I see this car downtown or near UWM/Marquette all the time. Does anyone know the story about it? There is no rhyme or reason to the sayings written on the car.

I'm 30 years old I remember being 7 and seeing this car driving around the near south side of the city. he is sort of a local legend, trust everyone in south eastern Wisconsin has seen this car all over and for the last 30 years. he drives around with bible saying and verses and has the loud speaker play messages, he hands out bibles in court and on the street if you see him. The cops go easy on him kinda how they were lax with the pepperoni canoli guy and freeway, all 3 are local legends and soon you can add the Milverene to that list. Just another Milwaukee guy!

Saw this guy yesterday by State Fair Park. I haven't seen him for a couple years so I thought he was gone...Probably saw that car for or five times over the years.

I think I heard that a drunk driver killed his child and that made him go crazy but I'm not sure if that's true.

I haven't lived in Milwaukee in 19 years, and have been back only once since moving, but I've seen this car! I must have been a little kid, wow. Cool stuff.

Oh I've seen it several times. Mostly on the east side. Quite the piece of work.

Ha ha ha! Yeah... that car has been around forever. I just assume the dude has some form of mental illness.

Ive seen it twice in downtown Milwaukee within the last 3 or 4 years. There's something about it that is absolutely fascinating. I don't tailgate it though. I give it a wide berth.

I guess that car is why Chief Flynn said the MPD doesn't chase paper.
