We have four vehicles. They are all insured, have current tags and inspection stickers. Three of them are sitting there. Toyota truck needs an alternator, Jeep needs a leaf spring, Justy needs I’m not sure (drive chain? tranny?).
Aerostar, 1995, with over 250,000 miles, is the one that works. The one I DON’T want to use except for road trips. Save it, I say. It still runs great, has the least amount of rust, the most amount of room, and gets better gas mileage than the Jeep. Daily driving will just tear it up.
But it’s our only car right now, so we are driving it every day.
I’m sure grateful for it, it has sure come a long way with us, and it might be my favorite car I ever had! But it’s old, like me. Should be gentle with it, but this half-mile mountain driveway is anything but.
So we are in transition, yet again. J is doing much research to guage consumer evals on many models. With the possibility of having a mail route next year, we will take facility into consideration, etc.
It will be interesting to see what we end up with and when. My travel plans are all on hold until this matter is resolved (duh).
On another front, I am weaving again. Warped the loom last week for some Sweedish Huck Lace towels. They aren’t looking much like the picture (on the pattern), but are lovely, and I’m enjoying the process. Also, I finished knitting a beautiful bamboo lace shawl (for a friend’s 60th), and several more pairs of socks.
Now that I think of it, we really only need one car since I’m really busy here!!
