>>2009257I've lived here over 20 years. It's like the rest of the country, urban democrats, rural republicans. Go look at a map of how people vote. It's only considered so democratic by Bill O'Reiliey or whoever because the cancerous pustules of LA and the Bay Area.
>>2009389About 18mpg. I have a compact Prius as my daily driver, but I don't really commute for work anymore since covid. Thinking about selling that, but it gets 60mpg so it's nice for getting around.
>>2009448A certain subset of women will get pretty wet for a van. VW shit is insanely expensive and breaks a lot though. Cargo vans are built as work vans, so they hold up a lot better.
Yes, I worked on it myself, and if you want to learn woodworking, electrical stuff, plumbing, etc... it's a great way. I feel the skills I've picked up will translate really well to building a house someday. There is a LOT of good "how to" material out there on every little detail, so it's not hard to figure out.
Having a sink is basically one of the primary benefits of using a van instead of just car camping/tent camping. Brushing your teeth, washing your face, washing dishes, whatever. It makes daily life far far easier and more comfortable. A sink and a comfortable mattress are key, really.
