Heh. We did have, at one point, a Ford conversion van called "The Texan". Two console chairs in the middle, fold out bench seat in the very back, carpeted from floor to ceiling, small television in the back, CB radio (my dad's handle was "the Polish Tortilla"). I remember seeing Mary Lou Retton's perfect ten while driving down I-10 about halfway between Houston and San Antonio.
This was, of course, in the middle of the oil boom. Thing must have sucked gas. Had two tanks. It was replaced by an Astro mini-van when the oil markets busted, which sadly was the car that I ended up driving when I turned 16.
