Well we were car free for 10 years, then in 2019 my wife had a "heart attack" and we lived a long ways from the hospital!! I was there at all hours, some times 3 trips a day so I bought a 1993 Ford Ranger from my brother and it was his "haul loads to the dump beater truck", but it lasted till June 2021! Syncro's in the transmission went gave up, hell to shift down into 1st. and not easy to get into 2nd. gear either, Steering Column broke, 2 out of 4 fuel injectors gave up and misc. other problems, made me have to have the old truck hauled off to the scrap yard. So we are now back full circle and "Car-Free". Since we are now living only on our very meager Social Security Retirement income we will NEVER be able to afford another car so "Car-Free" is back to being NORMAL life. Thank goodness I kept the "home built" utility trailer I build a decade ago, it's been brought back into full time service!!
