STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Pete Davidson<\/a> has officially entered his dad-van era.<\/p>\n

In a recent video<\/a> for eBay\u2019s new \u201cBuilt to Spec<\/a>\u201d series, the Staten Island native revealed that he\u2019s been prepping for fatherhood by commissioning the ultimate custom minivan. And not just any minivan, of course. A fully decked-out, VHS-playing, baby-bottle-cooling Honda Odyssey.<\/p>\n

\u201cI found out I was going to be a dad. I was like, \u2018Holy crap, I need a dad van,\u2019\u201d Davidson said in the video. \u201cI would just like a minivan that\u2019s sick, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

His case for driving one is peak Staten Island pragmatism: \u201cNo one looks at you in a minivan. No one bothers you. It\u2019s so uncool that it\u2019s kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enter eBay, which Davidson said reached out, ready to help make his dad-van dreams come true.<\/p>\n

Working with well-known builder Tony Angelo of Stay Tuned<\/a>, Davidson helped assemble an equal parts absurd and functional parent-mobile, including lifted suspension, new wheels and tires, a cold-air intake, LED fog light pods, an awning, a cargo box and a center-console fridge. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not a cooler,\u201d Angelo explained in the video. \u201cIt\u2019s an actual fridge \u2026 baby bottles, anything you need to keep cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

The real showstopper is the old-school tech that was a must-have for Davidson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWoah, we got a VHS player! Hell yeah, dude. That\u2019s f—— awesome,\u201d he said, spotting the flip-down LCD screen. \u201cThis is my dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

A nearly identical second van, built with the same mods Pete selected, is currently up for auction on eBay, with 100% of the proceeds going to Answer the Call, Davidson\u2019s chosen nonprofit that helps families of fallen NYC first responders.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe we could race our minivans one day,\u201d he joked in the video. <\/p>\n
