Sunny drive

 So I was driving around with my daily driver, Volvo today and the weather was great, sunny and warm. As I was driving around on those countryside roads, it reminded me time when I had my El Camino. It was great to drive window down and your elbow on the door, half in, half out. Feel the breeze in the hair and just drive on the open road.

I just can't have that in my Volvo, for one it was early spring so you don't really want to roll down your window and freeze your elbow, and neck and what not. Secondly, it hasn't got that feeling, what you got in an old classic car, not to mention the lack of V8 sound.

And as I was driving I caught myself thinking about how much expensive the gasoline is nowadays. Back when I had my El Camino it cost something around 1,7€ per litre, now it cost 2,3€ per litre. And 72 litres to fill up the El Camino was then 122€, now it would cost 165€, 43€ more, with that I could drive Volvo for 300 km more. I know that the next El Camino won't be my daily driver, but to enjoy those sunny day off on the road and gatherings. 

Unless I can somehow convert El Camino as EV Camino.

I checked the Chevrolet Performance's webpage and saw this and I had to screen capture it and post it:


That's it for this post. 

Have a great spring!
