4 жыл бұрын

The Volkswagen Vanagon T3 Westfalia is more than just a regular car. So it's fitting that we take an approach to a vehicle that has offered a different experience than any car, motorcycle, truck or van we've ever done for Regular Car Reviews. Sure, RCR has done plenty of weird car reviews, and plenty of sentimental car reviews. But nothing like this piece of rolling romanticism, a van that's a poem to nostalgia, and to the ways in which cars can shape us. Because a car is almost like art. And the Volkswagen Vanagon T3 Westfalia is almost like home.
This is the Regular Car Reviews 2020 Special: a look into the history of a camper van that aspired to be more than the family vehicle, more than an automotive footnote, and more than just a memory. Enjoy.

Ok, this made me cry. Not just by how well-made this is, but... ...the moment you realize that your dad isn't some guy that "thinks he knows everything and naggs you everyday" but he's just like you! He make ends meet, he lives and survives in the same way you do, with the tomorrow's uncertainty knocking at the door. And there's a moment in your life that... you become him! You get on his shoes and then, you have a cathartic experience where you see yourself in your child, where you stand where your dad (or mom) stood, telling about life and how difficulty and wild it is. This moment is where moments, and cars, like this become essential parts of your life - building who you are and what you'll be. This is life. Live it now!

Very well spoken and a lovely comment. This video hit home sort of. I never really had a father. It made growing up difficult. Although this being said I still had great memories, and had some male figures to look up to. I hope to become a great father who is understanding, funny, and firm. Although the lack of a father this video still had a feeling of nostalgia.

this hit way too close to home in tears right now, my father recently died this year and i always knew him as that. he was just like me living his life and always afraid of what tomorrow will bring. thank you for reminding me that although my dad was dead-beat and had many problems he still survived and he wanted to make his life an example of what not to do. he would always be honest and real with me because he knew that i understood his problems i would never know the severity of them after he passed but he still held on for the worst and he would never give up. he would always tell me "me caigo mil veces, pero me paro mil y una veces" meaning that he would fall 1000 times but he would stand up 1001 times. he will always be in my and his family's hearts and be remembered as the good person he still was despite his many crises

As someone who attended a Waldorf school, in the 90s, where Wesfalias loaded with Ralph Nader bumper stickers were driven by most parents, I feel moderately attacked by this. lol Those things were the soccer mom vans for those mid-30/early 40s Boomers still living out the good ol' days of the 60s.

I recently took on a VW T3 that was gifted to us by family friends. I never had childhood experiences in a camper, just in a towed caravan, pulled by my dads Land Rover Defender. But upon seeing the T3, it definitely has that nostalgic homely feeling about it. Even despite not having childhood memories associated directly with it. Hopefully I can form some happy memories with this old girl.

Glad to finally see one of my family cars get reviewed. Helped my dad replace the pushrod tube gaskets on a '81 westfalia. When we put the valve rocker arms back on it was burning oil, smoke everywhere. So we called *his* dad up, and Poppy told us to not put 4 turns on the rocker arms, like the compleat guide said, but to only put 2 turns on 'em, since we were putting the old ones back on instead of putting in new ones. Ran fine after that.

This is the deepest thing i've seen since Bojack season 6. Literally a tear jerker. It's a shame we keep finding ourselves repeating history with our own children, being distant, not understanding, always short and busy. You and your parents are a little older than me and mine. I didn't grow up with station wagons and Westphalia vans, just pickup trucks. So we gave in to our own personal nostalgia and bought the same model truck that my dad had. We take our kids fishing and hunting in the same spots trying to relive dead history, trying to get the good times back. To all of you who are making the same mistakes as us, stop living in the past it's gone. Your kids are here now and they won't be kids for long. Appreciate them for what they are before they turn into you.

Yeah. Somehow seems antithetical to the whole idea of living a "free and easy" hippie lifestyle.

If kids want to live a great experience, just get a cheap Dodge Caravan, remove the back seats, put a bed in it. And don't spend your time posting about it on Instagram.

I'll be honest - this video cut deep. I've never had that romantic connection with my parents, especially my father, who although is a car guy has a very different taste than me and we rarely share our thoughts when it comes to cars or motorcycles for that matter. The fact that your own parent doesn't at least notice that you're trying to improve yourself when it comes to your hobby - hurts, it hurts alot. Some days more than others but it's an ever lasting numb pain that you learn to live with. This video underlines the fact that cars are more than just objects that take you from A to B, they're rolling art. This just made my day just a little bit better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Cars are, in a very real way, a means both of transportation and, for some, a means of expression. The important thing is to understand that one's appreciation for cars, much like for more traditional forms of art, is invariably subjective. Everyone has their own values regarding the aesthetic they prefer, and the best thing to do is acknowledge that your preferences may not align, but to want to know what it is that the other party values and appreciates about the things they like. That is the best way to appreciate art. Not focusing solely on the things that make an innate sort of sense to you because its aesthetic aligns with your preferences, but to learn how to appreciate the other because you know why people like it.

Damn. You guys did great with this one. Content AND quality! One of the things I love about RCR is the little bits of feeling poking through the humor, capturing the subject vehicle's place in history and the lives of the people who drove or still drive them. In this, that feeling was like a stadium light. Cars are art. Cars are wheeled capsules of memories, sometimes so much so that they stop being a car and start being a character. It's why some people seek out cars that, out of the context of their era, are completely undesirable and all but forgotten. Well done!

I grew up going on vacation on one of these many times a year. It feels like in my country everybody swapped the engines with subaru ones. Never seemed to overheat and could easily hit 100kph pretty fast. I think we went as fast as 130+ kph and the car is not designed to go that fast. Everything inside starts to shake and rattle. You take a modern car to 160 kph and nothing happens. You take this to similar speeds it's like you're in an action movie rocketing down to a planet with a space station breaking up all around you. This is the pinnacle of what a car can be for me. The least amount of space for the max amount of comfort. You could sleep 6 people in one of these if you wanted. All for the exact same parking space real estate of a Honda Odyssey. They can't be beat.

The mention of vans as kids reminds me of getting up at 5am every Saturday to get in my mom's shitbox 300,000 mile Honda Odyssey to go to work at the farmers market for our farm. I realize the moments of morning silence and serenity, on the way there, the ones that last before a 5-hour storm of gentrifying snobby white people to ask about egg prices will be moments that I will cherish 20 years from now. When a 2005 white Honda Odyssey conjures up the same feelings as this video.

Mr regular, this video hit me HARD in the feels, and for many reasons. I barely know by biological father as my mother hid me and cut contact with him and for good reason as he was and still is an alcoholic drug addicted semi driver, so because of it my grandfather and grandmother (who we still live with) took me under their wing and helped raise me. He was and still is an avid sportsman and has taught me most of the things I know about fishing and engines. I knew from the first time my school held a father-son day that I was different as everyone else’s dad was younger than my grandfather, but there was something special about our relationship. We shared the same moments, had just as many funny moments as anyone else would have had with their dad except he was slightly older than everyone else. And despite him and me being almost 41 years apart from each other, we get along like we were brothers. He drives an 09’ Chevy 2500hd gasser which he still has today, and since now that I have my permit I taxi him around. What I’m saying is since he bought that truck 5 years ago it was a sign that all the hell we went through was worth it, and when I start that truck up and hear it’s Lopey and pissed off idle, I think about the moments we shared over the years and what’s to come in the future, and that life doesn’t matter about age or wealth or your social standing, it just matters if you don’t regret what you did all those years ago and if you had fun through it all.
