I have been waiting for the election because I have a feeling that Clinton will continue the leftist policies of crawling up gas prices.
However, I have been looking for a car, just in case. My goodness!
Everything out there is chock full of electronics that will make them obsolete soon.
Everything out there looks like a shiny, overgrown bug.
I think I need something a bit more more butch-looking.
I look longingly at jeep wranglers, but I am told that they are unreliable and break big things like transmissions.
I probably should have four wheel or all wheel drive. Because I live on the snow belt, at the end of a half mile drive way. Although the golf did navigate well.
I have looked at the so called SUVs, and they are just cars, none have a truck frame or the ruggedness I had with my old 90's SUVs.
Is there a vehicle out there that is moderately comfortable, good mileage, little to no electronics, and durable?
Not something that I am expected to work on, because aside from playing with the distributor cap on my old MGB, I try to stay out of from under the hood. I just found out there are no more distributor caps. Shocking!
What is a chickensoup to do?
Keep the Volkswagen and if you can, ignore the diesel bs. Drive it into the ground.
Great cars.
Cheers,
Jim
What did you decide on a vehicle? Myself I would wait until the elections over. I own a Jeep. Love it. The great thing about them is if you take care of them the depreciation is much less because they are so versatile. You can swap out engines/drivetrains easily so they will always be in demand if in decent shape. I plan on driving it until I die. But if I had a diesel like yours I would just drive it. But that’s just me. I’d love to have a diesel in my jeep but my budget for that is non-existent.
