If you’re not getting your wipers from RockAuto.com you’re getting ripped off. 

My BMW 1992 525i/5 is the highest mileage car I’ve owned, at 271k miles. I’ve owned plenty of other BMW’s into the 200's, but nowhere near 271k. The crazy thing is that it still has its original paint, original engine, and original clutch. The engine still has great compression after all these years, likely because…

495,000 on my 2000 Econoline dually van (E450 running gear all around) with the V10. Bought it from Enterprise with 105,000 miles. It was a plain white van when I bought it, got dualliefied a year after I bought it (after chewing through too many rear tires). Then got it’s extreme makeover around 250k when I realized…

I had an early 90s Ford Thunderbird that actually made it over 50k. I know that’s not 300k on a Toyota or anything, but relatively speaking, it’s an AMAZING accomplishment. Parts broke weekly.

OP/Question asker here (THE Chris). All these suggestions are great! Mercedes, I KNEW a bus was going to be yours. I went down some pretty deep Marketplace/Craigslist rabbit holes looking at camper vans, Sprinters, and all nature of other vehicles. I omitted a couple details that I realize would have been helpful.…

His mistake was not letting the load rest on top of the cab so he could hold it with one hand while he was driving. Rookie mistake.

That’s how I do it.  And then when I get to where I’m going to offload, I go “See, told you it wasn’t going anywhere...”

He clearly didn’t follow load strapping 101:

Ford sells over a million trucks per year. It is blatantly obvious that they’re building trucks people want to buy. What you want will never happen for the price you demand with today’s safety regulations. Ever.

Did you fail reading comprehension OR Boolean logic, or reading comprehension AND Boolean logic?

Don’t be thinking small. Think BIG. Think Continental. Think New Yorker. Think Delta 88. Tbink about all those smooth-riding malaise-yachts with 150 horsepower lumps. Imagine doubling or tripling the power of one of those things and gliding along in silent splendor...

So whats interesting is that it appears that ZF is mostly to credit for this powertrain (from a concept, obviously Jeep engineers deserve a lot of credit for implantation). The ZF8HP was designed from the outset to have the torque converter replaced with an IMG but it seems no one took them up on it until now, I…

Also modern emissions and safety tech is expensive and convincing people to pay for it requires amenities that also cost money. 

Profit margins are higher on bigger, more expensive cars.

His house, then use the proceeds to buy a place without an HOA?

 You might want to shut that off and get out of there.

I bet the NV1500 etc rides way better on American highways where speed limit is often 70mph or above. Huge disadvantage to cabovers is they ride like a hay truck at fast speed. Less driver fatigue = safer, more miles per day, more efficiency, more worker production
