As a rejoinder to the thread "How long does your EX sit w/o driving it?"

Post a picture of what you are driving when not driving the EX (DD) if applicable.

 

At 8 MPG it gets really expensive for DD.......did not buy the the Ex to be driven daily so its a weekend family vehicle or if there's a bad snow storm.




Here's my DD......52 MPG on stop n go trafffic. '93 Metro 993cc 3 cylinder 5 speed. I know its laughable but the savings is ridiculous.






Or this if its just me and the wife.

 

Cool, I have an EX cover also.

 

i gotta get the wife a geo! She drives a beater Kia sportage DD. I work 200 yards from my house so my DD is the excursion or a CR250R or my feet depending on weather and how much sleep i got the night before...

 

Geo is the king of MPGs. Super easy to work on, very cheap parts and extremely reliable (Suzuki motor). If you dont mind driving an econo box its the way to go.

 

My X IS my DD! Not the best for the pocketbook, but since my oldest son started driving and my next son is about to get his liscense, I lost my DD 99 Tracer to the boys!

 

Are you in Wisconsin?

 

here's the ex on the job site. Gets used for work.

 

Just another day on the job. But couldn't get the trailer to this site. Kept sliding back down too steep.

The rangers for when I get home and want someone to drive around town that's smaller. Rarely drive it thou. Only put 3000 miles on it in the last year.

 

I'm in Illinois............about 35 mins from the WI / IL border.

 

2011Yamaha Zuma 155
Max speed 75 mph / 75 mpg

$4 a week in fuel to go to work.

 

I would not want to do 75 on that little thing. That looks like a death trap. But I have one similar.
1986 honda 250 helix. Does 65ish with me(257 lbs 6'4")

 

I like the back seat, it's a miniature Honda Gold Wing.

 

It's a fun little bike. But haven't used it since college. Rode it to and from class just about every day for 3 years. Excellent gas milage and built in factory kenwood radio with (2) 3.5 inch speakers and a handlebar radio control. Even on the interstate I could hear the tunes just fine. Been sitting up for 2 years in storage. My father bought it new and used for a year then put in storage for 15 years before Giving it to me with 600 miles on it. Has 8,000ish miles on it now. All I did to it was put a battery in it and hit the start button after 15 years.

 

Can say that about any vehicle.
