I recently purchased a new (different) car, that's right, car. For those that know me, I've been driving a truck for the last 10 years and have become quite used to having the towing/hauling capacity of a pickup truck. One thing I will not miss is the gas usage that comes with a pickup truck. I estimate that my first pickup got around 17mpg (it was a manual transmission) and the one I have now gets around 12mpg. This is just not cool.
In 2008, gasoline prices went up to $4.00+ per gallon. I picked up a motorcycle (40mpg) to offset the gasoline usage of my truck. We have a nice long riding season here in Nebraska and it has gone well over the years.
I can't work the side business I've had for the last 10 years due to the slow injury I've sustained from using my arms/hands so much. So using my pickup for daily driving (when not riding my motorcycle) doesn't make much sense so I decided to get the car. So far I really like it and have put just about 100 miles on it at the time of this post and the gas gauge is still about 3/4 full.
Take look at the below video and pictures, it sums up the new car.
