TDW 1274 - Update On My Van : Mileage , Memories , Etc

0:03 uh welcome everyone out of the woo here

0:03 just cruising along I'm actually going

0:05 up to vacuum my van out we have not had

0:09 a van Vlog in quite some time my finger

0:13 is very itchy I don't know why soon as I

0:15 press the button on my phone my finger

0:16 started itching like you ever like

0:19 instead of scratching your finger do you

0:21 ever bite your finger like

0:24 yeah I don't know but this guy could

0:25 stay in my room I'll tell you that much

0:32 it's my second channel daily Vlog

0:32 channel it's the daily woo and I am

0:36 actually in

0:38 root in rout right now to clean out this

0:42 Beast of a machine that I have had for a

0:45 long time now it's a 2006 Ford

0:49 E150 is the brand of vehicle that I

0:52 drive and I got this in 2007 it had

0:55 1,000 mil on it so it was basically a

0:58 new vehicle I guess who who had it

1:00 before me was basically just the Ford

1:03 dealership and they probably drove it

1:05 around from venue to venue or to clean

1:08 it up or do whatever so it only had

1:09 1,000 miles on it so it's pretty much a

1:12 new vehicle when I first got it 2007 and

1:15 it's now 2015 almost

1:18 2016 it's been paid off for a couple of

1:20 years in fact part of the reason I

1:23 started to travel to do the

1:26 videos was because I paid my van off I

1:28 was working at a feed store

1:30 and once the van was paid off and I was

1:33 debt

1:34 free I hit the road Jack don't you come

1:38 back no more no more no more no more

1:41 What If there really was a guy named

1:43 Jack that hit the road and never came

1:45 back ever no more wonder if that was

1:49 based on a true story or not so I'm at

1:51 this I'm at

1:53 this Vacuum Center Place Car Wash I'm

1:57 not going to vacuum my van I'm not going

1:59 to wash my van I'm going to I'm going to

2:02 actually just vacuum it I'm not going to

2:05 scrub it down but I wanted to show you

2:08 guys a little bit about the van some

2:10 people are always asking

2:12 things about the van so I'll give you

2:15 guys a little run through of the van I

2:17 do this occasionally how many miles are

2:20 on the van people always ask me how many

2:22 miles are on the van well the answer is

2:25 182,780

2:32 you I don't know if you can see it

2:32 through the through the dust that has

2:35 created right there but

2:38 1,825 182

3:02 50s if treated correctly if oil changes

3:02 are G gotten at an

3:05 accurate or an average pace and you keep

3:08 up with the vehicle maintenance you can

3:10 actually get probably 300,000 miles so

3:12 keeping this vehicle is probably a good

3:14 idea I have done Vlogs of the past where

3:16 I asked based on gas mileage based on

3:20 things like that should I keep the van

3:21 should I get rid of the van and I'm

3:22 always on the fence should I sell the

3:24 van but there are so many

3:26 memories back in this van would you like

3:28 to go back in the van and see some of

3:30 the memories some of the memories of

3:31 course are big the foot who has been

3:34 here for quite some time and he's

3:36 actually had these bag pipes on for a

3:39 while as well I have this mirror this

3:41 extra large mirror here which I actually

3:44 got years and years ago and it mounts

3:47 over the front of the regular rear view

3:49 mirror and I have a South of the Border

3:51 sticker there Mickey Mouse a penguin and

3:54 I have this little guy here which is my

3:55 good luck charm see him he's a little

3:59 good Luck get good luck charm and his

4:02 name is actually lucky you can actually

4:04 see his name is actually on there by the

4:07 name of Lucky lots of interesting stuff

4:10 in here we got Salvador Dolly over here

4:12 we got a couple pins there the new

4:14 threat which is my band we got Mr Fusion

4:17 up there we got all these pins up here

4:19 we got this Disney license plate we got

4:21 this guy out here cleaning his car which

4:24 is what I should be doing I should

4:25 actually be scrubbing down my car so

4:28 let's jump in the back you can see kind

4:31 of what's in the back let's go back

