I've ridden to Virginia Beach, Dover, Ocean City, Purcellville, and a few other places. I prefer state highways, whenever possible, to the big interstates. Lower speeds, usually less traffic, fewer big trucks, et cetera. |

For the last year, I've only been using it "locally" to pick up bags of mulch, or to take trashbags up to the dump. It's still in good shape, considering its age and mileage, and we're donating it to a good cause. |

You have often stated how you prefer to take public transportation and you don't drive anywhere for trips, etc. Last I knew you had a Ford Ranger "Splash" or whatever they were called. My truck is almost 8 model years old (2008) and it has just over 33,000 miles on it. |
