Discuss: How to Live in Your Car

Brian, I really liked “The Greatest Nature Essay Ever”, but this one could have benefited from shorter sentences. I criticize because I care! :)

Reminded me of Ken Kesey’s attempt to get ONE FOLD changed in half-gallon milk carton construction to facilitate their recycled use as panels in a geodesic structure that he had brainstormed with some friends… and how the paper company turned him down. A $100,000 recycled steel house wouldn’t be “a steal” in my mind… it’d be more like a “stolen-from”.
I spent 4 years in a schoolbus with my wife & 4 children… a bus that cost $360… and was a comfortable abode. I still have it. 2 of my children used it as their ‘transition’ home, as they moved out & into their own lives.  ^..^

Somehow this seems more appealing than living in a $360 schoolbus.  Call me crazy….

This is my favorite bit: it’s “an SUV house that drives like a Prius.”

This made my night!  I love hearing stories of such ingenuity, particularly when the idea can reduce the waste stream.
