    Been trying to find a new car, and realized that out of all the things I’ve been looking for in my new vehicle, I realized I forgot one very important thing. At some point, I could become homeless, and might need to live out of my car, so searching for one that has a fold-down backseat to put a mattress is key.

      If you don’t do a lot of highway driving a Subaru Sambar van is awesome and they’re dirt cheap to import. Next year the 1999 models will be available and they’re very improved for safety features compared to the 1998 ones.

      When the Kei Vans were first made they made being able to fold the seats down flat into a bed a big priority because of how high rent was in the 80s and 90s in Japan.

      Edit: I should mention that the improved safety features is that a front crumple zone exists at all, it’s still not safe, but it is a lot better than the older ones.
