This June our '86 mazda Pickup bit the dust. Last Saturday our '95 Stratus started billowing smoke and died on the side of the freeway. Facing a $1200 (and likely more) repair on a car with 190,000 miles we decided to retire Silvia, our Stratus. My brother-in-law, Jason, mentioned that there is a new kind of Hybrid that we should look into. Something about half-car/half-horse? While we didn't find exactly what he had described we found a reasonable solution. Better than a Hybrid, it doesn't take gas. Powered by string cheese and spaghetti Win peddles us anywhere we want to go. Really, it's a great mode of transportation.
