    Which small van platform is the best?

    well the new Nissan NV400 is set to come out soon... all electric but only goes 87 miles before needing a 60 min recharge.... http://www.hybridcars.com/nissan-preparing-2014-launch-of-e-nv200-electric-van/

    Roadkill, pidgeons,squirl, seagulls, rats, alley cat, etc.

    yeah but subsonic recordings of vegitables being cooked records them screaming... at least the dead thing on the road had a mostly full life before being ripped away from it (likely from its own stupidity and natural selection) in a mostly quick death (rather than being steamed or juiced, eek!)...

    Seriously considering leaving before things get worse, not sure how to hide plans

    yup, sex of the OP makes no difference, your 19 get out there and make your own huge mistakes then learn and recover from them just like everybody does/did. Sometimes more communication makes sense, but if the parrents are logging every minute past 3 hrs the OP has been away from home...

    Stealth and HOA

    totally disagree with Pikachu711 and agree with stephson I'm in almost the exact same situation as the OP. parents have a hardcore HOA, they are always making threats, like when they declared our 8ft x 8ft moveable chicken coup (its a rural area) a violation of the "architectural committee"...

    Biggest Stealth Fails

    Yeah I been thinking about doing that, also considering a condensation cooler that has a temp setting... but the condensation cooler is like 340 bucks, if I could just get a temp sensitive fan myself (for like 10-30 bucks) I could basically make it myself. the fantastic van I was considering...

    Seriously considering leaving before things get worse, not sure how to hide plans

    This guy is 19, not 13, I don't know anything about his situation (maybe the parents are abusive, maybe just control freaks or nut jobs, who can guess) but if he wants to get out, he can form a plan, make it happen, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with calling mom on the phone one evening...

    Roadkill, pidgeons,squirl, seagulls, rats, alley cat, etc.

    Cat predation and huge numbers of ferral cats in the U.S. Is a big issue, huge pigeon and seagull populations can be big health problems in some bigger cities, rats... Nuff said. It might be illegal but this is one of those things where I'm starting to wonder why. I did read an article about a...

    Roadkill, pidgeons,squirl, seagulls, rats, alley cat, etc.

    Hi all, I once read a great essay written by a guy who had worked in homless shelters, he interviewed a homeless man who had lived and survived on the streets for 35 years. It was pretty amazing, practical knowledge on how to kill pidgeons with a throwing stick in the park, and use the meat to...

    One of the nicest stealth vans I've seen

    Um, key word there is "legal". I'm ok in the gray areas of the law, some aren't and I don't want to offend/get somebody in trouble who might do it differently than I do...

    Seriously considering leaving before things get worse, not sure how to hide plans

    ok so a "go for broke" plan... (and again, this is assuming your a legal legit adult) 1) use some money and follow the directions on the other topics for setting up a new address, get new mail (from the banks card companies etc) delivered there. 2) dont use your computers at home, go to a...

    Bio-ethanol fireplace?

    well technically all fuel is bio isnt it? I dont think there is such a thing as completely synthetic gasoline... (I think all their saying the bio for is because it comes from recycled garbage or something rather than grown corn)

    Is it a good idea to buy a van camper from a delear?

    Yeah, too much but its not a bad van, who knows maybe he'd actually take much less. far as dealerships are concerned, some are good to buy from because they have their mechanics check everything before the put a car on the yard, and yes they have higher overhead and yes you can probably find a...

    What is a Good Mini-Van to Live In?
