Most of the vanlife stuff is obviously staged. Living on the road makes you dirty, smelly and fat if you do it for any length of time. |
You obviously didn’t have an office chair/jumpbox thing in your van

Holy shit bud! That intro where he pisses himself and gets locked out had me rolling! I don’t ever watch these vanlifes, but that son of a bitch is funny. Thanks for sharing

"i don't want to get into the gory details of why it didn't work out"
she probably figured she'd had enough time on the road and didn't want to keep shitting in a bag and just wanted to settle down with a more normal life but buttonhead's ego wasn't going to get out of the limelight yet. her clock is ticking and she probably wants to fire out some kids.
didn't watch the whole thing but after a lifetime of chasing pussy i'm willing to bet that is along the line of what happened. too bad he's back to doing the knuckle shuffle on the piss pump and getting mouth hugs from whatever dregs of society he may encounter

When I read the subject line title, and then saw skillz' had posted a response, I knew it was going to be good.
But, yeah, I'm sorry to hear Leah isn't going to be around.
I had beers with them at Buses by the Bridge a couple years ago, and they seemed like they always had a great time together.

To the contrary.
She seemed like the adventure seeking, free spirit that wanted to experience life through seeing new sights & things, not tied to a fucking VW Bus spending countless hours of setting up, posing, & editing to make into weekly installments of faux freedom beg-a-thons.

could be. that's an angle i hadn't worked out.
not sure if she was a professional bum before she met derp the train wreck or not as i have followed zero of the videos except for a few minutes here and there while i was on the shitter waiting to wipe.
either way, she's better off. something tells me he wasn't much into compromising unless it had a direct benefit for himself.
oh well. now he's free to slay all the unwashed pussy he can stand (barf)

As a consultant since 2003, I only use 100s in off years.
I made 6x what my last company trained me and paid me to do, plus I get to write off the Bookers and Hloe.
I have to say the best part was seeing my old bosses going past me in first class on their way to coach.

My 90 year old Mom didn’t feel grifted when Robbie stopped at her house and made a very professional repair to her Golf steering angle wiring for onehourvlabor, vs $1800 from the VW dealer.

so robbie is carrying ODIS or VAGCOM with him? because you 1000% need it to recalibrate the SAS on those cars not to mention a very big parking lot to run the adaptations

Since that didn’t happen, I have no further information on that scenario.
Anything that can be fixed with money is a dip Shinola problem, though. I learned that in neonatal intensive care at age 30 watching two newborns trying to breathe while others died around me.

Good thing that you stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night.

I think its just nuts to put your life out there on display like that? I mean WTF, I was raised to not air your laundry. We all do at times, in different ways to different people, but this is right there, in your face for what? Views? Likes/shares?? I don't think so this time.
Remember the first girl before her? Well this one was different. I know she was.

Why is he still always working on the bus? He got a FREE Pat Downs build CB engine, Pat even installed it and tuned it. He also got a FREE Rancho transaxle. That thing should run like a top!
