With two of the three major motor companies saying they will stop making gasoline powered vehicles by 2035 ( only 14 years away ) it has got me to thinking about buying and storing pickup trucks and maybe even a few cars.

Has anyone given this any thought to doing the same ? Do you think it will actually happen ?

If we get a Republican president next time around, don't you think this will be put to a halt?

Its a feel good, "look at us being progressive" marketing plan, that's all. They will build more electric cars, but I don't believe they intend to totally quit building the internal combustion engine.

The republicans will have to get on board with it too or they will never get enough votes to govern.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Boco, I was sort of being hopeful. The system is rigged more than ever now. I don't think we'll ever see a Republican president again.

I wouldn't worry about it. In 14 years, the apocalypse will be long over, all the gasoline you could salvage will be used up by then. You'll mostly just walk everywhere.

Its not a political decision Gm and ford are doing it on there own accord from what I have read. Hard to say what gas prices will be like then there might be a glut of oil like there is now and could be reasonable priced.

price of decent gas vehicles is just going to keep going up people will be running on fleets of older trucks still able to fix them , just keep fixing and buying aftermarket repair parts eventually every truck will be like Paul Dobbins toyota 600K on it.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

exactly like Cuba my cousin was there a couple years ago , whole industry on to it's self fixing cars by rebuilding every possible component they can.

That's what I'm thinking. Learn to make your own snares.....steel cable and nuts will be around for a long time (stuff like bicycle brake/shift cables, car emergency brake cable, etc.) Fur will make good wampum laugh

I hope your are right, but I think Congress is going to make it so Trump can not hold any Federal Office. We will see.
