What kind of car do you drive, and what kind do you wish you did?

I drive a car with an internal combustion engine.

I’d prefer to drive a plug-in hybrid, so I could produce slightly less greenhouse gas.

But I’d really prefer a walkable neighbourhood with reliable rapid transit. Maybe car sharing for trips.

Lots of complexity in a hybrid, and gas does eventually go bad if you don’t use it. Though when I used to have a motorcycle it always ran after the winter in the garage so idk how long that actually takes to happen…

Apparently Mitsubishis (and others, I assume) are smart enough to use the gas before it goes bad. 🤷‍♂️

iirc, the bigger problem is that the gas separates out a water layer that can rust your gas tank, allowing rust flakes to clog your carb.
