    Warning to those looking @ the new "Ram" Vans.

    This is why when my Dodge died, I went back to Chevrolet......Ford just give me the shakes at times....Yes, I do like the looks of the Promaster, but not what I have read here and elsewhere.

    Anyone tried this idea?

    There's a park near where I work. Next to the park is an old State Trooper place now for rent. There's about 2 acres next to that with very thick foliage.  I did consider that for a experiment, but since my van died and I bought a better one, I just thought it might be something to try if I was...

    I was shocked by "Kratom" and how good it worked

    Those who took another drug with kratom were more than twice as likely to have a serious medical outcome as those who took kratom by itself, the researchers found. Among the 11 people who died, nine were reported to have taken another drug with kratom, including alcohol, diphenhydramine (an...

    HOW many miles??

    Plumbing vans carry very heavy loads. I saw a box van that a plumber used for several years for sale. You could see the rear was even lower than the front end. Those vans I'd steer clear of.... I got lucky, got a 3500 for $9,300 with 95K miles on it... Guy actually had it at 12K and when I...

    This was a good mistake I made.

    I only mention 10K as that's what the rating is from the maker. I believe it's 80% of rated amount for safe towing.

    This was a good mistake I made.

    Well, the Dodge croaked and was declared "Brain Dead" at the repair facility. $1,300 suggest for revival. For a 20 year old van? Nah, not happening. So, looked around, found a 2005 Chevy (Sliding door Yuk) but with 95K miles (Had belonged to a college, so I guess it was for student...

    My Mini Van Pull-Out Room in Which I Can Stand

    Nifty, I had a 1978 van the previous owner had made into a slide out like yours, but it was made for camping. But not standing up in. I only wish I'd taken pics of it....It Was an impressive piece of work.

    how hard to work on van engine, etc?

     What would you suggest those owners should know? What to change or repair and when to say "Call the mechanic"?

    You could own a historical, notorious van

    I'm passing on owning Dodges for awhile. Mine finally croaked and was declared "Brain Dead" at the shop. $1,300 for repairs? On a 20 year old van? Nah. got an Chevy now....We'll see how it goes.

    Under attack the war begins.

    I was in the YCC and found a product that you spray it on arms, legs, and neck. No bites...But they had included the dreaded "Red dye No. 2" so it was banned...Damnit.

    update of asset forfeiture laws

    That's always puzzled me....I can understand carrying $5-$9K for purchases, cars, trailers and such...But $91K? Cashiers checks aren't safer? Of course, the banks report deposits over $10K...Maybe it was "Tax free" money?

    Things that don't Really Need to be refrigerated

    You can buy eggs and they'll last or you can buy the dehydrated ones (Pretty dang tasty) and cook them over LOW heat (Too high burns it) and I have tasted no difference between fresh eggs and dehydrated.

    Things that don't Really Need to be refrigerated

    Disagree. I have had Steel Reserve at 75-80 degrees and at 8.1% by weight, it's stunningly effective.

    What will you do when you get too old ?

    I'm 58 this month. I suffer from depression at times. That's kind of why I don't carry a pistol......However, if I was to take enough of my meds...I won't need a pistol.... However, I have a job I am happy with and hope that in the next 12 months to pay off my debts of $14.5K and the vehicle...

    Crossing the country on a low income

    I have been thinking on those levels. One thing people need to consider, is where they park. Three days? Heck some cops chase you off after 12-24 hours.

    What about Idaho?

    I first thought it was "Cannabis" but then the "in case you want to swim", had me go back and reread! :D

    Would it be worth it?

    There's several auctions going in my area which have old CNG shuttle vans for sale.  (12 Passenger types) The interior conditions are good and so is the exterior. Just the engine is a CNG. Would it be worth yanking out the CNG engine and replacing it with a gas/diesel engine instead?  Or...
