This made the front page of reddit the week before last (see here) and I'm glad he took the time to make such a detailed post of his project!  The original Imgur link at the bottom of that Chive page includes all his commentary for the pictures as well, which is pretty dang helpful.  Here is his YouTube channel and Instagram, too!

I wonder how much ad revenue Chive is getting for ahem "sharing" cough cough this guys pictures?

Hadn't seen the reddit post, I try and give credit to where I 'borrow' pictures from. I suspect Chive does not share a lot. They do do good charitable work but some of their pictures are from years ago.

Haha, no problems Gunny. It's the business model of the content scraping business like Chive, wimp and other pop culture link sites - find popular user submitted content, and re-share it with catchy headlines, a little commentary, and paid advertisements.  I'm glad that Chive does something nice with some of the proceeds, I had no idea!  I see their bumper stickers from time to time on people's cars, too!

I just figured this van-wilder character deserved a little shout out for his work is all, he did such a nice job with his ride!  Van posts that make the front page of reddit get a lot of flak in general.  You can imagine the average consumer-minded, culturally indoctrinated masses of video-gaming, Cheetos munching goons when confronted with such an affront to their better sensibilities tend to get a just a wee bit touchy!

I get a kick out of the comments.
Some people just don't get it
