Sadly, those days are likely far behind,
The next generation won't even know how to fill a gas tank and check oil, just show them where to plug it in.


Perhaps my Great grandparents lamented that I never learned how to drive a horse and buggy,… whatever.
But the world will be a better (cleaner, quieter) place when automobile IC engines are no more! :bounce:

I am sure that quaint, cranky luddites will keep IC engines alive for a while so kids of tomorrow can try their hand at driving an antique, noisy, dirty stick shift :lol:

I love my battery-powered lawn mower and battery-powered chain saw - I hope to never again see a fussy antique IC engine lawn mower! I do still have an IC engine chain saw, but it is sort of a beast relative to my handy mini battery-powered chain saw.


Tell us the make and model of your eco-friendly vehicle

You know, the one your were driving all over the West last summer whilst proclaiming scorn upon all those who ventured out to travel.


F-150. Great truck! Ecoboost engine, 20+ mpg!
My travels were to “quarantine” sites, my cabin, and camping! Pandemic-safe, fauci-approved destinations!

Sucker!


You are a phony!!
Your travels, by your account, were to Arizona, Pacific Northwest and even NorCal where you got into an apparent squabble with a local.
You must own a lot of cabins....

But, at least you got one thing right, your personal signature of ""Sucker" seems spot on.

Creepy cretin:
In stalking me, you appear to have confused vacation travel vs work travel. If you are going to stalk me, you really should try harder to get the details right.

Taught both my kids at about 14 in baja. We drive a Ford crew cab down to baja. When I let my son drive I told him , him he was taking a good line avoiding rocks and potholes he said he has been looking over my shoulder watching for his whole life he knows.

My daughter started sitting on my lap and steering when she was 5. I live us a mile long private road, so she would take over when we were on my land. By the time she was 11, she was driving my F250 on her own - except she had to have her dog standing on the seat behind her, so she could lean against him to reach the pedals.

Now shes teaching my 4 year old grandson. he steered up the same road today - hes well on his way.

My mom taught me to drive in a 4 speed army surplus jeep on the mountain road in the Uintah mountains of Utah - when I was 11.
