He did pick a color. White.

Where U am at, we are saturated with experimental transportation.

Do whatever looks good to you. Lipstick on a pig, is ? on your ?.

When China is saturating our market by selling tires as a loss leader, politics go out the window. I don't care about the conspiracy to control our market, and the long term effect on the economy. I am getting cheap tires.

I just did an oil change, and it wasn't that bad. There is a splash guard which you will need a T27 torx bit & and a tool for the plastic pop rivets. This creates a few more minutes of work. The drain plug and filter are easily accessed once you get under the car. But I get what you're saying. With age, our physical abilities diminish. After a lifetime of scoffing, I finally bought a creeper to ease sliding under the car. I actually don't need it. But I couldn't resist the one that Pep Boys had on sale for $11. $39.99 $14.98 Sale Price $11.24 With Promotion Big Red Plastic Creeper Part #: TR6240P| SKU: 9160211

This is the best time of the year to buy a Christmas tree too.

In my truck, I still carry a Thomas Guide. I know a guy who still uses a Franklin.

I can honestly say, that in all of the restaurants I've dined in, in Northern & Southern California, I have never seen a grit on the menu. Come to think of it, I don't even remember the last time that I saw a grit for sale in the market. Must be a Left Coast thing. Grits just aren't a part of California Cuisine. We're too busy eating granola.

It sounds like if you do the proper paint prep, you should be able to tackle this yourself. No problem .. Rent a car. Shoot your van with paint. It will dry & cure while you are on your trip. By the time you come home, you'll be coming home to a new van.

B3000 is a Ranger, right? In U.S.A., I drove a couple of Rangers, and friends had them too. I really liked them until the prices went up. I always thought that 1/4 ton pickups should have an 8'X4" bed, even if they can't carry as much weight.

Everytime I cross the local bridge, the GPS shows me in the water like a boat, with the bridge about 1/2 mile away.

You can take those pieces off the van. Just like the tail lights. 2 screws. Take them off. Paint them. Allow paint to cure. Mount them back on after you're satisfied. You can drive around for a few days without those trim pieces.

Add a porthole.

A Craftsman 3/8" ratchet handle (part no 43175) w/ an oil drain plug socket (GearWrench part no 3874). A Craftsman oil filter tool (part no 20523) which uses the 3/8" ratchet handle, and/or a 3/4" wrench. A ChannelLock tongue and groove oil filter plier (part no 212). A Craftsman T27 torx bit (part no 34488).. A trim panel, pop rivet remover from Lisle (part no 35260). I don't know if you will be able to find any hand tools Made In U.S.A. today. A lot of people believe that tools Made in U.S.A. are better. I like having more than 1 option for removing the oil filter. In some cars, you are challenged with different angles and limited access. These 2 tools are what I've learned to like. I've used other oil filter pliers, and it seems like only the ChannelLock brand really grips and holds onto the filter. Others I've tried would just slip & slide. The tool which grabs the filter from the bottom works very well. My brother in law, who tried a couple of other less expensive versions (all Made in China) claims that the Craftsman one is the only one that grabbed on, held, and did not slip off. I've only used the Craftsman, and never had a problem. Everyone has their favorite when it comes to ratchet handles. I have Snap-On, but yet I reach for the Harbor Freight most of the time. The one in my "oil change bag" is a relic my dad handed me. "Here, you'll never see Craftsman Made in U.S.A. anymore. Take this one." I think he was right. I hear that Craftsman is now Made in China. This one isn't all that great. It could be longer for more leverage. More than once, it was too short. But it's working. I hear that they do break, and that there is a rebuild kit. Although I can't recall rebuilding a ratchet handle. Only one I've ever broken was the Harbor Freight brand, and they just give you a new one. Everyone I know thinks that those oil drain plug sockets with a magnet to hold onto the drain plug, with the "kung fu action grip", are a gimmick. But it does do what you need to. It keeps you from having to spin off a hot drain plug by hand. And the drain plug won't accidentally drop into the oil pan. Plus it's nowhere near the "rip-off" of Snap-On 9/16"–15 mm 12-Point SAE/Metric Pan Plug Wrench 51.75 USD Item: S9615A

Looks like your jack is on sale.

Sounds like too much work. Not much meat on a pigeon. Here, we simply roast them. I have a rotisserie. Good. But still not enough meat.

Any incentives to shooting wolves & coyotes? I hear that in some states, there is a bounty on Nutria.

I've considered adding a rooftop unit to the Transit Connect.

Every jurisdiction "manages" wild life in a strange way. In The Big City, pigeons are protected.

In the USA, it will get "Chicken Tax" added to make it overpriced, so we'll have to buy a Honda made in Ohio.

She's not spending a lot on purses and heels either. My kind of girl.

Santa Cruz! I'll be seeing you on the road. High 5.

That is how you know when you are reading a good forum. The threads go off topic.

Interesting. I've never gone STD shopping. Luckily for me, in all of my years, I've never purchased an STD. Back in The 70's, we had an LTD, which was sort of the poor man's Pimp Mobile.
