My DD is an OBS F150 with 80 thousand miles, manual shift, manual locks and manual windows, and an elite-tier sound system. I'll be buried with that truck.

Experienced the first real downside of Tesla ownership recently - auto shops won’t touch them and light damage is hard to repair. So I get backed into with my bumper dented but not cracked, and needed to take it to a Tesla collision center an hour away to replace the whole stupid lift gate. 2 weeks without a car and a big uber bill to go pick it up.

Otherwise I’m still in love with my 2020 model Y.

Felt like the most appropriate topic, tbh.

My truck is a 79 ford f150 single cab long bed with the 300 cu. in. straight six automatic 150,000 miles and upgraded AC. My dad bought it new off the lot so not only is it a sentimental heirloom but also most practical for maintenance and driving into town and to the pool hall or working on the homestead.. Like you said I will probably be buried in it. After owning a couple of 70 Mach 1's , a tbird, a 80 Toyota truck and more recently a 2008 Mazda 3 my second car is a 2000 mercury Grand Marquis, a great reliable car. Obviously both are long paid for. For trips to Colorado or where I feel a newer vehicle would be better I just rent. Being 73 I think I have one new car with full warranty to see me thru my time here. I think it will be some sort of EV , just not sure what it will be.

Yeah mine is the EFI straight six, and my dad and I bought it new so it's very sentimental. I'm probably going to upgrade the fuel injection when the ecu finally dies. And I will save up for an aftermarket overdrive so I can cruise on the highway.
