I was out of work when this went down but now I’m gonna be getting paid good at a warehouse with 24 hour parking. I honestly might just keep doing this as long as I can. $1,200 a year for car insurance beats $1,200 a month for an apartment.

I do know what kind of car to get now (thanks to this video)! But do you know any four door sedans slightly longer and bigger inside? I'm 6 foot tall and I doubt the Cavalier would fit me even with the trick you showed me. Please let me know, and hope you're having a good day or night, whatever time it is!

Thank you, great video. I have decided to give notice where I'm living and to live in my car so this was really helpful. I stayed in my car last weekend after being fed up with having to drive back to the same location every day lol. My work is moving and I'll have to move closer but the rent is unaffordable even to live with others which I can't do because I'm so allergic to fragrances and chemicals and are common in every house. So after realizing that I can live by myself, save for a larger vehicle, be close to work, and wake up wherever I want, it's all I can think about!

I thought about removing the passenger seat since I don't have anyone. It's such space, and a little bit of tint for your windows also, get a damn gun, it's like a condom, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Get a sleeping bag for those -20F nights. A (two, 2L) thermos would be cool too for waters in the middle of the night, also, fill the other one with hot water, then pour it in a jug when you need extra heat inside the sleeping bag. As for those late night poops, it's the gas station. Best of luck
