Default Just a few of the reasons why the LSVW is unmourned

The command post vans are practical, but the vehicle itself is a piece of $hit. A turbo diesel with an automatic transmission. There is no Park on the trans, and if the engine revs too high, the shifter won't go into gear. The handbrake is off when the handle is up. The spare tire mount (or it used to be) on a great big spring that would slam up (or down?) and actually killed a man. Oh, and the tube inside the fuel tank is dangling in mid-air, so half a tank is actually an empty tank.
