My Deep Dive into Fluffy’s VW Buses
So, the other day, I got really curious about Gabriel Iglesias, you know, Fluffy. Not just his jokes, but his cars. I remembered seeing him talk about his Volkswagen buses, and it kinda stuck with me. I’m a bit of a car guy myself, not like a pro or anything, just enjoy looking at cool rides. His passion for those old VWs seemed really genuine.
I figured, hey, let me see what I can find out about his collection. So, my little project started pretty simply. Just hopped online, you know? Typed stuff like “gabriel iglesias car collection” into the search bar. Then got more specific, like “gabriel iglesias volkswagen buses”.
At first, you get a lot of the same few pictures, the really famous blue and white one, maybe the green one. Cool stuff, but I wanted to know more. Like, how many does he actually have? Are they all restored? What’s the story?
So, I started digging deeper. I rewatched parts of his comedy specials, the ones where he sometimes shows off his garage or talks about his life. I remembered him mentioning specific details in interviews too, so I went searching for those clips. It took some time, skipping through videos, trying to catch glimpses of the background.
Finding the Goods (and Some Dead Ends)
It wasn’t always easy. A lot of articles just repeat the same info. And sometimes you see a picture, but you’re not sure if it’s actually his or just one that looks similar. I spent a good while trying to verify things, comparing pictures from different sources.
I started keeping a mental checklist, or sometimes just jotting down notes on my phone when I found something interesting. Here’s kinda what I gathered:
- He definitely has a serious number of VW buses. More than just two or three.
- They seem to be mostly from the Type 2 generation, the classic bread loaf shape.
- He’s got them in various states – some look like perfect restorations, others maybe projects? Hard to tell for sure from just pics and clips.
- There was mention of a museum he was building or had built? That was interesting, seemed like a place to house them all.
- Finding an exact, confirmed list is really tough. He keeps some things private, which makes sense.
It became a bit of a rabbit hole, honestly. You find one picture, it leads you to a fan forum, then someone mentions an old TV appearance, and you go looking for that. It was pretty fun, like being a detective, but for celebrity car collections.
What I really took away from this whole process was just how passionate the guy is about these specific vehicles. It’s not just collecting expensive things; it feels like a real connection to VW history and culture. Seeing the sheer variety he supposedly has is impressive. Even though I couldn’t pin down every single bus, just the process of looking and learning about them was a cool way to spend some time. It definitely made me appreciate those classic buses a lot more.
