    The Felicia atomix posted is front wheel drive. The space the spare wheel sits in is actually some of the space freed up by not having a differential and solid axle underneath you. Really quite beneficial. I keep my tow rope and jumps cables in same space although my high vis, jack and jerry can don't fit. Jack is wrapped in high vis and strapped to side of the boot anyway (there are straps in my car). Jerry can bounces around.


    You could make a custom bottom with some plywood anyway, glue carpet onto it and make some inserts to organise the crap under the false bottom.

    Don't forget you have to remove a section of the boot to install that

    Yeah. A longer, flatter trunk is a lot more usable than what you see in a crown Vic, even if it may be smaller.
    Like, say if you want to put a big picture frame or something in the back. Crown Vic trunks are this awkwardly shaped rectangle that goes way down into the bottom of the car. A longer, more flat trunk would be better for that.
    But if you need to haul a bunch of apples (idk), then you could definitely fit more into the crown Vic trunk.
    And, yeah, I've thought about making my own. Might do so if I can't find one of the ford oem things. The only thing that keeps me from making my own is that the oem ones are so nice. You can move the little dividers around inside it and stuff.

    I don't trust people who don't swear. I feel like you must be a bottled up serial killer who is trying his very best to conceal the 300 dead bodies in his cellar by acting so sweet & innocent. If someone straight up called me a cunt I would feel more comfortable than if they just came up & offered me a free hug. :p

    And that ain't even the wagon.
    Also you can fully fold the rear seats to have a tiny van.

    Rear seats in the crown Vic don't move. They should. It's probably because of the suspension assembly and shit fixed between the trunk and the rear seatback.
    You wanna start talking about wagons?

    Hehe, should check out a friend of mine then. She will not swear even when playing cards against humanity, instead she gets someone else to read the card. I know for fact that she ain't so innocent :p She also gives free hugs.

    I on the other hand had a guy telling me I need therapy, reason why, he'd been tallying every single time I swore over a period of half an hour and ran out of room on the page (although it wasnt an empty page to start with, it was still alot).


    Oh, someones views on the friendzone which I agree with (this came up in facebook newsfeed, is a situation I have been in (actually alot probably have) and one I think many take the worst from rather than the best from): http://wendycorduroy.tumblr.com/post/56412126932/thoughts-on-the-friendzone
    Or the tl;dr version:

    I bet I could fill an entire notebook over half an hour of editing someone else's code.

    We all could, except I wasnt editing someones code at the time

    Although my standard thing when helping fellow students in Java labs now is to sit at their pc and "control shift fucking f" because the shitcunts apparently havent heard of indentation or worse still, use inconsistent indentation.

    the friendzone is only as bad as you make it.

    so what if you get rejected and only can be friends? if they said yes because they feel sorry, it just leads to a frustrating breakup later, which will feel even worse.

    i'm kind of in that situation atm, but it happened early on, and we kind of dated in a way, but now it's back into the friendzone. i honestly am okay with it, because she wasn't ready to legitimately be in a relationship and she's not any different to me as a friend, so it's aight.

    hell yes it would be great to actually end up in a relationship with her, but i don't want to have a stressful partner who isn't ready for something like this (anxiety in general, mind is not really very in order atm).

    yeah it hurts for a bit initially, but it only hurts for as long as you allow it to.

    Precisely, in my case she wasnt single (and few people knew at the time anyway, I literally had no way of knowing without asking right up if she had a partner, do now consider her partner a friend too though). Now, close friend.
    Is that a thing to get all depressed and angry at? Nope. Ultimately we've come away closer friends than we were, and that is more than enough.



    Its the friendzone for a reason...

    You mean they couldn't fit the couch that is literally as long as the car's wheelbase?

    No way.

    I wonder if moving my rig to the other side of my desk will improve internet connectivity any. I suppose that's an OK way to waste an hour.

    No it won't. Unless your Wifi range is 1 meter or something.
