Fake S.W.A.T. Van and Other Weird Stuff I See Driving To Work

Tonka Truck HummerI drive north on college from downtown everyday on the way to work on the north side. And every day I pass this cool fake S.W.A.T. van (which appears to be an old delivery van repainted) that's usually parked on the street near the intersection of 49th Street and College Avenue. And everyday, I think, "That's cool. I wish I could drive around in a fake S.W.A.T. van."

When we lived in Bloomington I would see this delivery car dressed up like a cop car in the mornings on my way into campus... but it wasn't a cop car. It belonged to a pizza joint -The Monroe County Pizza Department. They used it for their deliveries/promotions. I'll try to get a picture of it next time I'm down there (if they are still open).

That tonka truck hummer is some super-rich guy that lives in the most amazing house I have ever seen in Carmel. He lives in a neighborhood between 96 & 116th on Ditch Road... all the cars he has are amazing. This doesn't include the palm trees inside his house... absolutely crazy. But, I'm glad someone else finally saw this thing!!! LOL

Alas, the Fake S.W.A.T. Van is no more. They painted over the lettering on the side of the van with white paint. On the back of the truck, the lettering has been painted over with a really poor stencil advertising "Mondo Monday - May 23" whatever that means. Sigh. Like the sad death of Atlas, another Indy oddity bites the dust.