4:33 here it's very hard to get over the top

4:37 of this I have this

4:38 cooler here there's a cooler which I use

4:41 kind of as a seat and you will also

4:44 notice that I have two bags of mulch

4:46 back there and those have been back

4:48 there for a while I need to take those

4:50 out and actually dump those into my

4:52 little flower garden that I have in

4:55 front of the homestead one of these is

4:57 actually starting to collect mold

4:59 there's actually mold developing inside

5:03 this bag here's my sleeping bag my 0 deg

5:06 sleeping bag and I noticed the other day

5:08 there were some cobwebs starting to

5:10 develop back in here there are so many

5:13 memories inside this van you can see how

5:16 the van is very scuffed up you can see

5:19 the sides of the van here are very

5:20 scuffed up lots of scratches even the

5:24 tent the limo tent that I got basically

5:27 to ward off anyone a parking lot or

5:30 police officers looking in to notice

5:32 that I was sleeping in here when I used

5:34 to live in my van travel around in my

5:36 van I got the limo tent you can see

5:39 that's starting to get scraped off and

5:41 that is because I toured in a band for a

5:42 long time so between doing videos I used

5:45 to be in bands and I would travel across

5:48 the country I would have the seats in

5:49 here and all the equipment was back here

5:52 the Bas amps the drum most of the drum

5:55 stands for like the symbols and whatnot

5:58 would actually scratch up up the van so

6:01 there's a lot of scars and with scars

6:05 come memories and this van is definitely

6:08 full of lots and

6:11 lots and lots of memories I got some

6:14 water down here some bottle water in

6:15 case I'm ever thirsty and I can't stop

6:18 off at a store real quick to get

6:19 something to drink I always have my

6:20 water there's a lot of good stuff inside

6:22 of here and I really like this I kind of

6:24 lived by this motto a little bit when I

6:27 was traveling and sleeping in my van

6:29 look at this if you lived in your car

6:33 you'd be home by

6:42 now which is pretty much me for a very

6:42 very long time pretty much this was my

6:45 home you can see I have some toilet

6:47 paper here in case of emergencies and

6:48 paper towels and some trash bags and I

6:51 have some booster cables which I used

6:53 recently not for me but because somebody

6:56 actually needed a jump from their

6:58 vehicle and luckily I had those under my

7:00 seat there's some trash up here as well

7:04 oh look at this it's been so cold lately

7:06 that I actually have this I actually

7:07 wore this the other night look at this

7:09 cute little hat with these little little

7:11 twirly things on it there I got some

7:13 Disneyland tickets up there and stuff

7:16 like that I got some

7:21 CDs you want to see what I've been

7:21 listening to the last week or so I

7:23 actually got this at a thrift store this

7:24 band falling sickness the sca punk band

7:26 kind of similar to Operation Ivy kind of

7:28 an unknown band band that I used to love

7:30 back in the day I found this at a thrift

7:32 store and I picked this up at AA records

7:35 Minor Threat the last Minor Threat CDI

7:37 hag was really scratched up and I got

7:39 this used for like seven or eight bucks

7:41 up in Hollywood amibo Records I got this

7:43 at a thrift store The Sex Pistols live

7:46 pretty cool it's kind of hard to find

7:49 and then I also got this at a thrift

7:51 store for like a buck you two of course

7:53 a lot of good songs on this I still

7:56 haven't

7:57 found what I'm looking for

7:59 the Joshua Tree album This is actually

8:02 the pump that used to actually inflate

8:05 in the back I used to have an air

8:07 mattress which is now actually inside my

8:09 house in the closet and whenever guests

8:12 come over they can use the air mattress

8:13 but I used to use this to inflate the

8:16 air

8:18 mattress so that's it man a lot of

8:21 memories inside this van actually let's

8:24 just let's discuss this for a minute I'm

8:27 siding with never getting rid of the van

8:28 basically I'm going to drive it until it

