This is the first time I read about a minivan and thought “oh, that would be nice”. It was the vacuum that did it. And the doors.

Would probably have to be a “for off road use only” item because of pedestrian safety rules, I’d guess.

Wow I so remember that feeling of the cover-less batteries under my fingers while playing. I’d be mid-game and a battery would turn and power-cycle. So annoying! I put tape over it at some point which only marginally made it better.

Try Inrix. Google Maps with social functions. They sell their data to Google, I think? They did before Google bought Waze anyway. Not sure now.

I’m strongly considering a cordless miter just because of that battery.

Yep. True for me in the opposite direction, to some degree, if I’m honest. I drive a POS to work everyday because why spend a ton on something nice and rack up a lot of miles on it when something not nice gets the job done. And there’s a part of me that wants people to know this is a choice I make.

A number of people in my family work seasonal jobs, and in the winter, buy and sell cars for profit.

It’s the Amp-Hours you gotta watch. The 5.0 AH Li-Ion dewalt batteries are amazing. Too heavy for my impact, but in everything else it’s just amazing.

I’ve got one that will bring a lot of baggage, conversation, and heated debate. Oh, and fun. And hood slides. Must have doors welded shut. Or at least pretend.

I don’t really care about credit for suggestions (we posted at the same time, anyway), but it does make me feel not part of the conversation. How do I get ungrey’d for the next one?

The Levi’s edition Gremlin is kinda fun.

Thanks

There are other obvious advantages to this, too. Especially in the camping/overlanding crowd.

I can’t figure this out, either. Mk4 GTI, Mk4 Beetle TDI, Mk4 Passat TDI, Mk4 Jetta Wagon TDI. I think I suffer from this “the devil you know” disease.

I bought it back from the insurance company and resold it to a guy who turned it into a pickup. So a bit of a silver lining there, I guess.

It was. I’m still burning it. It was on a slight hill that became super saturated from a week of rain, and down it came. I took down like 3 trees after that one fell.. another couple of feet and that would have taken out 2 more cars. As it is, it took out the garage doors instead.

Yep. Still didn’t get what it was worth, though. Insurance used non-TDI’s as comparisons.

Mk4 Jetta Wagon TDI. Auto trans died 2 days after I bought it. Craigslist of course. Put a 6-speed in it and it’s good to go, now.

This, if done well, works well sometimes. I bought a passat wagon this way. A guy listed it for 2.5k more than I knew he’d get for it, so I went and saw him, gave him a bunch of information about his car, and told him something like: “I hope you can get that much for it, but if you can’t, here’s what I’ll give you. I…
