My work truck only clocks in at 1700. I might hit 2100 when I've got myself and all my tools loaded up.

I legitimately think my truck would break in half if it got hit by an EV.

It'll be beyond the environment.

Oof yeah, if you work IN the van, standing room would be fantastic.

Right now I have work tables I flip out of my truck bed that all my stuff goes on. If I had to fabricate things on the fly more often, I'd definitely want the tall enclosed space. Slap an exhaust fan on there and good to go.

I imagine it's great for cold days and rainy days, too...

When you stop giving a shit about stuff like this, are you officially "old"?

Uhhhh asking for a friend...

Yeah, that's one thing I don't get, and am unfamiliar with catholic dogma, so why is it okay for saints to be literally idolized by modern catholics? Or is it one of those "no true Scotsman" things...

In my experience, Christians view their faith as a tool they can use by twisting it into a cudgel and beating anyone who disagrees into submission.

Whether they're consciously willing to vocalize that on the other hand...

I'd like to have one, actually. There's a few with a sloped front that allows for way better visibility that get great gas mileage.

Everything is expensive as shit though...

I'd love to get an Electric van. I don't need the huge amounts of height some have, it seems trucks get wider and vans get taller. the enclosed cargo space is great for peace of mind, though.

In a perfect world I would get a van with a small frame and small forward silhouette, with no hood or sloped hood, that sits no more than 8ft off the ground. Having a higher suspension, or the ability to raise the suspension for better off-road clearance is nice for some jobs, but not strictly necessary.

Hi, I use a truck daily for work.

If I could trade in my current truck for something more economical, with similar cargo space for the things I actually use it for, I'd take it. Can't afford a new vehicle, but if I could trade my truck in for one of those stubby EU type trucks, whose beds are almost the same size, I'd do it.

I used to love bombing around the winding roads in the middle of winter at night, you can see people coming for a mile down the road and can go fast. It was fun. I don't need a big 2,000lb monstrosity to get the same feeling. An ebike and woods will do it.

pattern buffer

I've checked the logs myself, there's no anomalous readings from the pattern buffers. ^Shhhhhhh^

how much he feels like placating my catholic mom lol

Please tell me she has, at least once, made a reference to "your people killing my savior"

I know an ethnically jewish/religious catholic couple that do this every time they get into an argument and realize it's stupid to argue about, one of them will go "WELL YOU KILLED MY GOD!" and that's basically the end of the argument because they're too busy giggling.
