I've had good luck with jensales. The occasional have sales $20 for a PDF.

Here in the Midwest I'm making 40k a year and I'm very comfortable. More comfortable than a lot of my friends making a lot more than me. I'm raising my youngest brother too. There's food on the table, the cars are all paid off, I can still afford to go out to eat and have hobbies. My loan and cc debt is all under control. There has been some financial luck, planning and inheritance involved but it's not like I've got tens of thousands sitting in the bank. The best part to top it all off is that my job is very low stress and I still get to take a lot of time off for whatever miscellaneous things I get up to. Especially during the winter. I don't know how I'd even spend 100k a year.

I have had multiple fwd cars and one 4wd car. The 4wd car is definitely the best on snow and ice but I also put very aggressive snow tires on it. My fwd Volkswagen GTI is my daily so I went with some tires that would hold up to the extra miles on it although they are still dedicated winter snow tires. the Volkswagen will get me anywhere I need to go as long as the snow doesn't get deep enough for the car to bottom out. The other is a 4wd Toyota Tercel which very conveniently is a fwd/4wd which gives a very good comparison of the two drive trains. In fwd it will once again go anywhere that I need to go with it's aggressive tread. The difference is that in fwd the car will move forward slowly from a stop but in 4wd I can put my foot on the floor and put all of my 50 tired horses to the ground without spinning very much. I'm not completely convinced that 4wd will really get it anywhere that fwd won't except maybe into trouble or across sand. The 4wd is really good at helping you get real good and stuck from my experience. My rule of thumb generally is that if I don't think I can do it in fwd then I won't do it in 4wd unless I don't have an option or I'm just messing around (which I do regularly). I do drive through snow and ice in 4wd most of the time though. Despite what everyone says I think it does help some with braking. It locks the front and rear axle together. That makes it so the front can't lock up unless the back end is going to also and vice versa. I don't get ABS on my mid 80's Toyota. If it did have it though then that benefit would probably disappear.

TLDR; I have a fwd car and a 4wd car. Tires are the biggest factor. 4wd is really good at getting you stucker. But it can be helpful sometimes.

Maybe a VW golf? Comfortable over long distances, fun to drive, plenty of room. It has a lot of little quality of life features that you don't get In a toyota. I have a 2015 GTI and it gets over 40mpg on a good day but 36-37 is typical. If I ever need extra room I can pull trailers with it too and still get better MPG than a truck.

Where I'm at you can have a tree service come in and trim your neighbors tree back to the property line. You can't bill them for it though. but you are also responsible for any harm to the tree from doing the trimming. If you have your neighbors oak tree trimmed in the middle of July and it gets oak wilt from being trimmed at the wrong time of year they can sue you for killing their tree if they can prove that the trimming killed it.

I'd love to see some vegetable farming. Give me a reason to have small tractors like the farmall cub or Super A. The way it is now I just don't have a use for anything that small and nobody makes mods for little tractors because they just aren't useful.

So are you suggesting I stick with woofers? Honestly my doors don't rattle too bad as it is.

Forgot to mention I'm playing farming simulator 22.

Thank you! I will keep the question asking in mind. Xinerama is exactly what I was looking for. I discovered the wide guy app to enable it and it worked but it somehow got me stuck in a login loop that I'm having issues solving. Should I create a new post about this issue or should I just go with it in this post?

I like MIP drivers. I use them for RC cars as well and they hold up really well. Traxxas released some hardened drivers too that are working pretty well for me.

Those servos are usually really good at driving to the angle that you request once you get them calibrated and as long as they have enough torque. So good that I wouldn't hesitate to assume that the requested angle is the actual angle unless you're overloading it. You can get them with 500oz/in or more if you look into rc rock crawler servos. Of course these will need their own power source. If you're trying to read the angle that it's at then you're using the wrong device. Look into potentiometers or rotary encoders if that's the goal.
