VA for now
I got a crazy idea in my head that I need to drive around the country to trade shows and drum up some work. I miss being on the road, and WA is getting gross again.

I am looking for minivans to help keep fuel costs down. I have heard some good things about toyota minivans and they are supposed to be solid reliable. If you have any first hand experience with them, I would love to hear your input.

Not minivan but they're usually cheap.

I'm livin in a Scion xB 09'

We've got the back seats down and some blankets under us. It's mad comfy, only a lil cramped. I sleep with a pillow under me, my gf doesn't N says she's perfectly comfy.

You can prolly find one for 2-4/5k. Mines juuuuust under 200k miles, driven across country maybe 4 times in it? No mechanical problems besides the clutch, but it lasted a lot longer than it was supposed to. I've had it since 2011 and I've put maybe 1.5k into it. Last thing, after a certain year they don't have Toyota engine's so research.

"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much . . . because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting.
... I had thought--I had been told--that a "funny" thing is a thing of a goodness. It isn't. Not ever is it funny to the person it happens to. Like that sheriff without his pants. The goodness is in the laughing itself. I grok it is a bravery . . . and a sharing . . . against pain and sorrow and defeat." Michael Valentine Smith
