(holy YAP ahead) TEST DROVE A VAN TODAY. I think she's the one.
I. AM. SO. EXCITED. my DREAM has been to buy a van, which ideally was an old automatic toyota hiace that someone's done the dirty work of putting the bare bones of utilities in, AND BOY HAVE I FOUND HER.
a 2003 toyota hiace with a bed, a sink, AN OUTDOOR SHOWER MECHANISM?? solar panels??!! a mini fridge???? we're just adding anything at this point because WHAT. and the cherry on top, she's got freedom camping license!!1!1! SHE'S GOT IT ALL.
met the seller today, I've had my eye on this van for a few months now, but I thought something wouldn't work out, it felt too good to be true. I took her for a test drive not thirty minutes ago and she is WONDERFUL. I'm gonna be smart obvi and get an AA test (THIS WEEK?!?!?) which means that my dream of OWNING MY OWN VAN could be coming true NEXT. WEEK.
my long hard hours working for minimum wage are about to pay off, and pay off BIG TIME.
