I've done that as well. Used the magic mesh screen material so I can still get a breeze... that worked okay but any kinda real cross wind during the rainfall and the raindrops would turn into little tiny drops that were more annoying than soaking

 

This is one of those 'If it's stupid, but it works, is it still stupid?' moments.

 

It only looks stupid, but I've totally done it.

 

Yep. Living outta van, I've tried this as well


You have the issue of the cross breeze again.. securing the handle on the inside becomes awkward and in the way so you'll end up just resting it and boom! There goes your umbrella down the street

 

Yeah wind is hell, maybe if you loop the wrist strap of the umbrella around the window crank.

No window crank? Sucks to be you

 

I won't buy a vehicle without window crank option

In before someone calls me a boomer


I honestly didn't think about that because the strap was too short and it was one of those travel umbrella I got for free so I didn't put any thought into


I just went with regulating the window height depending on conditions

 

lol. I had very little choice when buying my taco, but _everything_ is manual and that makes me so happy.


I think my last improvised rain shelter was a motorcycle, some rope, and part of a rain fly on a tent. No wind, so I was good. Also, I was wearing rain gear, so maybe I didn't notice how awful my shelter was.


I wonder if this is why people doing the #vanlife buy the vent fans.

 

Necro quote!!

Fuck that fill plug!!

 

That joke bombs

 

"my camry can do that"

 

Rube Goldberg's seesaw

 

You hanging out under the bridge again?


If you need money there are better ways to earn it

 

Me and the bois would hand out under a bridge by the highschool

There was a pipe when the canal was low we would walk across, I never fell but saw a couple people take a swim

 

Uninterestingly the back half weighs nothing I put it in neutral with the handbrake and pushed it off

The utv side by side things I was showing up also got hung up in the same way

 

I'm just trying to irradiate some laughs

 

I'm having a blast

 

New belts And an oil change. This bish should be ready to deliver pizzas again.

My buddy has put 100k on this 3k Jetta lmao

 

100k is a lot of tips

I average a dollar a mile most nights when working

 

I may of put a decent sized order in for parts for the 01 taco... she may be ready for the engine and trans sooner rather than later (trans needs to be sent to Florida to get done). Hoping to have frame completely ready for the body at the latest spring, body work I’m on a waiting list. Body work might not happen till summer, guy doing it is busy as all hell because of people’s COVID projects
