CARS
Shakesthecoffecan:
I have never understood why gas is so expensive in Europe, perhaps we have more refineries here, or something, you all are deffinatly being ripped off.....(more so that we are).

When I did have a car, it was a 1981 Chevrolet Impala, white, a gift from my then-stepmother. I have been carless (rather unusual in a state like Texas) for over ten years now.

I drive an ancient 22 year old convertible top Jeep CJ 7.
It's got 232,000 miles on it, the driver's side window is slashed open, the zipper on the back of the top is busted and can't be zipped up, the driver's side seat cover is wasted, the steering wheel is cracked in 3 places down to the steel frame, the custom paint job is oxidized and stripping away to the base paint, the leaf springs on one side have collapsed, it has no AC, no radio, leaks profusely when it rains, and in city or highway, with a tailwind or headwind, on a cold day or hot, uphill or down, it gets 17 mpg, unless it's in low granny gear. ;D
But damn! The thing is still running, gets you there and back with no frills, but no trouble either.

Car less? YIKES! The only people I know without cars are in Boston or New York city. I would imagine you could in San Fransisco too. Those are like the only cities we have here in the States with a decent public transportation system.

Mine is light green, and those aren't my 14ers behind it, either, but you get the picture. It's the semi-official car of the Colorado mountains. All-wheel-drive, good enough clearance to drive roads with fairly small rocks sticking up out of them, and a rack on the top for all the gear that doesn't fit in the back.
The down side is that there are so many identical cars in this town that I'm always trying to open other cars in the parking lot. (Mel = ditz. ::) )

I have had 3 AMC Eagles which I imagine was popular in Colorado in the 1980's. Chrysler handed the market over to Subaru when the bought AMC.
