    It is possible to beef up and fortify the stock engine in every vehicle, and I believe that's what I did with the pimpmobile van; I was able to get this van close to 160 MPH with the nitrous engaged!

    Unfortunately, this version came with an autotragic transmission... :ballchain:

    I swapped in a 5-speed stick, but even BeamNG.drive isn't detailed enough to show a transmission swap, so I went back to the 4-speed auto (I cannot remember if the clutch pedal seen here was from me doing a manual swap); I did end up swapping the base 1.8L for a bigger 2.0L used in higher-end Ibishu Covets, and this car wasn't as slow as I thought it would be with either engine!

    It's obvious that they used the the tandem-axle trailer as the template for the "bed"...

    With a fortified and nitrous-injected 2.0L under the hood, I got this thing to impressive speeds!
