I'm a surgeon, sitting on trauma call, waiting for that kind of sh**t to happen and then I open a forum about my favourite hobby and see this nonsense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It certainly kills any good vibes that're supposed to be here here.

Try switching on your brains for a while and think about the fact that globally, more people die in the traffic than in wars. This is a fact recently found by a British research team.

Good night and safe driving. (and flying)


Dang Bjorn,

You all right, man?

I've got one big question...How do you fit your planes in that tiny car?
DUDE..
This is my dilema.

I can get 1 of my 30% planes and my toc profile and thats it.
And my 30% planes start at the windshield and angle back to the back window.

My 33% has a removable rudder, so its from the trunk to the windshield.

I have been seriously considering a small trailer or a mini van.

Thing that sucks is I have to find one that is is decent shape that I can buy cash.
As you can imagine from this post, insurance costs SUCK for me.

I can afford a $350 a month car payment... but then my insurance payment is like $759!!
(full coverage on a loan)

So I have to buy cash so I can just have lialibility insurance which is still over $125 a month.

So I'm looking right now for a mini Van for around $4000.

Finding some, but most are POS. I will wait and find the "teal" ugly one that has 50K miles and is in perfect shape that Grandma Jones owned before she couldn't drive anymore for $3500.

Anybody have any leads??

Also. i would do the truck thing, but I would need a extended cab, and I just don't see me getting a truck like that for $4000. Seems like its easier to find mini vans that are 1/2 way nice for decent money.

Sad part is... how this hobby changes your life.... if you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would ever own a MINI Van... i would have beaten my self up...
Now i drool over them !! Life is crazy!

LOL!

I know what you mean, I drive a full sized cargo van. If I didn't need the van for work, I'd own a mini. A buddy of mine used to haul all of his stuff in a pick-up with a cap. He finally broke down and bought, what he calls, " his soccer Mom mini van".
