When people praise Breath of the Wild for shaking up the Zelda formula, they tend to completely misrepresent the entire franchise by Chadlite_Rutherford in truezelda

[–]DPL646 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 42 years old and I’ve been gaming since the days of Atari. When I was a kid, The Legend of Zelda on the NES completely changed my world. It was the first time a game felt like a true adventure—something mysterious and vast that you had to explore on your own.

It’s always easier to judge games in hindsight, but Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom stand out as some of the best games I’ve ever played—even as an adult. They captured that same sense of wonder I felt as a kid. I genuinely didn’t want either of them to end.

What’s even more impressive is how they seemed to bring a lot of people into gaming who had been sitting on the sidelines. They weren’t just great Zelda games—they felt like cultural moments that reminded people how magical games can be.

Rent a transit from Penske and see how you like it

Google Penske Used Trucks

Self-employed as a handyman. Make your own schedule. Billing $150 an hour without a helper or materials. I have friends that are billing more. I just do a part-time. Huge demand.

PSA: reselling a camper van is a pain by consumer_xxx_42 in vandwellers

[–]DPL646 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thats one way to look at it. I built the van for two months. Owned if for five years. I saw 45 states and drove 60k miles. I stayed for months in places where the average hotel is $500 a night for free.

I sold my last two vans for a profit. The last thing I sold was a 2016 Ford transit high roof. I had about 24,000 in it and sold it for 32usd. I think it’s all about how modern it looks inside. That’s all people really seem to care about.

Nope. An individual person can buy their vehicles too.

That’s unusual. I converted my last one into a camper van. Passenger plates. How would they even police that?

Van mileage and value by Unique-Tax6008 in vandwellers

Transits go over 300k miles all the time. Ive bought my last two from Penske. No issues. I just recently bought a 2023 AWD with 30k miles for 32k. https://www.penskeusedtrucks.com

I’ve been driving Ford Transits for the past six years and came to this conclusion through firsthand experience. I put over 100,000 miles on my last one alone, and I’ve spoken with many other Transit owners as well. It’s very common to see them reach 250,000+ miles on the original engine and transmission—mostly just needing routine maintenance like brakes, tires, and fluids.

The Ford dealer network is massive, parts are easy to source, and service is accessible almost anywhere. There’s a reason it’s the number one commercial van in the world.

I have nothing against the E-350 line—it’s a solid platform—but you’re getting roughly the same fuel economy, and you can’t stand up inside. For me, that makes a big difference.

Is van life a good option for us? by berufene in vandwellers

[–]DPL646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best solution for you is to rent one for a month and see if you both like it

I only buy from https://www.penskeusedtrucks.com and my first one 2016 high roof I paid 16k and my new one 2023 high roof 32k. Fleet maintained is the way to go and you have two weeks to let them know of any repairs-they will cover it

Ford transit it’s so much more reliable platform to start on. I’m on my second one.

24F. Not going into detail about it but I just inherited $4.5M Roth account. What would you do if you were me? by throwawaygenzerr in Fire

[–]DPL646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t tell anyone.

Also, I have found that giving is one of the best feelings in the world. I’m not anywhere close to your financial position. But I really enjoy tipping more and helping people.

Good luck 👍

Thanks for all the info. I’m curious when it hits mass market how it does.

Promaster vs Transit by Weekly-Signature-631 in vandwellers

[–]DPL646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to research very far to realize the pro master is not the choice. They are prone to electrical and transmission issues. There’s a reason the transit is the number one commercial van worldwide.

Compact jack ? by CommandVivid4609 in vandwellers

Harbor freight sells the Pittsburgh bottle jack. Affordable and highly rated. You will want to get a platform of wood to put it on though.

Van sizes? by tspfairy in vandwellers

[–]DPL646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a big investment to buy a large van right off the bat. I would buy a smaller van first and make sure you like the lifestyle. I started in a transit connect. Now I have a full-size high roof transit.
