This Chevrolet Astro With a Turf Carpet Is A Bad Pun on Wheels
This Chevrolet Astro With a Turf Carpet Is A Bad Pun on Wheels-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:47

Car puns. . Usually the puns are just a few words typed onto an internet website, but one Chevrolet Astro owner decided to build an actual, physical pun using a little bit of turf.

Found is a 1998 Chevrolet Astro, a vehicle with an unkillable 4.3-liter 90 degree V6 and a decent 4L60E four-speed automatic. Despite its robust powertrain, it appears that this particular Astro has suffered some sort of crash, as seen in the blurry photo in the listing:

But rather than let this apparently great-running Astro succumb to the evils of the junkyard crusher, the owner turned it into an awesome rat-rod by chopping its roof off, adding a custom windshield, removing much of the interior, and laying down some turf.

! Get it? Folks, I’ll be here all week.

At $5,500 Canadian, Could You Find Common Ground With This Custom 1985 Chevy S10 Pickup?
Today’s Chevy S10 is a border-spanning custom that could very well bring Canada and the U.S. closer together. Let’s see if it also comes with just as diplomatic a price tag. Italy has been an auto-producing nation for almost 120 years. The country’s first series-production car, the 1899 Fiat...

At $1,700, Could This Somewhat Rough 1998 Volvo V70 Still Make A Good ‘R’-gument?
When it comes to cars, you don’t have to be pretty if you’re pretty damn quick. Today’s V70R is aesthetically challenged but still looks like it’s got some get up and go left in it. Let’s see if this sporty wagon’s price ensures it will sell fast too. Canada...
