Paul:
If you can believe this, I ALSO had a Mazda GLC. The best little
car I ever owned. I took out the rear seats, and the passenger seat,
and put in plywood platforms. I surrounded myself with all the tools
and supplies. I'm sure it looked ridiculous, but it served me well for
years.
I will admit that a lot of what I carry doesn't get used often. But
if I have to do some touchup, and the right supplies aren't on hand, I
can't do my best job. Another thing is, I don't have a garage to store
stuff in, and my wife can't stand to see it around.
As it is now, I get such bad mileage out of this van that just about
anything is better than what I have now. I've sunk a lot of money into
the van thinking that if I could just get it running right, I would get
better mileage. Sort of like gambling. Throw in a little more money
and maybe you'll get it all back. It never works. So, I'm looking for
something newer, and ready to cut my losses on this old van.
