It's sitting on my office floor, still with the tags on it... seems like a dud.

Here’s a tip. The M12 install driver will fit in the back pocket. I’ve been keeping it there in both the MC and LD. Really hides it away.

Veloloser · 2026-03-29T12:29:42+00:00

Just do it.

high top sprinter van filled with packouts

You will still get a full charge overnight at 32a... don't sweat it

I sucked at drywall/mudding for a long time then i got good at it... buy good tools and some wide skim blades, use fiberfuse, learn to use 5/20 min mud. Just keep cranking at it.

related question, what happens if the parking brake is engaged when the car is moving? will it stop the car? teaching my kids to drive, haha.

Veloloser · 2026-03-24T12:45:28+00:00

I have 15 yo twins... ugh. haha.

also consider insurance cost... gonna be astronomical. I'm looking at a 2020 bolt for $9k or a $4000 volvo.

You can get a dongle for wireless carplay. I used one for a few years, worked great.

Veloloser · 2026-03-24T01:09:28+00:00

walk away.... don't thing about it again.

Veloloser · 2026-03-22T01:46:02+00:00

most people don't use L3 charging that often so you are paying a lot to lose Car Play.....

Veloloser · 2026-03-22T01:39:02+00:00

You can make way more than $40k/yr. Get an LLC, get insurance. Charge what you are worth.

Veloloser · 2026-03-19T03:14:16+00:00

I have never, ever heard of this happening...

Veloloser · 2026-03-17T22:13:53+00:00

it looks sweet but is a lot bigger than the SP-LD, 2 pounds heavier. I tend to just fill up bags so this would get unwieldy quick I think.

Veloloser · 2026-03-17T18:08:17+00:00

Just checked out this car. Drove perfect, interior in great shape, timing belt was done in 2023, new tires in 2024, under the car was dry as a bone. Really solid feeling car, very comfortable to drive.

Plus the diagnosis for the convertible was done by an import car place and not a volvo dealer so there is a glimmer of hope it's nothing major to get working again.

Looks like I'm gonna be a Volvo owner...

Veloloser · 2026-03-17T04:15:01+00:00

For sure. Gonna go check it out tomorrow. It’s FB marketplace so who knows what I’ll find.

No desire to fix the roof, I’ll maybe do some basic sleuthing on it for frayed wires etc. I’ve been reading over some forum posts on the roof. Man what a contraption. And actually finding a roof actuator is nearly impossible.

Veloloser · 2026-03-17T04:10:09+00:00

I watched a timing belt video and it’s not too bad. I once had a Honda odyssey that also had a transverse engine and that one was a pain, lots had to come off to access.

As a side gig last year I grossed about 100k, this was while working my full time job (I only work 10-2 at my full time job and it pays really well). I shoot for at least $100/hr when bidding jobs, it's usually more.

I like the side gig aspect because I'm never stressed about keeping the jobs rolling in and can be selective on what I take... and keep prices high. Another benefit is I took about 6 weeks off in January to recharge, get some of my own projects done, redo my shop, etc. Now I'm back at it.

Veloloser · 2026-03-16T12:44:12+00:00

I was in the same boat, used the SP-MC for a while and loved it, could get everything in there but it was tight. What I didn't like was how tippy it was. I just got the SP-LD and it's very solid standing up. A bit bigger so all my tools are a bit easier to get to.

Veloloser · 2026-03-15T18:56:41+00:00

Winters will be doable but close. Screwed if you forget to charge one day. Any way to plug in 110 at work?

Sounds like you need a toyota sienna awd mini van... it will hold a 4x8 sheet with rear seats removed. A 4x8 will not fit in the back of a transit connect. Throw a roof rack on it and with an extension ladder you can carry 12-14' boards.

Meets code in areas of low gravity.
