I looked at several cars off and on for a couple of years. I was torn between high gas prices verses costs of keeping another car on the road. I really liked my truck as I could do EVERYTHING with one vechical and keep everything in it and not have to transfer it all around. My truck is getting many miles on it 176,000 and I hate to get rid of it and it won't be worth anything anyhow to sell. I ended up going crazy and bought a 2008 Honda Fit and get about 29 MPG. The used stuff in Ohio is all eaten up with rust or if new enough not to be eaten up they want too much money compared to new cars. A few thing I don't like about it, the wind blows it all around and my arms are to short in relation to my legs to reach the steering wheel. About everything I drove was this way. I'm thinking they want everyone as far away as possible from the air bags ? I could of bought alot of gas for the price of a car ! But maybe I can make my truck last longer and it won't be too much longer my kids are old enough to drive. Yikes !!!
Big problem with this new stuff is you can't let it sit or the batteries go dead. I'm going to have to start using a battery maintainer.
I may end up getting rid of them all and getting a small truck ? If I lived closer to work I'd of just bought a cab tractor and drove it ! No plates or insurance I'd saved more that way.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
