Sometimes the income doesn't support the outcome. What better way to get ahead of the fiscal power curve than by spending a few months in your automobile?
No rent or mortgage, no electric bill, no utilities, etc.
I know you are thinking: But, MikeD, I don't have an SUV or a van. All I have is
a compact foriegn sedan! Where will I sleep?
Enter: MikeD's Car-to-Home Conversion kit.
The kit includes an insulative foam matress designed to run from the dash to the rear passenger seat, (once the front passenger seat has been removed), with a custom molded bottom that conforms to the floor board. The kit also includes custom foam insulative pads that adhere to the windows, windshield and back glass via suction cup technology.
In a few hours you can convert your car into a comfortable and cozy mobile home.

Hmmm. So, the sleeping area is the space between the back
seat and the dashboard? Is that enough? Or does it include
the back seat? |
|
| |
Also, how do you drive the car once it's been converted? |
|
| |
You don't. You get your chauffeur to drive it. |
|
| |
you miscomprehend, [8th]. I asked how you drive the car,
not how one drives it. |
|
| |
[MB], the sleeping area includes the passenger side back seat. You will need the other side of the back seat to use as storage space for things you want to keep handy, like a toiletry bag, a few changes of clothes and a towel (of course). |
|
| |
Driving is no problem, unless you are incapable of driving without resting your arm on the passenger seat. |
|
| |
Something tells me he might be. |
|
| |
Well, it's not easy. The damn thing is more of an
encumbrance than a help when driving, especially if the
batteries for the thumb are flat anyway, and it's a lot easier
to take it off. But it needs to be kept nearby in case, for
example, I need to make a gesture to someone passing me
on the wrong side. So yes, I do usually find it simplest to
rest it on the front seat. |
|
| |
Almost baked - see link - but that isn't quite the same because it goes on the car, not in it - but it does sort out [MB]'s problem (the original problem, not the 'resting on the passenger seat while driving' problem). |
|
| |
I was thinking rather than taking out the front passenger seat, one could recline it as far as possible and then the foam could be moulded to fit over it, perhaps fitting in and out in door-sized chunks. |
|
| |
You'd probably want to weld the passenger door shut, or at least harden the lock somewhat. A bookshelf under the bed would raise it almost to the level of the window, while a sawsall would enable a "hallway" to an easy chair, perhaps a small dinette set, under a raised trunk lid. |

You can pick up a deuce'n'half for a few grand. |

That JERRV is one tough sob, [21]. It's actual IED defeat abilities are classified, I'm sure, but I can tell you: You wouldn't believe what it can handle. |

I've been inside a Cougar. Not so much usable living space. |
|

I drive a Triumph Spitfire when I'm not riding my bike. I'm 6' tall. I can see the chiropractor's bills easily outweighing the rent savings. |

So many bad jokes, so little time... |

If the rest is so expensive there.. get an old used VAN. |
