The Rant Van is a digital media project from Jonny and Christy Sheehan that is currently cruising the streets of NYC. The Rant Van picks up people and lets them rant on camera about whatever is currently grinding their gears.

People from all walks of life are picked up and the rants vary from the hatred of cell phones to the rules of the sidewalk. Check out a sample rant in the video featured. Finally, a [windowless van](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-robovan) that's actually safe to go for a ride in.
