eBay Find of the Day: VW Toaster Van
click above image for more pics of the VW Toaster Van
You're supposed to get baked in the VW bus, not toasted, but whatever. Volkswagen originally had these promotional toasters done up for its Japanese operation. Buy a new VW or bring your VeeDub in for an inspection, get a toaster. While supplies last, of course. There were only 5,000 produced, and fans of splitties and air-cooled VWs in general are rightfully nutso for them. We're not sure if the 100-volt wiring for the Japanese consumer will be okay on the slightly higher voltage here in the US, but if you torch your house after spending at least $250 on the toaster, please don't hold us responsible. Just in time for Christmas, the ultimate culinary delight for Volkswagen fans. What better way to augment a nice Frühstück of Hazelnussomeletten than with some VW-logo toast?

Great! The world's slowest toaster.

It sold for over $450.00.
It's a pretty cool item, I must say, but I wouldn't pay $450 for it.
The interior of the toaster has heat shields so your toast has the VW logo right on it. That's far-out man!

Ironic that in it's heyday, lots of people were getting 'toasted' in VW minibuses.

Damn, I would have bid on that. Perhaps not up to $450, but something high for a toaster. If anyone should come across this again... (sirAQUAMAN64@hotmail.com)
