variant of the third category.

[@AnneDunning-s3c]

I just saw an eBay listing for a brochure with specs for your Magnivan. You can find it listed as, "EXECUTIVE INDUSTRIES MAGNIVAN Diplomat III 1982 Camper dealer brochure"

Thank you for sticking in there and going on the journey with us! Part 2 will hopefully be out in a week or two.
