Indeed. I'd read through it before asking for more info. The carliving.com site you linked to was interesting as well. Though it's no longer online, it can be accessed via web archive here: CarLiving.com - The Survival Guide to Living in a Vehicle

It's heartening to see so many people considering other possibilities. About the only time I'm in my car is when I'm driving somewhere or sleeping at night. Otherwise I'm off doing something I enjoy. It's made me much more active than before, as I can't just loaf around the house. Most mornings now I wake up by 5:30 without an alarm clock to the sound of birds chirping. When I was more shielded from nature by a home I was apt to sleep until 10. If it were freezing outside I'd likely consider other options, and luckily I DO have other options, whether it be getting a good sleeping bag, moving in somewhere, or heading for a warmer climate for a couple months. Warm weather works wonders for one's mood.
