 Actually gas is just a small fraction of total vehicle ownership costs! I don't drive much these days, so for me it is immaterial just how much it costs, compared to the exorbitant taxes, insurance, registration, repair costs, etcetcetc of new fuel-efficient vehicles! Besides I LOVE them big old Boats of cars..the ones thatr can run coast-to-coast towing a boat on trailer at 80+ mph wih\thout breathing hard! I saw this one on the lot at the Local Chevvy Dealership, and fell in love with it..test-drove it initially rejected it, but since it was across the street from the Food Lion I saw it everytime I went for groceries! Finally caved in and went back and made the deal! These things were from back when I was in High School..it is 1967. I was junior in 1967...probably woulda killed myself if I had it back then, hehehe. Actually rather cheap to own one of these beasts, if you like to work on automobiles and don't own shop full of the newfangled gadgets to service the newfangled computerized cars! I love to work on my own stuffs, and the newfangled ones are too hard to fix! Only thing is: it is too long to go into one of them there cheap portable garage-thingies from Harbout Freight! 10-4 on the skate-board! I used to commute to town on a ten-speed bike..back when I was working there. Saved a hell of a lottsa $$ and felt better than I do now.
