my clown car is getting parked this winter and ill be switching to an import suv (picked up a 4wd kia sorrento) i need the 4x4 for hunting season and snowstorm travels...plus i need faster heat ..the clown car is diesel and takes a long time to heat the inside ..my body cant take it anymore
i drive my two feet onto a transit bus. we have some all electrics with charging stations at the major transfer points. and we have some hybreds. each make close to a third of the operational fleet. the remainder are a mix of methane and diesel. i think mostly methane, but anyway they're less then half the fleet now. between electrics and hybreds those make up the majority.
I have owned and driven dozens and dozens of cars over my life time. My first was a fine little Plymouth coupe bought for 25 bucks in 1955. I don't presently own a vehicle ---I borrow my sons wife s car--a foreign car of some kind.
I used to always buy 1/2 ton pickups, but then I changed jobs and now commute 100 miles round trip each day. So now I drive a little less of a gas guzzler, but still need all-wheel drive and the ponies to tow my boat.
My 2011 red Jeep Wrangler JK, rag top, 6 cylinder, 6 speed manual transmission (Pilfer proof). Doors off and top down in the warm weather.
the last vehicle i owned, i may have still had it when i furst joined hips, no sure, was an amc hornet. (compact wagon of mid 70s vintage i think) that was also the only vehicle i'd ever owned that that wasn't a pickup or panel wagon, or low power two wheeler. only ever owned one at a time. first ever was a honda 50 of 1962 vintage, in 65, second was a 59 chevy panel in 69, that was my favorite ever. next one i owned after that was a chevy pickup of similar vintage in 73, then a 49 ford panel, then a 61 i think it was, ford pickup, after that i had sazuki 125, then after my dad died, the hornet. that's all of them. sold the hornet for scrap sometime around 96. last time i owned one. now i fall asleep in front of the computer some times. don't think i'd want to do that driving a car. bad enough i did that while i was walking a couple of weeks ago.
