But more expensive and makes me tear my ACL and break clubs.

I raised my a-hole kids bad and they seem to like it. The amount of clickedy clicking they could be doing in the meantime? What a waste. They could be tweeting against Trump or Trudope or peepee or how gutted they are about the atrocities in Myanmar, but noooooooo. Whack stick? Really?

I did, It was probably half torn but practice swing on a sharp slope didn't help. Got scoped by the Flames Ortho as a bonus.

Part of the mystique of this thread is that half of posters seem to earnestly reply to gripes, and the other half of us just make looney half-ass positions to see who will bite on them.

Plymouth voyageurs are the real deal. Mine was dark cherry red (BROWN) and had the built in child seats. It's a miracle I didn't die.

Goddamn farking Fairstone Lenders or whever the hell they are, really grind my gears.

We've been in this home for almost 11 years. We STILL get mail for the former owners. I have marked return to send/no one here by that name/this person not at this address, everything I can think of, on ANY mail that shows up for them. Still getting mail for them and still getting this Fairstone crap. And you can't bloody phone them without going through some CIA bullpucky to get through to them - because I tried, was going to holler at them to take the address off their mailing list. I've spoken with Canada Post, who claim they cannot do anything about it. For the most part now, any mail we get for them, I just toss in the recycle bin because if they haven't changed their address by now (it isn't just Fairstone we get their mail from), and Canada Post claims they can't do anything about it, then into the trash it's going.

But it annoys me that it keeps showing up. I tried the phone thing today - "this is not the number but if you want the number, press this and press that, spin in a circle counter clockwise, say 3 Hail Marys, sacrifice a goat, blah blah blah blah." Website says they have a chat program - nope. Website says you can chat with them on Facebook - nope, no chat on FB either.

So, I looked these people up on google. Shows the wife working at some place a few blocks away so I've readdressed the envelope to the business. I also wrote the address for the local Fairstone office on the back (because Fairstone doesn't put a return mailing address on their envelopes) so if the workplace doesn't want it, then they can send it back to Fairstone. I've tried that myself, readdressing and sending it to the local Fairstone office with a note written on the envelope that there is no one at this address but no luck. I'm going to make it her problem at work now.

I just would like to get these stupid places that keep sending stuff to stop sending stuff, when they've been told to.

We had a five seat Voyager back in the 90's while our kids were little. Sold it because 4 door chev pickup. I still miss that little white beauty. Even had a red interior. Only unfortunate part was that it had the big 4cyl Mitsubishi motor.

And as long as we're arguing trucks and camping, I love my SUV, best vehicle we've ever owned, I'd buy another one after this, in a heartbeat. We have it for hauling the girl's wheelchair & other mobility aides around in, but we go camping in it all the time now. Moved the travel trailer home, into the gated back yard & use it for company these days. I'd tent camp if I wouldn't wake up crippled and barely able to walk from the ground dampness, but the back of the SUV has been great. We've got a super comfy mattress that fits in there perfectly and have an entire set up figured out for everything else. Camping is whatever you want it to be.

Im challenging the view that you need an RV to go camping. It’s a view point that’s widely held these days. The whole series of logic that goes from I need an RV so I need a truck is based on a bunch of decisions where people use the word “need” rather than the word “want”. If people want to make retirement delaying financial decisions they definitely can but when someone says I need a truck to pull my RV it isn’t a need. Those are wants.
I think you make a lot of stuff up in your head. Get out more. Lots of people still tent camp.

They were all effectively the same goddamned Van ya pedantic bastard!

I just meant the white van with the faux-wood paneling and the beige interior.
