1989 G20 Chevrolet Conversion Van
1989 G20 Chevrolet Conversion Van
This is ideal when there is only one person in your group with a license. Everybody piles in the shaggin' wagon, you throw on some runner lights, pop in The Big Lebowski to watch on that high-tech 4-inch screen, and enjoy the open space of the back seat-turned-comfy bed. Just don't break the rotation, homie.
1998 Jeep Wrangler
1998 Jeep Wrangler
First of all, this is the ultimate whip for finding a hiding spot. You can literally go anywhere you want to, especially if it's up on a lift kit with some massive tires. Then, when you're done, whip off the top, air it out, and stare in wonderment at the crazy constellations above (II).
2007 Honda Element
2007 Honda Element
Let's break this down (while you break your goods down). This activity is all based on the elements. You are taking a product from the earth, engaging it with fire, and activating it with wind (albeit man-made). Plus, this Honda model is literally a box on wheels. It's not exactly the hottest whip around, but it'll do.
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser
We've all had that friend that ruins the party when he or she drops the lit tip right onto the cloth seat or carpeted floor, leaving an ugly, undesirable black spot in your upholestry. The FJ Cruiser's interior is fit for rough conditions, so that ash isn't going leave a mark on those plastic floors.
1977 Pontiac Trans Am
1977 Pontiac Trans Am
It made appearances in Smokey and the Bandit and How High. What else do we need to say?
1987 Cadillac Brougham

The list wouldn't be complete without a Caddy. We went with the car from one of our favorite stoner flicks ever, Pineapple Express. Just make sure you don't fall asleep with murderous talk radio on, leaving you stranded in the woods with a dead battery. That's not a good look. Not a good look at all.
Food Truck
Food Truck
Having a slow day? No worries, just put up the "out for lunch" sign, close the customer window, and use that gas grill to light something other than chicken kebabs. When you're finished, cook yourself a feast to fit your insatiable appetite. Just know you might be too lazy to actually prepare yourself food.
Tour Bus
Tour Bus
When you're on the road so much, this is an obvious choice. It's bound to happen every once in a while. The best part is that the occupants can walk around, play Mario Kart on the flatscreen, grab a snack or cold beverage from the mini fridge, or just go lie in one of the bunks. This, all while somebody sits secluded up front, driving you wherever you want to go.
2002 Toyota Camry
2002 Toyota Camry
You want to be able to get home after you do your business, don't you? When you wake up, that is. What's more relaible than the Japanese engineering found under the hood of a Toyota Camry? If it was durable enough to survive a wild journey to White Castle and a thrashing from Neil Patrick Harris, it's good enough to be your vehicle of choice. Plus, it's still spacious enough to fit multiple passengers.
1964 Chevrolet Impala
1964 Chevrolet Impala
Behold the ultimate hot box vehicle. Idolized in Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, the old school Impala is perfect for practicing your favorite extra-curricular activity, whether done on a cruise on the open highway or parked in a used car lot. Just make sure your choice selection doesn't include Labrador.
