TBerk:
Was wondering, for those who take a telescope into the field, what do
you use to lug it around?
I use a Nissan Titan LE. Lots of room and pretty economical at 15 mpg.
15 mpg is economical!? In case you missed my post, I sold my Titan LE
and got a new Star Car -- a Prius
<http://www.davidillig.com/starcar.shtml>. My idea of economical is
44-48 mpg winter and 51-56 summer. I'm not judging you or /anyone/ who
drives a 15-mpg vehicle, but /my/ Titan was killing American soldiers
and innocent Iraqis by the thousands, so it had to go.
The Titan was the right vehicle for its time; unlike most pickups, it
wasn't a mall and supermarket vehicle; it was the sole farm truck for
the Upton Farm in Severn, MD. I confess it was often used for trips as
well; in my opinion the Titan ranks as one of the most comfortable
long-haul vehicles on the road.
A California company is trying to bring an all-electric 4-door pickup
to market. It is said to be capable of going 120 miles on a charge. I'd
buy one in a New York minute if it seemed to meet my expectations.
