Grey Lockdown in Bernal Heights

A good way to be included in the Sketchy Van family is to have a knocked-in side door, couple broken windows, some great grafitti etched or drawn on, or a rooftop patched up by duct tape. But a sure-fire way to be included – forget fixing the hood mechanism. Just get yourself a MasterLock and a chain.

Now if you have all of them – well, you might be in the running for the best ever. A bold comment. A bold statement. Sometimes the boldest appear to be the plainest at first site.

Dodge Ram – Viper Magic

This Dodge Ram got itself a little snake bite love.

Nice back window accessory.

Good thing this bad boy has a security system.

Don’t even think about touching the license plate. Snake attack!

The Longest Dodge Explorer Van Ever

The longest Dodge van ever in the history of vans, I think. This elongated delight was found near the Odd in Bernal Heights in San Francisco.

The ODD in Bernal Heights

This isn’t technically a van but it still deserves some serious honorable mention. The only issue is that the owner obviously has taken quite a bit of pride in the uniqueness, which I applaud but doesn’t quite adhere to the Sketchy Van guideline. But still, I do respect its existence.

Brown Dodge Van in Bernal Heights

I’ve walked past this van a number of times before I was lucky enough to have my camera with me. My favorite part about these vans is the weirdness that comes out upon closer inspection.

Dodge livin’ large.

And then – this is taped in the back window.

And just because vans are hard to see the top of doesn’t mean they can escape my camera.
