What are you driving?!

Re: What are you driving?!

Long trip rental this year:

A Toyota Sienna for hauling camping stuff and 3 persons up and down the East coast over a 3 day period.
Despite the rental company's admonishment not to remove the back seat row errrrrrr wellllll.... YES, I will and and I vacuum the entire carpet when I do.

Rest of the trip (18 odd days) looks like we'll tool around in a Ford Focus Hatchback with 2 younger members in good standing of the Bickerson tribe, an occasionally bored teenager whose eyes speak volumes from time to time (obviously this generation dinna get the "don't roll yer eyes/suck yer teeth" memo) in the back seat and the 2 "adults" sitting in the front seats pretending we are not really with THOSE beings behind us.

Adults only (OK actually there will be some various aged kiddos who enjoy that old timie music) long weekend David Bowie Memorial "Dancing on Mars" we've taken over the entire campground (it's tiny) "Wham Bam Thank U Ma'am!?!" Tribute gets a much smaller car rental for us.
A Mini Cooper Convertible cuz I don't feel like being with others past the campsite or hauling tons of stuff off or on the campground.
Did all the logistics for the trip and that's enough this time.

Gave up on my Perseid water access trip this year since it really won't be well visible in the NE this year. Sniffles.

Hehehehehe...........I sooooooooooooo hear ya!:he:
Oh and all electronics 'cepting a Kindle (learn sumthin darn youse! Gonna want ya to pay my Social Security..) and Simon Says game are frowned on by me. I tell the parents that charging is issue laden (true) and mostly they comply. Once the RV is here that 'scuse will be gone w/ the wind but but I'll cross that bridge when it comes:out:.

Re: What are you driving?!

Now working on a new to me 2003 Ford Explorer sport (its on blocks in the garage; going to start removing the transmission (I hate, unreliable, automatics) for a preventive maintenance rebuild after this post) sorry, no pics yet. It looks much better than the o'l Jeep or the '95 Ford Ranger.

Enjoy!

Edit: got 'er fit for the road (no trips yet)...
