Jackal transportation is a crucial component of float trips and usually a great time in its own right. With the creeper van currently out of commission I have been keeping my eyes open for viable alternatives. These are two of the vehicles that are going up for public auction where I work. The question is which one would make for a more exciting ride? Each have their own unique brand of awesomeness about them. The first is the Ford club wagon. It comes complete with three rows of seating and cargo room in the back. It is a stylish red and equipped with student organization logos which are sure to attract the unsuspecting teen.
The next option is a 1985 Chevy 30 mini bus. Recommissioned as a construction transportation unit it was used to haul students and tools to the job site. It has four rows of seating with cargo area in the rear. Comes equipped with flashing lights and a three speed fan for the driver. Taken out of commission three years ago it is craving a new owner and the open road.
We want to get your feedback on these two options. Please comment below. Remember, we are just a short seven months from float season.
This is a tough call. On one hand you have the sleek body and plush interior of the club wagon which is sure to yield a conforting ride. On the other side you have ruggedness and durability of the gorrilla like power of the mini bus. The pull down windows are certainly an added plus for ventilation and bodily fluid ejections. We need to compare fuel economy and mileage on engines, but as of now my vote is on the Club Wagon.