8:30 croaks the problem is Southern

8:34 California is geared towards smaller

8:38 Vehicles a lot of the parking spots are

8:41 smaller traffic is worse so it's very

8:44 difficult to drive this large vehicle

8:48 around do you think it's wise I just

8:51 want to know your opinion do you think

8:53 it's wise for me to maybe sell the van

8:56 even though there are memories here

8:58 there are scars that are mean memories

9:02 in my mind and in my heart and this this

9:06 this piece of metal and

9:09 steel has a lot of significance in my

9:13 life and for the process of where I have

9:16 come so far in these videos do you think

9:18 it's good to keep the van or is it

9:20 something that I should get rid of now I

9:22 do not have an area where I can store

9:24 van and get a smaller vehicle that is

9:26 not an option there's no way I could

9:28 have another car bre basically it's

9:30 street parking where I live so if I got

9:33 another vehicle I would have to get rid

9:34 of this one should I keep the van suck

9:37 up the gas mileage just deal with the

9:39 fact that this thing gets 12 to 15 miles

9:41 per gallon or should I get a smaller

9:43 vehicle I'm leaning towards not getting

9:46 rid of the van but I always always want

9:49 to hear other people's opinions and

9:51 other people's sides to the stories if

9:54 you will so leave some comments down

9:56 below and we'll talk about that also

9:58 there is a thing called fuel the woo

10:00 people always ask how do you put gas how

10:02 do you put gas in this vehicle that has

10:06 almost

10:07 190,000 miles that has been to 46 of the

10:11 48 continental United States in the last

10:13 two years how do you put gas in this

10:16 that all comes from two different types

10:19 of avenues there is Adam the woo.

10:21 spreadshirt.com I get a percentage of

10:24 the money if you buy a shirt you get

10:26 yourself something that you can actually

10:28 wear you can get an ad of the wo shirt

10:30 and in return I get a small portion of

10:32 what you have spent on the shirt that

10:34 goes into an account and quarterly every

10:36 3 months I get a deposit into my bank

10:39 account and most of that goes right into

10:42 this van for filming Vlogs and filming

10:46 main Channel videos on the Adam the woo

10:48 Channel and then recently I started a

10:50 patreon Adam the woo on patreon just

10:52 Google it I have kind of hinted that I

10:56 did not want anyone to donate more than

10:57 five dollar I'm keeping a $5 Plateau so

11:01 if you do not want a T-shirt and you

11:03 want to help fuel the woo put gas in

11:06 this van and patreon is your thing just

11:09 letting you know I have a patreon as

11:11 well but if you so choose to do that

11:13 please keep that at a $5 or less minimum

11:17 all right so I have answered a few

11:19 questions the biggest question is how

11:20 many miles are on the van the other

11:23 question is do you still have the van

11:24 and yes I still have the van I drive it

11:26 all the time especially up to Los

11:28 Angeles Los Angeles from here is about

11:31 30 miles in traffic takes about an hour

11:33 and a half I would guess going to like

11:36 Hollywood and Burbank and back cost me

11:38 probably about $30 in gas 20 25 to $30

11:44 in gas depending on traffic so that's

11:46 kind of the rough estimate of gas prices

11:48 so when I film a vlog up there that's

11:49 about how much it cost for me to to get

11:53 up there so that's about it love this

11:55 van so many memories inside of this van

11:59 in this seat in this seat in the back of

12:03 the

12:05 van it's crazy how you can become

12:07 completely like part of your vehicle

12:10 it's crazy how your vehicle can become

12:13 part of you and part of your life and

12:16 memories everything is a memory and I'm

12:18 glad that you guys are joining me in my

12:20 memories not only about the van but in

12:24 my everyday occurrence occurrences and

12:27 Vlogs and things I do it's a beautiful

12:30 thing that we have created together

12:31 today this circle of goodness and I

12:33 really appreciate the support I'll see

12:35 you guys tomorrow goodbye
