It seems that every year vehicles consume a larger and
larger percentage of a house hold’s budget. A new car was once considered
standard for the middle class is now for many American’s an impossible dream. I
plan to track my experience buying and maintaining an older debt free used car.
I am bit of a shade tree mechanic and hope to share what I have learned in the
past fifteen years that I have been driving and repairing cars.
I also plan to discuss some public policies issues along the
way as I have a love / hate relationship with cars. I love the freedom that a
car provides, but I also believe that we have built our infrastructure in the
U.S. to be too car dependent and hostile to other modes such as bikes and pedestrians.
I think that we would all be a lot better off if we walked or biked more and
drove less.
