    Some like it hot

    Mmmmm... Cholula. I eat it straight on tortillas. Just spicy, not hot.<br><br><img rel="lightbox" src="http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm154/kjforce09/th_cholula.jpg" class="bbc_img">

    Window Film

    Not a new idea but at least my review of such.<br><br>http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100616371/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&amp;langId=-1&amp;keyword=window+film&amp;storeId=10051#.UOSyrLaiVak<br><br>36"x72" for 30 bucks. Like many others, I tried the DIY window tinting 30 years...

    1988 Nissan Stanza wagon - Dina

    Hey?! That looks familiar, color and all! Great cars. I developed a transmission issue around 200k but nothing else. All my friends called it the "cockroack" because it would just never die. <br><br>I loved the pillarless side sliders. I never took the back seat out but did a similar build with...

    Is there any problem with using a Rooftop Cargo Carrier?

    They're fine. Most folks assume it is a kayak (sigh) or that you ski. If the vehicle is one that looks like a box belongs on it, it won't look out of place. The CRV will be fine. <br><br>If you get a quality box (Thule or Yakima) with a rack you <strong>will not</strong> have any issue with...

    into the wild movie

    I read the Krakauer book then saw the movie a few years later when it came out. (Jon Krakauer is a fantastic author. If you get the chance, read some of his other stuff.)<br><br>Though I could agree with much of the philosophy the kid borrowed, I found myself screaming at the kid during the book...

    Anyone haul a motorcycle inside their cargo van?

    FI? Really?! Man, I never would have thought it with a 250 dual sport but then again my bikes have all been older. My bike now has four carbs and is a stinky sonuvagun when I shut it off (or start it.)

    Anyone haul a motorcycle inside their cargo van?

    I've carried a motorscooter inside but never a motorcycle I owned. Even the scooter, I had difficulty maneuvering it due to vertical clearances. My motorcycle is 600 lbs and the scooter was less than 200. No way in heck I would attempt to move the motorcycle around without behind able to stand...

    That is very cool!

    What type of van do you prefer for full time living

    Heck, I would love to have a B class but found a deal - like so many - on a low-top cargo that I had to start there. Of the four, I think I would prefer the high-top cargo and strip the inside to my own requirements. The handicap/hightop would be awesome but it would stick out a bit. I wonder...

    hotrodimus - <br /><br />You've got nine posts here in nine days. All but two of them are either in a thread with "political" in the title or Obama, less this thread. None of us are paid as mods and volunteer our time. Thinly veiled insults at the mod staff like "<span...

    Grievance Collecting

    The Prophet! I read that when I was fourteen. Impacting, excellent read.<br /><br />Honestly though, I think Stillwater the panda did more for me than any. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

    Hello from a hopeful adventurer!

    If this is only a one year sojourn that involves many miles, you might want to sacrifice space for fuel economy and reliability. A mini-van might make more sense. I did really well in an all wheel drive toyota previa. If you had asked ten to fifteen years ago, I might have recommended a 4wd...
