I used to turn my engine on/off to make sure it didnt despawn. If you know your going to be out there gathering for a long time, make sure to interact with your vehicle so it dont despawn.
A wise man told me once that you holding your own dick is the same as holding everyone elses dick. So holding your own dick makes you atleast 10% gay, so if you try to suck your own wiener i would say that is atleast a 45-50% gay in my opinion.
