car

Has anyone here had any experience living in an all-electric car? I lived in a Prius for a few years. I loved that car. Compared to living in a backpack/tent, it was a mansion. But eventually I left the US and had to sell it :( I'm looking at rubber tramping again, but this time I'd like to go...

Hello! I'm Moss/MOSFET and I'm 22, from the DC/Maryland area. I currently live in my Corolla but I plan on going out west to Arizona when it starts to get too cold up here. I want to travel but I have some stuff to get done here first, like update my ID and make plans with a friend who may be...

Hi, local weirdo enby burnout here. I'm in bit of a mixed bag situation, things are real weird for me, and kinda always have been. I was one of those ghetto kids who ran the streets at 3am breaking into abandoneds with fellow deadbeats, so I'm not entirely helpless. But at the same time, we...

Hi yall, I am a nonbinary Korean looking to live out of my car starting March 2024, so I can focus on my creative work which includes research of Korean postcolonial subcultures, writing a sapphic body horror story, and learning holographic art. I've been working at the local public library for...

I’ll be soon hitchhiking for the first time and wanted to ask one thing. Where do you sit in a car for 5. Do you sit as far from driver as possible? Or do you sit right next to him? I can see pros and cons for both of options.

Not sure if this is the most accurate place to post and hoping this post can get the most views here. I need my Prius Prime driven from Los Angeles, California to Flint, Michigan (or close by place in midwest eg Detroit Chicago we can talk about it) sometime mid February or earlier. Looking for...

Hey guys, first post here, relatively new to living in my car. I just got to New Orleans from Florida Bc it wasn’t the vibe. I want to stay here for a while and work/save my money. I am concerned about my car being broken into, mostly Bc I can’t afford to repair it. I read online having things...

I've been thinking about making this for awhile and had some time this afternoon and threw it together in about 5 minutes after I had all of the materials needed. Pretty easy concept and not really an original idea I guess (I've seen camp showers similar for sale on the South American Jungle...

hi all :) I've been living in the woods for two years and I'd really like to start travelling once winter is over. I got my license late, 5 years ago and haven't owned a car for most of that time so my insurance is always high. I haven't really kept up with insurance in the last while... how...

I just found out that its possible to cook as you drive from place to place. I dont know that Id say its healthy or ideal, but if youre in a pinch, maybe its worth a try.

This CNN article exactly describes what i have exprrienced as a pedestrian. If you drive an expensive car you may be a jerk, scientists say - https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/26/world/expensive-car-drivers-study-scli-scn-intl/index.html Fuck the rich i am ready for the revolution!

So I'm finally selling the car i was living in for the past year, as I'm saving up to buy a school bus to convert into an RV: https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/austin-2008-toyota-prius-187k-rear/7081737959.html From the craigslist ad: ------ Parting with one of the best vehicles I've owned...

In my dreams I am dirty, naked and free. And then I woke up and I was STILL dirty and naked but some costumed megalomaniac was spit shining his boot with my mouth and definitely on the lookout for any attempt at "free" Born in the sign of Cancer. I don't put too much stock into astrology. I...

Hi All! Shoestring Hobo was hit by a car!:(Hope he gets well. He is suppose to meet me in Milwaukee next year summer.

I just posted my first YouTube video in nearly two years! I take you on a tour of my setup for living in my toyota prius hybrid electric car. Let me know what you think! Man, after not making videos for a few years this took a lot longer to put together than I expected. Made a LOT of mistakes...

Looking at something like this Everyone knows I'm a recreational camper mostly, but I rage-quit my job earlier this year, and since I'd saved up a decent amount of scratch, I'm taking the rest of 2019 off as a sabbatical before I find a new job.. I'm finally at the point where I'm ready to...

Ok, recently there was a thread about what do you do with your bags when entering a shop that says no bags allowed, an I guess this question could be slightly similar in ways, but anyway.. The general question here is, what do you guys do or have done with your car/automobile when squatting a...

