    Combination bug/privacy/reflecting screens?

    On my minivan, i used velcro around the edges of the front windows to attach the mesh fabric. Bad part of that is i had to put the smooth side of the velcro on the screen (the rough side wanted to grab and tear my fabric.) So you end up with the rough side of the velcro where you rest your arm...

    Pee bucket

    I put a doggie pee pad from the dollar store down before I peed in the bottle. Of course after doing it a couple times I thought I don't need the pee pad, I've got this down now. And of course I managed to get it on the rug. So now - pee pad every time.

    Buying a car right now

    I thought i had read your post but apparently i had not. It contains the info i was looking for and I need to just delete my post, if that is possible. I think i may just hold on to the T&C to see if things are better in 6 months.

    Why rent and home prices are so high

    Afraid you may be right. I live in an "affordable" housing part of the country but its not very affordable any more. But what happens if millions or tens of millions can't afford rent?

    Why curtains for the front vs Reflectix

    I know there must be a reason that folks do a curtain behind the van seats rather than blackout fabric/reflectix in the front and side door windows. I'm fixing up a 2007 Town and Country and the front glass IS huge.

    Stepping up into full size van

    Hi all, today i noticed that stepping up into the side door of my Chevy Express is getting harder for due to a hip problem. Nothing to hold on to there to pull up with for one thing. And at 5'6" its a pretty high step-up. Your solution?
