VPG Ceases Operations - No More MV-1?

Reports are surfacing that VPG Autos have ceased their operations and production of the MV-1 has been stopped.  After receiving a $50 million loan from the US Department of Energy,  VPG was unable to sustain the funds to repay their loan and continue production to fulfill the orders that have been received.  This is unfortunate news considering that VPG has made about 2,500 MV-1s between September 2011 and October 2012.

Based on their Facebook page, they have laid off their entire sales staff and have stopped answering business calls since the middle of April.  There has been unconfirmed reports that VPG may be acquired by AMG; however, the majority of the news and feedback suggests that is not going to happen.

Justin Spurlock's "Orange Crush"

Being an avid car enthusiast myself and having done my own customizations on my personal minivan, I had to put up a post of Justin Spurlock's 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, whom he dubs as "Orange Crush".  As you can see, Spurlock does not let the fact that he is a C5-7 quad stop him from having one of the nicest minivans around.  More information after the jump.
