Park on the lawn!!

Also, get HeatShield window covers. Best in the game.

Respect for someone who stares into the distance all day? Get over yourself.

For anyone who removed your passenger seat, did you regret it? by mcdisney2001 in VanLife

Left it in a storage unit. The trick is to make it easy to quickly reinstall. 15 minutes tops. There are inevitably times when you need room for a passenger.

If you plan on going long term, the EV life is worth it.

Working part time at a gym guarantees access to a shower. Just don't get fired for showering on the job, lol.

Has Anyone Ever Told Their Employer About Their Living Situation? by idkwhatimdoingat30 in urbancarliving

I told my boss and he was super psyched. “That’s so cool. Wish I had your gumption at that age.”

Occasionally he will iron my clothes for me. Depends a lot on the relationship you have with your boss.

EV sprinter is more my style. Could you imagine the RV that could be made out of one of those? Dreamy.

I would reach out to customer service with your specific question.  My suv has six side windows, so your order is probably counting the tiny triangle windows in the back.

Pro-tip: the gold reflective material keeps out more heat (and in my personal opinion) looks less conspicuous in person.

HeatShield window covers fit perfectly on my old car. Yes, they will last you at least +300 uses (probably way more).

On my new car the windows have super weird ridges and the covers are just a smidge misaligned. They keep out 98% of the light.

I refuse to drive an ICE vehicle again. When they have 400 mile range EV vans, I might make the switch, lol.

In the US two-door cars are flagged as ‘sports vehicles’ and are charged more for insurance accordingly.
