    Back at it again! Maybe a Class A this time?

    Hello friends and family! I hope you have all been doing well. I have been off grid and MIA for the past year or so but as the weather warms up I am looking to upgrade my living situation yet again.  I am highly considering a Class A now that I am more stationary and have the room for it, but...

    Oops, anyone have experience with gear shift indicators?

    Sooooooo I was tinkering with the van, and had to take my dash out to get to some wiring. I accidentally undid this little clip, that holds my gear shift indicator in place near the steering wheel. It popped out, I was able to salvage the parts, there are three pieces. One is a weird metal clip...

    I think I have found the one!

    UPDATE: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/cto/5144664643.html So I went today to check out this van, and I really liked it. The guy said he would go as low as $2,000 for it, asking price was $2,250. I test drove it, the alignment was a little off and when I was breaking it seemed a little...

    I would love some opinions on this van please!

    Hello everyone! I have been shopping around for several months now for the right van for me. I was looking for a high top conversion van with less than 200,000 miles for around $2,500 or less but they seem to be hard to come by! I decided to lower my standards a bit and found this van on...
