You will likely find you can double that milage depending on the cars condition. Here most vehicles rust before their engines wear out.

^Mountain Goat, my son would love that tractor. He is has an old late '50s John Deere o n the farm. He is (I believe) most likely autistic with a special interest in tractors. At 16 years old he already drives for local contractors as well as on the farm. Amazing kid. I'm very proud of him.

Aww. Nice. Did they sell any 655's over there? The slightly larger but similar 755's were more common.

Drive:

2013 Dodge Dart 4cyl 6MT base model. The only option was power windows. I upgraded the crappy blown paper speakers to the plastic Mopar branded ones - WAY BETTER. The only thing Dodge really got right on this cheap car is the sound system - I’ve never heard a better sounding 4 speak car audio system.

Ride:

1993 BMW K75 - my first motorcycle. Transmission rebuilt last year, got collector plates a few months ago so insurance drops to $34/mo with better coverage than when I was paying $110/mo. Chances are likely that if I have the storage space, money, and desire to buy another motorcycle or two I’ll Also but old ones in good shape in order to have super cheap insurance. I’ve ridden this one over 12k kms since I bought it and am now fairly comfortable and competent, but I can see how different styles of bikes would be better suited for different types of riding trips - like a Big highway bike for long trips.

^Excellent commute!

I drive a white Hyundai Tucson, 4-wheel drive, basic trim. It has a rear-view camera which helps me in parking.

I cant drive cuz my vision is too bad & I have major problems with daydreaming & get directions confused very easily. I usually just ride buses but I don't go to many places by myself. Thou if I did drive, I think this would be a very fun car to drive drive drive drive drive :lol: I'm already slightly crazy enough to enjoy this :mrgreen:

^ Mountain Goat - I had to ask what it was. Perhaps I got the year wrong? It's an 1120.
