Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
So we are trying to sell a lot of things. Remarkably, it is cheaper to sell items and buy new in Texas than it is to keep them and pay to move them. I am not sure why I am so surprised at this but I am. Since I have access to an electronic bulletin board at work, it was my job to post what we had for sale and what we were asking for it. I consulted the wife on some things but for the most part I set the prices. This was a mistake and based on the wife's reaction ("You sold WHAT for HOW MUCH?") I think I should have consulted more. Suffice to say some people got some deals, but hey at least we don't have to move it! This argument did not work on the wife by the way.
I posted pictures of everything I had to sell but pictures really don't tell you how big something is. I was repeatedly asked what the dimensions were on various items (bed, computer table, entertainment center, etc.). I guesstimated as best I could but one guy did not ask for dimensions, he asked me if my grill would fit in a Yukon. Now I have never ridden in a Yukon, or even seen the inside of one so I really have no idea. So I said, "Sure, you bet!" Not really, I IM'ed the wife and had her go out and measure it (gotta love technology) and gave him the exact dimensions of the grill.
So this got me to thinking (queue thematic music), wouldn't it be cool if there was a website like www.will_it_fit.com that would tell you these kind of things. Just two pieces of info really to punch in, 1) what you are wanting to fit and 2) what you are wanting to fit it into. Your result is just a simple Yes or No.
I think that just for fun I would code the site so that no matter what you picked, as long as you had a Yukon the answer would be, "Sure, you bet!"
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
