My Explorer's transmission left the building almost a year ago, so I haven't had a car or truck since. I do have the use of a old '99 Chevy pick up that my 81 year old neighbor owns, whenever I want. Which works for me as I'm retired, and don't drive more that 2500 mile's a year anyway. If the weather's nice by that I mean "not raining", I use my motorcycle. I maintain my neighbors truck for him, plus I cut his grass. Not having to pay registration or insurance on a car or truck helps the ol budget. The only thing that might change is, he told me when his grandson gets old enough to drive, he want's to give him the truck. But that's a few years down the road.,,
