He could totally sleep in that car if he had to.

No dedication.

Wow, I really thought you'd green light sleeping in the Stang

I guess it would be a step down from that spacious tdi you Dimbyd in one year.

The Golf does have a bunch more laydown space. I could try folding down the seats in the Mustang but I'm thinking it'd be a bit shorter

Yeah, I have zero interest in trying to sleep in the Mustang.

Hell, I almost got trapped in the back seat once as it is just cleaning the inside of the rear window.  [laugh]

If you bust out the Crisco, you’ll end up in the same condition as that south park pic you posted.

Well...

turns out the Chevy I was looking at wasn't a 5.3, it was a non turbo V-6 which definitely wouldn't haul our camper, and because of the delay the interest was going to kill me.

I'll be picking up a '15 F-150 XLT 4 dr with the 3.5 ecoboost next week.

Pretty much what we bought less a few options [thumbsup]

No issues with mine and I'm almost to 60k.

The 3.5 makes a bunch of torque.
