The walls of the 9x16 dog shed. When I buy my own house, it will become my mom's garden shed.

Ahh!
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Doesn't pegboard have a bunch of little holes in it?  I'm having a little trouble seeing walls made out of pegboard.

What's his username? I might know him!

It is for the inner wall. I already put up fiberglass insulation and a 6mil vapor barrier with 1/2" furring strips on top to space the pegboard out.

Okay, I see it now.

I've been driving my mom's old Ford Escape for the past two days because Jeep decided to crack a heater hose. No big deal? Just being lazy as far as fixing it.

The utilitarian side of me is thinking about picking up an '02 Corolla for commuting. So boring. I just did the brake lines on one for a customer.

I had a Mazda Protege which I really liked.

I forgot about Protegé. They are fun to drive with the big engine. There aren't very many of them around, though.

An early model ZX3 would be a fun car.  Kind of scarce though.

I have several Corollas that I will inquire about after the holiday.

Corolla is a great choice as a dependable inexpensive appliance. My friend's son (millennial with absolutely zero interest in cars) has one and it's just perfect for him & his new wife.

If I close on this house 1 mile away from work, I won't worry about another 4-wheeled vehicle. I might start to collect motorcycles, though.

Close enough to bicycle, or walk.

Good option.  Jeep when it snows.

But I have SAVAGE. Little 650 single cylinder so... it's like a big scoot.

It's best not to let vehicles sit, so I will have to go on lots of pointless drives. We have the perfect road for random blasts and top speed runs. Route 11 is a highway to nowhere. They never finished it. Very light traffic all the time.

Yes, but travelling a mile a couple of times a day can't be healthy for a IC engine.

Not at all, which is why I'll have to go on random drives at least once a week.

Good idea.  "Italian Tune-ups" are always a fun way to keep the valves clean and the rings from seizing.

Alternatively, you can get one of these...



...for snowy days.  It even seems to have knobby tires.  You can plug it in at work and save the cost of charging at home.
