You may be on to something, I think I see a loophole.

i put solar panels on my roof and wrote an article about it to jerk myself because im that self absorbed.

Gods almighty

I still prefer bench seats for easy access.

You know what this kid needs? A cigarette behind his ear, and his sleeves rolled up to reveal those classic teenage boy (not) biceps. Maybe even one of those switchblade combs, and a tin of pomade in his back pocket.

I like the high seating position because it gives you the best vantage point to spot the tow truck you called. 

For probing around corners.

Tax income does not equal actual income. That 58 cent per mile assumption is going to be way higher than actual expenses for your car because it’s based on averages for work vehicles, most of which are big trucks/vans, not a tiny cheap sonic. Your fuel cost is probably ~7 cents per mile. Your repairs at 6K over 50k…

I KNOW WHAT THIS IS!

As a mechanical engineer, it never ceases to amaze me what we are able to engineer together. This is one of the most metal things I’ve ever seen. 

My insurance doesn’t care about where it’s registered, just where I park it. Insurance is another headache. Some companies require you to send in photos showing the bus as an RV, others will just assume you aren’t lying and insure it as an RV, anyway. My friend in Indiana insured their skoolie build as a commercial…

The story was that in 1991 Ayrton Senna and Mauricio Gugelmin were racing back to Surrey where they lived at the time from testing at Silverstone on one of the roads where only 70 Mph is permitted. Cop asked him “Who do you think you are? Nigel Mansell?” Apparently his reply was a simple “No. I’m Ayrton Senna.” Maurici…

That’s a bummer, I have an 87 F350 CCLB 4x4 I would LOVE to run dog dish caps on.  I’m not even sure they made them with the hole for the manual front hubs, but I’d imagine finding a nice set of any of them would require some patience.  Such is the life of a guy trying to build a clean 30 year old work truck.  

Installing a heater in my garage has to be the best thing I’ve done. When its -20F outside, I can wrench in a T shirt on a dry car.

Excellent truck, complete with dog dishes!

That’s a beautiful 9th gen right there

That, too.

The hilarious thing to me, as a near-lifelong Northerner, is the prohibition on new gas lines cited in the article as being in effect in some places, though none of them must be anywhere near me or in any sort of climate where an actual furnace is an indispensable requirement for maintaining human life in conditions…

Get fucked dude. No one says they have to accept the generous gift. Sell it and take the cash? Just say you don’t want it?

yeah; it’s all those assholes driving trucks now.
