hopefully its a bolt not a rune ??? ; Consider Opel is a 100% daughter of GM; don't ask me why they use such ambiguous sign

Long tradition. The logo comes from the Opel Blitz truck, blitz means lightning bolt in German. General Motors has owned Opel since about 1928, the Nazi nationalized it but GM took it back after the war. Has nothing to do with the SS--it predates it by a long time.

Yes.  "SS" has to do with Camaros.

Yeah, me and my buddy Google. I knew the GM part, the lightning bolt made me curious enough to look it up. Fastest fingers in the west.

Incognito... : ) 
I bought this 2000 Astro van for ONE reason only... to keep my SUP safe... and out of the sun.
The fact that I can park unnoticed at any surf break is an added bonus.
When I went to look at the van, I brought my Starboard Avanti (11'2" X 36") with me and did not drive the van until I was sure the board fit inside with doors closed. PERFECT fit ! If it was 1/4" longer it would NOT fit.
I just walk up... slide the board & paddle in and drive away...
I LOVE it ! AWD is an added bonus.
