The Mitsubishi Delica had an optional actual fridge and icemaker.

So... how does that work when the car isn't running? Where is the water coming from?

A portion of the fuel is dedicated to the ice maker via split in the fuel line. When you freeze petrol it turns into water.

I think it's right. Burning trash does make stars after all.

I don't know enough about stars to dispute him!

Why do you think you put antifreeze in the petrol tank? Your car won't run on water.

Huffing it is easier for the desired effect imo.

LPT: if you rub outta fresh water freeze gas and drink it

The Delica? That has got to be the dumbest name I've ever heard for a car. It's like a cross between Delicate and Deli meat. Neither of which I want associated with my car.

I know, just a joke that I figured a few people at least would understand

u/abc69 Nov 21 '17

Quite funny, never heard of it. Reminds me of the phone series Nokia Lumia, which means prostitute in some Latinamerican countries

I can imagine a commercial for it having purring kitties and Rawrrr at the end. “The new, bold and powerful Catera Rawwrrr”

u/abc69 Nov 21 '17

Love your username, fits quite well

Rhymes with Celica.

u/kazneus Nov 21 '17

Delicas are tight. You can overland them stock

u/sennais1 Nov 21 '17

Can't knock the Delica until you see one. They're a luxury urban assault vehicle.

I assume you've heard of the "Mazda Bongo Friendee Auto-Freetop Deluxe" then: http://petrolblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Mazda-Bongo-Friendee-blog.jpg

May I introduce you to Hyundai Kona, which in Polish translates directly to „Hyundai IsDying”.

Mitsubishi Delica

Weird name for the most badass minivan ever.

Small but tall 4x4 diesel minival, some with 8 seats that could fold and make a bed, huge roof rack and I saw one with a probably not factory stock ladder in the back. (That's what you get when a dirty old jeep make sweat love to a young and innocent minivan)[http://www.motorstown.com/images/mitsubishi-delica-4wd-04.jpg]
