Easy. I daily drive a Comet. That's my choice.

My dad's first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe he bought in 1971. My parents went on their first date in that car and got married in it in 1978. My mom drove it until she got a new Mustang in 1983 and my dad's was parked in a barn. I played in that car when I was a kid, fantasized about driving it for hours and…
I daily drive a 1963 Comet. Three on the tree. It's my primary transportation. Has been since last year. I wrote about it here:
Scale it up to hundreds of thousands of these vehicles and cities with aging infrastructure and it doesn't make practical sense. Not yet, anyway. Dump a load of new, power comsuming technology all at once and you're asking for mounds of issues. Staggering charge times? Not in winter when they need to stay topped off…
Source?
Except the impact on the grid. My local Post Office has over 100 trucks, the next one is about three miles away and houses even more. That's why big fleet companies don't use them yet. Spend all of that money, and depending on where you live, charging that many vehicles or more at once could cause the grid to…
Someone I know who had a lung removed was given a swing tag and keeps it renewed. She breathes well enough to work an office job and then go to her second job as a server at a large restaurant three or four days each week. But walking an additional twenty feet into Target is asking too much. Her daughter is fifteen…
Meh. Wouldn't have had a second glance from me.
I had a 1979 MGB. Loved that little thing. She caught on fire three times in three years, was a complete pain in the ass, but I loved her dearly. Yeah. Daily driver.
No, I use an always accurate, fully calibrated digital gauge, thank you very much. None of that mechanical, analog nonsense. If cars would just drive themselves, then we could text, facetime, and sleep. None of this would happen because the computers would prevent it. Gah!
Owned fourteen vehicles in my life. Never had one with traction control. Never launched one off a curb into opposing traffic #logic.
Bwahahaha. This comment made my night.
See my reply to Jaytee above you. We probably come from completely different family dynamics, but thanks for making a judgment call on who is disrespectful in mine. You're quite respectful yourself considering how you went straight to name calling. Relatable experiences - you don't relate to mine, so move on.
Read my response to Jaytee. Thanks for the name calling though. It makes you look like a pretty upstanding citizen yourself.
And you make the assumption that I am like so many other people in the world who spend their lives looking for someone. Not everyone has the same goal of getting married, having kids, and a white picket fence. That's not who I am.
It's not a selfish little bubble - it's realism and treating everyone equally. I don't have "older" people in my family as my grandparents and those before them have since passed on, but I'm happy you think you have grasp on my family dynamic. What I have are some aunts and cousins who like to ask you about…
My relatives never really got me gifts, I saw most of them that one day each year, they all asked the same redundant questions and none of them actually gave a flying shit about how I answered those questions. I relate to her because it's a bunch of fluff that neither of us care about. I'm now 28, single, no kids,…
That's who I ditched to get it cheaper. It was on a clean driving record, but sometimes has to do with where you live (Metro Atlanta).
Airbags.
