I have a pickup truck if you need to utilize it for load out, I'll be back in the area around midnight or so. My plan is to stop by Quencher's for a beer on the way home anyway.

I would definitely see a band called Shitty Bear.

AMEN.

Sorry to hear that, weird thing is I've been praying for someone to steal my piece of shit car for awhile and there are no takers as of yet.

You gotta be shittin' me! I was fixin' to ask ya'll if ya wanted me to wrench on that thing too. I could tell that it needed some new head gaskets. God damn that's just more scratch I ain't gonna be able to make now. If I find the little punk bitch that took your ride, I'll jam a fuckin' Arkansas toothpick in his gut and make him wish he never tangled with the Claw.

I got a van ya'll can borrow if ya give me a carton of Newports. It ain't quite as big or shiny as your fifteener, but she ain't let me down yet.

Do you think the theives thought your gear was in the van? As I remember you guys use full svts, etc..

Really shitty. Crappy thing to lose a tour van.

Can I suggest for your next van - a fuel cutoff. You'll never lose another one.

...so no update, the van is probably gone for good. Anyone have any leads or hookups for a new van for us? If anyone has any suggestions or knows of anyone selling anything PM me or email me at scott at bearclawrock dot com

...Its a long shot but if anyone happens to see a maroon 1993 Ford E-350 club wagon with a liscense plate number T721769 please call the cops immediately as its been reported stolen so maybe we'd get it back. One thing that could help ID it other than the plate number is on the steering wheel I put some hinges to hold the horn section in place with the rest of the wheel. The hinge just bridges the seam between the horn piece and the bottom piece on both side of the steering wheel. Also, we have locks on the side door and rear door with a metal bracket deal manufactured by a company called Kyroptanite. I doubt there are that many maroon 1993 E-350's out there with these mods. After you call the cops call me right away to at 773.260.2181

you never know...

Thanks,

Scott

...well it sucks that the van got stolen but damn that replacement was fast and really reasonable. Check out the new Bear Claw tour mobile:

34,000 miles! I checked it out today and the body and inside are excellent and the engine clean, breaks good, brand new tires, doesn't leak a drop, and both the front and rear air and heat work! I can't believe we're going to have air conditioning! I've been sweating my ass off since 2000 in different vans with no air. So church owned it for like 13 years hence the mileage.

It might no be a bad idea to put an ignition kill switch on this thing. I had an old Charger that had no key(ghetto) and it never got touched.

Yes I agree ignition kill switch for sure and a "CLUB". First alterations that will be made for sure...
