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?

Sold.  But only if you include the Dakota's ruined dumper in the deal.

Front or back bumper? You can have both if you want.

Oh, you said dumper, not bumper. Umm.. I just fixed it. It's not ruined.

Back on the topic of Dakota's dumper.

This is going in, and I won't be using any lube:



It's supposed to be for motorcycles, but 60 mm is the exact right size. If it kills too much power, I'll have to start drilling holes.

Dakota is a good daily.
I need 4x4 GMC for LAND.
I was going to sell Ranger. I keep debating that. Yeah, I'll sell it.
I should sell Fiesta, too. I don't need a new car.

Yeah. I've never undestood why you buy new cars. You are a clunker connosieur, and you might as well embrace it.

I like everything. Maybe I'll keep Fiesta. One of the last Ford cars. Good for the post apocalyptic future, after the fossil fuel wars.

I was actually dead set on no more car loans a few years ago. But Mighy Max cracked its head, and Summit spun a rod bearing, and I had just sold Accent to my cousin - all at the same time. I was driving 200+ miles/day making deliveries at the time, and had no place or time to do these major repairs. I had to go out real quick and get a loan on something - Element. And so it started again.

When two Mitsubishis simultaneously leave one stranded, The Two Car Minimum Rule™ must be examined.

And so it occurs to me that I should continue on my original course: Sell Fiesta, and maybe replace Ranger with a fuel efficient sedan with cruise control.

After over a decade of service, The Two Car Minimum Rule™ is hereby and forthwith amended to The Three Car Minimum Rule™.

Is that per driver or per household? If it is per household then I'm in the black. If it is per driver then I need to get a couple of more cars.

Yes. Three is an absolute minimum

Through a series of poorly planned purchases, I ended up with five vehicles and no place to keep them.  My ex wife had one towed off the driveway of my former home without asking me.  The other four, I managed to keep close to me, for a while.

GMC is back on the road. New passenger motor mount and a bracket that I had to bend and weld back together. It took all fricking day.

Let's say I sold the house real quick, got a camper trailer, and lived at some campground for $200-400/month.
The GMC is the only truck that can really tow, but I'd have to take the spool out of the rear end so I don't tear up the campground :lol:
The Dakota could tow a camper for a short distance, but no.
I'd probably have two parking spots, max. A two car maximum contradicts my three car minimum, but the max is the max.
0. Camper trailer < 5000#
1. GMC for towing
2. Dakota for everything else

I found a campground for $380/mo that includes electric city and Wi-Fi. Bingo. This will save me a 6.2 trillion dollars per month. I could be almost debt free ...?

I really like the looks of this 28' camper. The slide out really opens up the floor, which is important for doges.

Too bad, it's actually over 6000 pounds. GMC should not tow that much.

This is actually my camper. Except I have the bunkhouse model without the slideout.
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?

Is the bunk bed for dogs too? Otherwise, seems like wasted space for just you.

Also why do even 2009 campers look like the interiors were designed 25 years ago?

This one is a nice size. The queen bed turns into a sofa, and the lower bunk is a double. And it has a sweet wolf mural.

Yes. Its not a great tow vehicle, but it does the job.
