    59 panel

    By rippy  |  Posted June 3, 2008  |  austin, Texas
     

    I drive a 1959 panel wagon.  One it's paid for.  Second I'm reusing what we already have so more cars don't have to be made.  Third my truck gets better mpg than a suburban due to tuning and how I drive.  Fourth $223 a year for insurance.  Fifth did I say I've already been a bike rider for at least 15 years and love to commute by bicycle anyway.  So there you have it, old school american ride not roting at the dump, great mpg for 3400# truck and I can carry my kayak.  Getting out of a $400-$600 car payment really helps out and insurance is inexpensive, using what we already have is an excellent choice for the mechanically inclined.  Peace Rippy
