    Been living/sleeping in my car since late August 2022. It's a 2010 Hyandai Elantra. While sleeping in my car I've managed to get completely sober off drugs/alcohol (almost 7 months sober), I've gotten hired from temp to full time employment with really good benefits package. Mental Toughness has dramatically improved as well as my discipline. I have a gym membership at planet fitness and that's where I take my showers and Hygiene but I've also developed a solid workout routine that I stick to Monday thru Friday. My eating habits are much healthier now, lots of fruit, nuts, and tuna. I just use a simple small igloo cooler to store my food and keep ice in it. Your camaro is awesome bro! I actually got some tips from watching your video. Thanks and stay safe out there!

      Sounds awesome and congratulations on getting sober!
      There certainly is a high in being clean, at least that's what I've found to be true.
      On a personal note, may I ask you what kind of work you do?

      Hello,
      Please if you don't mind me sharing, there are " SAFE PARKING" PROGRAMS IN SOME AREAS LIKE LOS ANGELES CITY OFFERS THESE you can get a case manager to help you get housing, and they have a safe place for you to park to sleep or be in your car and the reserved areas for certain times I believe it's 7 days a week in L.A. County Los Angeles CA USA you can call 211 and they should give you more information and specific details. They also offer a pretty decent place to shower etc.

    EXCELLENT JOB!! A spray bottle with white vinegar works GREAT for “doing dishes.” No water needed! You can rinse them with water afterwards if desired.

    I've been living in my car since January 2023 for different reasons. The rent is too expensive were I live and I was fired from a good job only four months into living in this state. My credit is shot because I couldn't pay my bills for months. I found a place out of state that will give me a place to live but I just need to save for a few months. I understand the struggle man. I do have a job but it's just enough to save to move in a few months. I recommend you get a gym membership. I'm able to shower everyday at my gym an take my cloths to the cleaners for work. It's been challenging but I found a way to make it. Stay strong an be safe out there.

    Carbon monoxide and propane leak sensors are nice. CLean burning propane should just make CO2 and H20. But an open flame also removes the oxygen you breathe from the air, do you have a low oxygen sensor? I'd reccomend cracking the window at least.

    Hi I saw your Roman noodle video it's best to not use the packet of flavor because it's mostly sodium. You can get olive oil and Italian seasoning in a bottle or garlic powder. I really am glad you bought a small refrigerator. If you drive to Bay ridge Brooklyn you can park on Shore Road by the water it's very safe and a good neighborhood. The steak looked really good. I laughed when you opened your window and went to show the butcher you cooked the steak in your car, very original.

    Aslan, I couldn't keep my milk in the fridge here. I love my coffee with milk though. Go and get the powder milk, or even the little half and half cups they don't need refrigeration! Every time you get gas grab one. Each time you go through the drive thru you can get it. All Starbucks ask for a small cup and go to the creamer station and fill it up for free. Or they will make you a steamed milk for one or two dollars. They never asked me why I have a rewards card. I always told them that I make Starbucks at home, but don't have any cream left! If anyone here likes Cappuccino just ad Swiss Miss or even Breakfast shake powder to your coffee as a hack! Happy Travels!

    You might want something to block the spray coming off the pan like some sort of tin cover. Something that folds up and have a top over. Might make it a bit more tricky to cook but you run less of a risk of ruining your interior. Other that, very creative.

    I went to a Banquet today at a steakhouse but our only steak choice was Sirloin. I don’t eat sirloin but on the way out I was able to stop by the restaurant’s in-house Butcher Shop and buy a petite Filet Mignon (6 oz.).

    Hell ya man, I just subscribed. This coming summer I will be on the road also for awhile living in my car. This gives me hope that I'm not the only one out there doing it.
