We're alive. We're alive and alive. Even though I sound like crap, so I just got to

fly. Welcome. Smoking tire podcasts. Yep. Yep. Hello. We got a... Well, we were going

to have a guest last week, but some mechanical issues prevented that. So we rambled about ourselves

for 90 minutes. And he's actually here today, which is great. So thank God for Volkswagen

reliability. Ben, combilife.com. Welcome. Your last name is jammin' with N jammin'. Ben jammin'.

Ben jammin. I love it. And you certainly have been. That's too bad. So this dude emails me.

He's like, I'm driving a Volkswagen combi van, which is a micro bus from Chile to Alaska.

And I go, well, that sounds terrible. But any man who's willing to do that is a good man.

So how did that come about? Well, I was basically traveling anyway. And I got to South America.

And I got fed up of taking day-long bus drives, which cost over $100 and sleeping in dorm rooms

with people snoring. So I bought a bus. Yeah. It's a sane decision. Can I have a boat?

Can I have a boat? You bought the bus for it down there because we were talking about this earlier.

Yeah, I paid probably just over $2,000 for it. What is it? It's in South America. They made

these quite a lot. In fact, they made them until like last year in Brazil. So like, what year is that one?

Mine is actually 92. Wow. That said, it has parts on it from every decade from the 50s up to 90s down.

And that's the other reason why I'm here is because everything will fit. Sort of. I mean, it was that easy.

Yeah. As we've learned with my Mustang, bolt-on is never quite bolt-on.

But you know what? I'll take that over to nothing when you're in the middle of South America.

That's probably true. I mean, I suppose you can find parts for that thing all over the place, right?

Somewhere or you can make them down there pretty much. Oh, can you find a man in a shed who can lend you a welder and you can make shit?
