You may not be able to have a VW 'California' in the US but check out what it actually takes to legally import a car over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HvgkdVPfaQ

A VW camper, called the California, reviewed in California, parked alongside other Californias in California, not available in California. Beautiful.
-
when he pulled out the table and two chairs out of the body panels, my mind was blown!

My old man bought one of the original versions of these round about 1980. Most parents don't think too much about their kids when making vehicle purchase decisions, beyond the usual safety issues. But this made the best god damn playhouse a kid could ever hope for, even when it's just sitting in your driveway. Some of my best, earliest childhood memories involved one of these. Apparently they're coming out with an EV version in 2025. Sure hope they make it available stateside.

I’ve got a 18 year old version of the California . And it still seems like a modern van .Its exactly the same interior as this newer model apart from a couple of twists .

This van is better furnished than my apartment...
-
Pretty savage of VW to name it after a place where they aren't selling it 😂
-
I can't believe I watched this whole video, excitedly waiting to find out what it's going for, without reading the description leading me to be immeasurably let down when Torchy mentioned at the very end that it's not available in the USA.
-
fake taxi is gonna be lit after this
-
I never expected to see that much stuff in such a small van.
-
One of the best reviews ever! Funny but concise. Top job!
-
Very nice
-
I inquired about one of these. When the guy told me the price, I told him I wanted to to buy the California camper van, and not the State of California. He gave me a chuckle, but I could tell he was just being polite.
-
Damn I was considering buying one myself but then he abruptly crushes my dream at the end. fuuuuu lol
-
We camped 5 weeks with 2 kids(7and10) in a 1961 VW van very bare bones.actually no nothing.To Mexico 9oo miles south to a beach.The new van is a dream come true,so interesting to watch your video.Thanks from Canada

I just found your channel. Just wanted to say thank y’all for making really neat videos so nice to see y’all having so much fun showing everyone what y’all have found. The cheapest car 🚗 video was very good. It’s amazing how much went to in to making that little car but for a family that may be the only way to get around. Thank again 👍

'My mom didn't raise an animal' and climbs into a closet 🤣🤣😂😂
-
I as so happy when I saw "California" but then crushed when I found out I can't get one here in California....
-
Great enthusiasm! Talking about things that fold out, collapse in, etc. .... crazy idea: Retractable or "pop up" wind turbines. Most cars are camped (parked) about 22 hours a day, and can generate electro all that time. :)
