I'd like to find away around having one, but the solutions are primative and no fun at all.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-90362678749887119632012-05-12T00:17:11.735-04:002012-05-12T00:17:11.735-04:00Now that's a dream car.Now that's a dream car.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-73218258295330933382012-05-11T21:17:39.362-04:002012-05-11T21:17:39.362-04:00"Piracy" aside, down here in Texas I NEE..."Piracy" aside, down here in Texas I NEED a truck if I am to continue living "within the norm". The bus doesn't run early enough for me to go to work, and would still leave me over a mile walk each way even if it did. I need to haul brush, etc. away from my property because I'm not "allowed" to burn it in city limits. I need to haul my perch traps, bait, etc. to the boat and back. Hell, I need to pull the boat! I'd be nothing more than another welfare basket case without my truck. Seems like some folks want me there...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-69397429836524384182012-05-11T12:09:20.198-04:002012-05-11T12:09:20.198-04:00To my generation, a car was THE thing to have.

It took awhile and I went through a couple of cars, but finally got my dream car, a '57 Chevy convertible.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-5418263028608847932012-05-11T11:02:58.060-04:002012-05-11T11:02:58.060-04:00I like being semi-nomadic.I like being semi-nomadic.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-10810299543985811802012-05-11T10:49:21.556-04:002012-05-11T10:49:21.556-04:00It would make perfect sense to give it up.

Going by horse would sure limit the number of trips as it would probably take a day and a half to make the trip! I'm actualy doing what I can to work my way to becoming a peasant, tied to the land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-79705755558697378542012-05-11T08:30:41.307-04:002012-05-11T08:30:41.307-04:00Some very good points made in the above post - tha...Some very good points made in the above post - thank you sir. My aunt lives in San Diego near the beach (couple of blocks) and still has her car. But she doesn't use it at all - everything she needs and attends is within several blocks. Church, gym, grocery store - everything (well, so far anyway 8^). California gas prices, insurance and regulations are EXPENSIVE. Not to mention the garage she rents to keep it in.<br /><br />For her, an expense. She is considering giving it up, the very few places she does occassionally travel to that is too far is serviced by the bus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
