    I don’t have a computer.
    Everything I do is from a tablet or my phone.

    I have been wanting a laptop, but I just don’t want to spend the money right now.

    I have an IPhone and IPad.
    The IPhone was a hand me down, because my old Samsung S4 stopped keeping a charge.
    I think it’s an IPhone 8? I don’t remember. It was free, so I’m not complaining.

    You can get a Windows PC for a few hundred bucks. Chromebook for even less. If you want “something,” don’t necessarily need to spend a lot.

    $800 for my Dell Inspiron, plus about $600 in hard drive and RAM upgrades for free from my buddy!

    The Caravan I have any experience with wasn’t too good.
    My Aunt had one (she’s only a few years older than me)
    Apparently since I’ve been known to work on my vehicles, my family thinks I’m a mechanic.
    And they used to call me all the time to “come look at their cars”.

    That van had issues. Everything from suspension to transmission.

    The craziest thing wasn’t actually a problem. My aunts husband called me and said, “the van wasn’t running right”.

    I told him I come look at it in a few days (even though I didn’t want too).
    Well, I didn’t make it over to look at it before he called me back telling me he was having it towed.
    The van took off and wouldn’t stop. The accelerator was stuck.

    Some how, a cap off a bottle had gotten onto the throttle body and jammed the throttle open.
    WTF?

    :rofl:

    My parents bought a new townhouse at the end of the summer in 2007. In the summer of 2008, whenever the downstairs A/C came on, there would be a sound that literally sounded like a plastic bottle thunking against the inside of the metal duct. That house had two separate central A/C systems, one for upstairs and one for downstairs, and the system making noise was downstairs. After several days of this going on, the distinctive sound was louder than it had ever been. Finally, I went over to the vent in the dining room floor, pulled out the register, and reached down into the depths of the duct...

    I pulled out a dirty Deer Park bottle that appeared to have been there since the house had been built less than a year ago! If learn anything, it would be that Toll Brothers hires slobs to build their houses, including the HVAC contractors...

    Coy and Vance, which was the beginning of the end for the series; Catherine Bach wanted to leave for the same reason as John Schneider and Tom Wopat, but they convinced her to stay, citing that the series would be cancelled if Daisy Duke herself walked off the set.

    I also remember a short lived Smokey and the Bandit TV Series in the 90's, the Bandit had either a Black Dodge Stealth or a Mitsubishi 3000 GT.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    The magic was gone. I know it's supposed to be the magic of Hollywood but once I see something that is contrary to the story being told, I lose interest. It's fake and I can't process it as real anymore.

    For instance, look at NCIS. It's supposed to take place in the DC area; Maryland, Virginia, etc. It obviously isn't. When they show Jethro and the gang driving to "Falls Church" or some other obscure Mid-Atlantic location, they are actually driving on the same lot the filmed the dukes at. It looks nothing like the Mid-Atlantic.

    MacGyver was the same way for me. Loved it as a kid, can't do it as an adult.

    Only the first season of the Dukes was filmed on location if I remember correctly; Hazzard is fictional, but they filmed in Covington, Georgia. The former location of the Boar's Nest can still be visited, but there isn't anything there at all...

    My advice is, don’t get any.
