dang. there's so many good things in here. stuff that I also have and really appreciate (electric toothbrush, cast iron, aint got one, but that older Tacoma is a boss truck...)
least stupid or most practical?
right now, I'd have to say the 36 year old VW van I bought was a very NOT stupid move. Needed some work, got it on the low. Since July I been learning how to do mechanical and electrical work. Learning about engines. fuel systems. This process has boosted my confidence and ability in fixing not only this vehicle, but anything that needs fixing or overhauling. On top of that, it's enjoyable to complete the project for the day and take a drive or even just know that I did it.