Has anyone done this? Purchased a somewhat junker cheap car for traveling and driven it until it was on its last legs then sold it to the scrap heap and started hitching or other forms of transportation at that point? I can see some down sides if it breaks down in the middle of now where and...

Homeless newbie in car. North east Ohio. Broke and hungry. Not supposed to be driving but really no choice. Be cool if someone joined it's lonely af. They could drive. Scared at this but have faith it's gonna be a fun adventure. I'm 44 chubby guy what could go wrong.

A Little Mini-Adventure from the days of Cruising Main Street in Downtown Hopkins, MN It was late at night, around midnight, and Hopkins town was thinning out. I had a car load of girls ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old. I was over 18. It was a hot night and we had all the windows...

so i have been living in the southeast working up a little money while also building a wasteland inspired car. yesterday was the annual mainx24 parade and block party in town. so i drove through it.

I drive a lot and travel very frequently by car. I’d rather avoid cops at all costs if possible. What are the best apps for finding them. Waze has the best one I’ve used so far. Radarbot is ok but doesn’t work well in my part of VA. I already know about avoidance driving so to speak and am...

should I wait and buy the van in or around the slabs in ca. Where I live in arkansas people want them for hunting etc so they go for lots of money. Would I be better off to wait and drive my little car there or get the van here? I also am on disability and was wondering if any of you can let me...

Who else is interested car-dwelling (or using a vehicle besides a van/RV)? Why I'm using my hatchback: - Being a 5'4 person, I already regularly nap/sleep comfortably in this vehicle during roadtrips. - I already trust this vehicle to run reliably and I enjoy driving it. I've already spoken to...

I know I need to stop but I love the drug, I hate what I have to do to get it I.e. Steal and what not. I'm a nice guy, I give rides and do what I can with what I have. I just have an addiction. Anyways nice to meet y'all have a good one if anyone's out in south Sacramento send a message!

According to the California Highway Patrol, the driver explained that his Tesla electric vehicle "had been set on autopilot," obviating the need for him to be in control of the vehicle or, well, sober. The driver had a blood alcohol content nearly double the legal limit and a tenuous...

I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer. I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

Ever been stuck in the middle of nowhere in a country where very few speak the same language as you? At the end of 2015 I ended up in Africa, I'd always wanted to go pretty well anywhere on that continent and found an affordable way of getting there. It was at the end of a long trip that took...

I took a Greyhound bus for a cheaper way to travel across America (Spent about $80 for around trip to Atlanta Georgia and back to West Palm Beach Florida). First time was not so bad. The second time was like being in a Third-world country. Willing to take my chances Hitchhiking, I need some...

So I like being dirty, but not riding dirty. Anyone know how this whole insurance thing works? I'm looking around at all these different companies, and I don't want to request a quote from all of them, since they run your credit everytime you do this. Are there specific things to put in a...

I randomly came across this video today, and I figured that it might be quite useful to those of us who are of the rubbertramping/homesteading inclination. :D

I key less website will ship you keys to any car but the keys are sometimes expensive. Walmart website will ship you an auto slims for $12 which can be used for opening many older cars. Lock pick shop website will ship you car jigs for $24 which work for starting many cars. I actually don't...

I'm going on the road soon and deciding whether to just hitch or to try to live in my car which is just a hatchback. If you had this choice, which would you pick and why? I figure, car provides shelter and quick transportation, but costs a lot. Hitching is way cheap, but you're subject to the...

Sorry I didn't know which section this best fit under, Basically I'll be leaving some time this month and wanted your guys' opinions on if I should keep the car or sell it. I plan on hopping mostly and I just don't wanna fuck with maintenance and insurance and gas and all that. Be nice to...

If the last month of my life is any sign of the year to come, it’s going to be one hell of a year. I really had no idea what to expect when I got back to Slab City. It started on my last night in Austin, Texas. After having a few goodbye beers with my friends, my now ex-girlfriend Tapley walked...
