Oh my goodness, my father loved those things. He'd own one today if they weren't so darn expensive. He served in the Navy during the 60s' and was one of those guys that thought it was so cool to see the Nasa astronauts transported in those things. Victim of branding! haha But... He had to have one. Now, he over that and uses some off brand. ha!

For some reason, I've always thought Airstreams were cool. I guess it's kind of a "retro" Americana thing. I seriously doubt I'll ever own any kind of RV or camper, but if I did, it would be an Airstream.

We've only been out camping 1x in the 9 years I've owned them. My wife likes nice hotels.
I received numerous letters and visits from the city because neighbors have complained about people living in them which is total BS.
I own both properties and they are being stored.
I was able to squeeze my 4th (1967 20' Globetrotter) in our back yard which i will use as guestroom 2x per year but there's no way anyone can see it.
People have nothing better to do than fuck with other peoples business. The city doesn't bother harassing me anymore.

you own 4 airstreams but don't go camping. That's fantastic.

Let me get this straight Groov... you own the two houses in the picture, but make guests stay in the old 1967 Airstream? :lol:

When I grow up I want to be a Groovzilla...

And all I have to do is hang out with models on weekends?
