This is the same modified (heh) VW mini van from the other side. Note the garden growing on the left side of the front bumper, and the two-stage exhaust painted yellow. You can see the drooping American flag flown from the roof.
Tomorrow I'll add some kind of cockeyed personal interpretation of the owner's motive in driving such a vehicle. Btw, there is a nearly lifesized angel attached to the front. The coil of rope at the driver's window is for a so far unknown purpose. Rounding up dinner?
Manana.

THE NEXT DAY:
Gaz, Comment #1, hit the nail square - the two following Comments agree, the very clean windscreen, aka windshield in the U.S., truly is amazing given the rest of the vehicle. So, I'm making up that the clean window signifies that the owner of the vehicle very likely is clear-eyed about something important, and more than just safety on the highway. It might be in the domain of not being overly concerned with how we appear to other people, friends or foe.
By an accident extraordinary Elsa this morning just happened to read out loud, as she reclined, random entries from Thomas a Kempis, his Immitation of Christ written in either the 1300's or very early 1400's. I did a rare thing: (for me) I Googled. A whole page of references re Thomas a Kempis, and then some. I've had the book for years but never read it!?? The good cleric, I'm totally positive, would completely understand the vehicle owner's method of travel through life. Ha ha ha ha ha ha....
It's nice to get help. Thanks Gaz! Thanks Bea! Thanks Ally!

Have you noticed how clean his windscreen is? Amazing!
Gaz
So he's probably homeless, these are all his belongings, but he must have some source of income to buy gas and food. ??? Maybe he drives around from family member to familyi member, or friend to friend. He could be doing odd jobs for people to make money. Or he's making a visual statement about the plight of his world. Like previous commenter noted... clean windshield! bea

It becomes you Zoe Brits to own such a vehicle;
Yes, we'll treasure it until the happy day you decide
to visit us again. Fly over next time though okay? Luv,
Barry
