Boat trailer so far:

Are you going to use wood for the floor, or metal?

Are you going to use wood for the floor, or metal?

Wood. Metal would be too heavy and expensive. It only has a 2000# axle!

[Eye of the Tiger]

Probably 2x6 boards for the floor, and 5/8 plywood for the front and sides. Then I need to figure out a tailgate.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I'm back to wanting a minivan. Probably a 2007 or older Chrysler. The problems are well known. Parts are cheap. Easy to work on. 25 mpg. Rides nice. Dog room. Sleep room.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Jeep's rear axle shaft bearings are toast. Not difficult or expensive, but when will I get a chance to do it and finish it all in one day?
I need a second vehicle.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Stimulation check should arrive by next week. VAN shopping begins.

Geo Storm?

Geo Storm?

I can't even tell you the last time I saw one of those.

The Dodge Caravan idea wasn't bad if you want to haul stuff. We had a 2001 Grand Caravan that we bought in 2002 and we ran it for 17 years until someone ran into it. It wasn't perfect but the only major issue that we had with it was replacing the air conditioning. It had 165,00 miles when it went away and I only changed the timing belt once. It leaked a little oil most of its life and we had to replace the transmission solenoid around 150,000 miles because it was leaking.

Geo Storm?

'66 Plymouth Valiant!

And here I thought you were going to brag how you got it from Wonder Woman.

I just can't pass up a Geo Storm. Stand by.

16v? The sporty Geo? Is it teal? Or metallic fuchsia?

Storms were a semi-popular ride among the meth-mouth set, back when I worked at the farm store.. along with the Ford Aspire, first gen Kia Sephias, Chevy Corsicas, and early 80's Foxbody 'stangs. A weird alternate universe of cars

Nah, it is not teal, and it's not a 16v DOHC GSi.
It's still a little race car, though.

[Eye of the Tiger]

The base Storm is basically a FWD, hard top NA Miata. Same weight, same power, same tire size.

So it's fuchsia?

Since it gets a billion MPG, I imagine the gearing situation is quite different.

I didn't buy it, yet!
Hold on. Little things are coming.

Honestly, if someone were to build a museum and have an exhibit to show one car that typified every year, they should burn the place down if there isn't a Geo Storm in Teal or Fuschia with Taz mudflaps representing 1991.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Bonus: the front brake pads are the same as an NA Miata.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I don't even know if it is manual or automatic. I'm going to buy it, anyway.

Somehow we need to fit the SNES into that picture. Game console release dates are the epoch markers of my childhood.

I don't know anything about SNES release dates. I had a Turbo Grafix 16.

1989 was the start of your 16-bit epoch. Console bitness are like cycles on the Mayan Long Count calendar.

I don't even know how many bits my XBox One has. They don't advertise console bits anymore

Got a tow dolly rental lined up for tomorrow...
