  • I don’t expect anything but a van to be able to carry a full sheet of plywood, but I can do 3x7 inside my car now, and bought a trailer for full sheets

    it’s the 8 footers and general length and height of rear hatch that concerns me. even my outback is pretty low, a regular hatchback loses another few inches and that’s too restrictive on the hatch dimensions

    I have accepted that I may need to just up my budget and buy a Volvo instead of a beater-adjacent vehicle









  • hmm, I’ll have to look at that range for my next vehicle.

    for my preferred budget, I’m looking at 2010 to 2015, but that’s mostly because they stopped making economical wagons after that point (Toyota Matrix and Hyundai Elantra Touring are what I’m looking at)

    it seems like even in that year range, once you get above the low cost vehicles, they start introducing shitty tech. but I haven’t looked closely enough at things in the last 10 years to see how they’ve progressed year to year, because frankly it’s just more money than I want to spend
