23-year-old Brittney Schneck transformed her ’94 Dodge Caravan into a kick-ass real-life Turtles van. According to Schneck, she had started working on the van last July, paying for it from a part-time cashier job and working in her father’s auto-detailing business while also going to college.
“The Turtles played a huge role in my childhood,” Schneck said. “Growing up with all my male cousins, playing Ninja Turtles while my Uncle Harry (Uncle Shredder) chased us around doing an exact voice of The Shredder. He used to drive us all around in his Caravan, and when I see one, I just think of the Turtles and all the memories.”
