The weekend Kiddie-(SWAT)mobile >>>

Recently sold the Escalade ESV and picked up this Sprinter low roof 144" WB for weekend/road-trip duties. Much like everyone on 6spd modding never stops, so being that Im still shopping around for the next toy, the Sprinter by default becomes the object of wasteful spending Went with a blacked out theme like my old 993tt.

Did the MB grille/badging conv, blk running boards, alloys were swapped with the OEM black steelies, and tinted out the drvr & pass windows to match the rear privacy glass. I had the unsightly gray roof top rear ac unit wrapped in matte black and just recently added the MB visor over the front windshield. Up next is ICE.

All in all we are loving the Sprinter! It def turns heads is very comfortable and is also perfect for transporting the kids and the grandparents. We're short, so we can stand and walk upright in this thing.

I don’t think there is another vehicle that is capable of moving up to 12 people comfortably and with style (only wish a 4x4 model was avail like in other countries). Its a MB Turbo Diesel and fuel economy is surprisingly good @ ~25+ mpg. Now my kids dont want to ride in anything but the "bus" as they call it.














At the vineyard for picnic & some wine tasting


Cheers!
