In addition to the motorcycles listed in my signature, I also own a 1999 Saturn (may they rest in peace) SW2 station wagon that is slowly closing in on 30K miles.

So, how many times have you flipped the odometer? 30K in 23 years seems a tad low.

The speedo is on its first round. I rarely drive my car as I ride my motorcycles whenever possible.

I mostly drive (on 4 wheels) a Toyota Tacoma. OK truck, no frills, lousy gas mileage. My commute is 6 miles, so not that big a deal.
Oh, I have a Vanderhall Venice as well. That's a fun little vehicle, but I'll probably sell it next spring as I still prefer a two-wheeler.

I wonder if a bed cover would help the fuel efficiency of the Tacoma? Mine is a 2013 4cyl 4x4 and it's never done better than 20-mpg. Of course, my prior 1991 4cl 4x4 did a bit worse and barely had a radio......

I doubt it would help very much. The 6 cyl is bullet-proof, but inefficient. The 4 wheel drive is just heavy. When I fill the bed with storage buckets (preferred traveling luggage with the truck)- that fills the bed with light weight surface, but I still get about 18 mpg (7.5 km/l, I think?). I can pull a light trailer, drive 55 mph or 80 mph...still get about 18.

We are a one car, one bike family. Had two cars in CA but the riding was year round so the GTI rarely left the garage, so we sold it. Now we only have the 4runner.

I have a work car, 2020 Charger, but it's not mine and I don't pay for it. Plus, it solely is for work purposes, no personal use whatsoever.

2 drivers in my house and 5 motorized vehicles.

Subaru Outback 3.6 R, my wife's car, real peppy engine
Lexus RX350 for me, with two engine mode - I use Sport when I need it to get up and go.
R1250 RS, S1000 XR, and Kawasaki ZH2, all mine, my wife does not ride.

I've had Corvettes and Mustang Cobras in the past, with manual transmission, but if I was to have one today, it would be an automatic. I love the m/c quick shifter! All this new stuff works much better than my old brain and muscles.

'20 R1250 RS
'19 S1000 XR

Subaru Crosstrek my wife's car
Subaru Forest XT love the WRX engine and drive train in the Forester

I'm of the age where I'm shedding stuff. sold off my Harley XLCR, KTM 390 Duke and Triumph Cafe I built up from a crashed 900 scrambler, so my only bike now is the R1200RS. I did order a Janus 450 last spring..still waiting.

Most reliable vehicle ever is my 30 year old Ford 1920 tractor

I always had a work truck assigned to me but could not drive it home.
If I was allowed to drive it home we would never had purchased the 2nd car.
Our first 18 years we got by with one car.

Have you ever charged away from home? If so, was it at anything other than a Tesla fast charger?

We've charged away from home using only Tesla superchargers.

Any EV in USA that's not a Tesla sucks for charging away from home.

Is that because they're hard to find, don't charge fast or both?
