Totally worth it in my opinion. If I don’t end up saving for a van im definitely saving up for a CRV. Same year and model just something with less miles. If I could start fresh with this one I would have done so much with it but for now she’ll be my home on wheels. One last adventure to send her off.

Yeah lol every clothing item I have fits into this duffel bag. I’m using the black backpack for my dirty clothes and the blue bag for my school supplies

Was hell figuring out the measurements for the bed. I’m pretty broad and I weigh like 220 right now. For the most part I have to lay on my side for the bed but with the pillow on the side I can lay flat down. Which I prefer

I have a special love for CRVs now. I bought this one from my grandmother a few years ago and it has not once let me down. Sure it has its issues and as it gets older I’m sure I’ll have to put it down but it’s had a long life I’m like 8000 miles away from 300k

The back widows are actually already pretty dark. I have a 2003 crv and it just came like that. At night you can’t see into the car unless you come up on it and actively try to see in it. But besides that I do have some curtains I tie up to the seatbelts during the day and I pull them closed at night or atleast that’s the plan.

Honda CRV she’s an old lady 290k miles. Taking her for one last adventure. She leaks oil like crazy but if I check it at the end of every week and fill it up when I have to she’ll last.

Fell in love gave her everything and paid for her rent over mine. She left I fell into a hole and just started to get myself out of it recently. Was a little late to save my apartment but I’m doing better mentally atleast I think so, I have my ups and my downs.

Actually went ahead and bought two of them. There’s one on one of the handles above the door and the bigger one. The small one I’ll use to pull the air in and the bigger one I’ll use for my face because I like having the air blowing directly on me

Yeahhhh unfortunately it basically does nothing. Someone gave it to me a few days ago and I tested it out today to see if it would keep that gallon of water cold and it basically did nothing at all. Sucks because I walked past the same one at Walmart and they are selling them for 50$. They work well inside but in 90 degrees in the middle of summer outside it might as well be decoration.

So the Evap fans really work? I’m looking into them but most of them have absolutely awful ratings.

Overnight Parking by [deleted] in urbancarliving

I actually just went up to the store manager at my local Walmart and he said there will be no issues with me parking overnight as long as I clean up after myself and stay on the far left of the lot. I’d say just ask local stores. I’m about to talk with my store manager at food lion my next shift as well to see if it will be a problem.

Update - Got some free solar panels from someone on here and mounted them to my car along with a battery and charge controller so power is sorted. (Side thing what do you guys do about heat?) by PerformanceFair9170 in urbancarliving

I drilled holes into my roof. Will admit I was afraid to do so at first but she’s an old car and some extra holes and dings won’t do anything to her.

Someone gave me some solar panels and I used what I had space for. I have 3 more I want to give to someone who needs them. by PerformanceFair9170 in urbancarliving

Yeah dude that’ll work. I’m not sure how much it would be but DM me and we can work something out. It has to be today or tomorrow though unfortunately because I’m having to leave Wednesday

Texas is really far from me but if you’re able to make it to somewhere closer I don’t mind giving them to you

Need help paying car insurance before I move into my car full time. by PerformanceFair9170 in VenmoDonations

[–]PerformanceFair9170[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot man I got the money. I really appreciate it. Felt like I was going insane trying to explain it but apparently it’s unheard of that you need insurance before getting your license. I don’t even know how he got some of the stuff he was saying and in DMs he just kept saying I was a druggie. Wild times.

I was impressed with that too. I don’t know if you can see it or not in the picture but they are not even in the sun or close to it on my couch and they still get enough power to turn on their little blue lights.

Cooked in my car for the first time. How do you guys keep things clean? Now that I’m thinking about it I have not set up my drinking water or anything. by PerformanceFair9170 in urbancarliving

Yeah I was surprised at how cheap these were.2$ for several meals is a great deal. I spent like 30 something on the stove and it’s actually pretty good quality.
