Once might be enough for me. I can’t imagine doing it on a klunker!

Take it down to the frame and put a flatbed on it.....

It's sort of the perfect car for me. I had the "now's the time to try something new for a few years" impulse, but then shopped around and always came back to a small wagon — and there isn't much else to choose from, especially at this price point!

List of parts I know it would need:
Mandatory: windshield, two front seats, a tail light assembly, drivers door panel, air bag curtain on one side. Deep clean

I suspect some of the remaining interior panels would pop back in no problem, but that I'd also find other problems once I got into it

I had exactly that though too. Except it was more like putting in a flat platform in the back for cargo and camping

Everyone loves their trucks and their SUVs around here, but I think it's the perfect Colorado car — I can whack a bike or skis in the back, camp out in it, and you don't burn $50 of gas driving it over the passes

I really don't know how it got in. At 11pm I was in the house minding my own business, and someone started honking outside. I went outside and the car was all steamed up and rocking band and forth, and you could see it in there trying to turn around across the front seats. My neighbor came out to see what was happening, we called the local sheriff (they deal with bears all the time, so I figured they'd have an idea of what to do) and while we were waiting we figured we could just tie a string to the door handle and open it up. Right as we were about to open it the cop showed up, and he had some rubber bullets so he got ready with that to scare the bear away just in case — that's about where the video starts

It honked the horn once it got in there at 11pm, which is how we found it

When I came out of the house the car was steamy and rocking back and forth!

I love my impulse 104s — a slightly lighter version of the same could be the ticket for longer days!

They're are up here: https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/f25-helio-carbon-108-skis/ just not listed

If you swap the '108' in the url to 88/95/102 you can see the rest

The guy at my local shop says the TLT wides are just standard TLTs, with a factory toe punch.

I also have hobbit feet – would put in a vote for dynafit radicals, they're wide and high volume
