    Pluffen are you considering selling? Please let me know if you are.

    since the acquisition i purchased an AWD transmission of off craigslist (at least that's what it was advertised as an AWD);
    subsequently found out it was actually a 2 wheel drive tranny.
    played it cool, returned the transmission for my cash. (whew!)

    the front passenger seat is now facing backwards (adding another seat in the "living room").
    and the sleeping accoutrements have been seriously upgraded (full size 4" thick memory foam mattress and a double wide sleeping bag).

    hello consensual sex van!

    sadly my gear-whoring ways have made it difficult to save enough cash to get the tranmission fixed.

    but, i do have enough socked away right now, so i'm trying to stay focused on the van.
    i made a $1400 offer on a reallllly good looking Yeti 575 earlier in the week (the guy was firm at $1500).

    so ....

    new MTB or fix the storm chasing van?
    Drive slow, homie.

    Whoa, blast from the past!


    I ended up selling it to a coworker when I was rustling up cash for the down payment on my new WRX.
    Did a big gear dump and all told I raised almost $3000.


    He has it running, and has done fair bit of camping in it, but sadly he's not a snow guy.
    However I know that he's poached a fair number of parking lots in it.
    Now that I think about it, I think it might be his primary residence.

    I traded with Sinfield.
    The Van for a pair of 195 Praxis Pow + $500.

    I was sad to see it to, bit it was good to simplify.
