Oof yeah, if you work IN the van, standing room would be fantastic.
Right now I have work tables I flip out of my truck bed that all my stuff goes on. If I had to fabricate things on the fly more often, I'd definitely want the tall enclosed space. Slap an exhaust fan on there and good to go.
I imagine it's great for cold days and rainy days, too...
I'd like to have one, actually. There's a few with a sloped front that allows for way better visibility that get great gas mileage.
Everything is expensive as shit though...
I'd love to get an Electric van. I don't need the huge amounts of height some have, it seems trucks get wider and vans get taller. the enclosed cargo space is great for peace of mind, though.
In a perfect world I would get a van with a small frame and small forward silhouette, with no hood or sloped hood, that sits no more than 8ft off the ground. Having a higher suspension, or the ability to raise the suspension for better off-road clearance is nice for some jobs, but not strictly necessary.
Hi, I use a truck daily for work.
If I could trade in my current truck for something more economical, with similar cargo space for the things I actually use it for, I'd take it. Can't afford a new vehicle, but if I could trade my truck in for one of those stubby EU type trucks, whose beds are almost the same size, I'd do it.
I used to love bombing around the winding roads in the middle of winter at night, you can see people coming for a mile down the road and can go fast. It was fun. I don't need a big 2,000lb monstrosity to get the same feeling. An ebike and woods will do it.
Don't get me started on Away Missions....
Cool. Buy me an electric vehicle or shut the fuck up.
You know, you just might be on to something.
I doubt they have at any point bothered to look at a weather report though.
You are correct.
My in-laws are bitching about "how bad" the weather will be after it makes it's way to Ohio.
I understand losing power for a few hours is irritating, but have some fucking perspective. You can go see actual devastation with a single tank of gas.
[X] I'm in this picture and I don't like it
I haven't played a live service game since Destiny 2 decided to completely remove all the shit I paid for, then lock everything new behind even more pay walls.
I've been playing dozens of games since then. It's not hard to find games that aren't live service and likely won't be touched outside of stability and a couple QoL things here and there.
I'm all for laws requiring all games to be playable offline, and without any sort of bullshit "online activation". I paid for a game, I want to play the game without having to download shit first. I want to play the game whether my hanky-ass internet connection is stable or even nonexistent today. I want to be able to use the thing I paid for without having to jump through extra hoops, no matter how large or "on the ground" the hoop is. It's still a hoop.
NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR
My work truck only clocks in at 1700. I might hit 2100 when I've got myself and all my tools loaded up.
I legitimately think my truck would break in half if it got hit by an EV.
