It's more environmentally friendly to keep an old car running than to get a new one. Well, that line of thinking only applies if they made less new cars because of the decreased demand due to people using old cars, but it's a nice way to get a good night's sleep
2007 Chevy silverado Classic wish I had a pic of it. But I bought it brand new with all of 4 miles on it and I just rolled 100,880 miles. but it's done great for every work and weekend adventure I can ask it too. It helps to have to haul around the toys for when I get a wild hair and decide to do something like this I really wish I could ride one of those on the road instead of driving my truck every where.
This is my car. A 2003 Seat Arosa with 61HP and 85.5 cubic inches. It's a pretty small car, consumes little fuel and is actually quite respectable in terms of driving performance (pretty light and large cylinder space relative to HPs).
I'm a huge fan of wagons, but this one is painfully slow... yet fairly attractive (and extremely competent). This is my Mini, there are MANY (3 Million +) like it, but this one is mine. And I love it.
I don't "drive" much. This motorcycle is basically my car. My wife has a car, and I have a couple of old CJ3B Jeeps and a couple of M-series trucks (M37 and M715), but this bike (and some others) is (are) how I usually get around. I don't keep much on/in the bikes for daily carry other than some tools, but I load them up with too much when I travel on them. Chris
We tried to work a deal - it turned south at "we take your rig and we keep our fuel bill?" (in case it isn't obvious the white sprinter is ours. Started as a work truck. Did some "converting" so we can travel comfy in it....awesome fuel economy - 21 MPG over 8606 miles last summer...) Set up in Reno: Set up in Zion: Bike haulin': Cabinet/table: (passenger seat swivels) We also: - use our mattress from home on a bed frame my brother and I fabricated. - have four golf cart batteries - we can usually run about 5 days pretty comfortably. - inverter/charger on board for topping off battery bank when at campgrounds - all LED lighting for the "house" (notice in the night time awning shot - amber LEDs under awning - red LEDs in truck.) there are also 6500K LEDs for the inside also. 2009 - two weeks out 2010 - 5 weeks out 2011 - we told our friends and pet sitter 2-3 weeks max....ended up being six?? Yeh. We LOVE traveling. Http://Autolox.smugmug.com if you want to check out some pics from our adventures. This is an 04 dodge sprinter. I work daily out of an 02 sprinter - medium wheelbase. Wife drives an orange 03 Honda element daily. We affectionately refer to that as our "orange peel". Other vehicles? Why yes! When I'm not working I like to stay out of vehicles if possible:

Yeah, reading that article, I was wondering when they might get to the Top Gear "test" ... Incredible! Another great episode was when they drove it up the volcano
