I keep trying to plan a way to become happier and more satisfied with life. But, because everything is so uncertain I don't think I should make any major changes. But, this concerns me because I'm getting older and I better make changes while I still can.
Hell, I don't even know if gasoline will ever be cheap again. And if so, when will it be phased out and or hard to get? Electric vehicles do NOT make good explorers and camping rigs. The other alt fuels are difficult to find especially when out on a trip.
Dude I was thinking the same thing when I was out walking last night and saw C2 Corvette Stingray go by. I was thinking, sure, electrification is going to happen, but I will miss the "cool factor" of gas cars. A Tesla Model S Plaid going fast, to me, is like "that's alright I guess" but old muscle cars are cool just sitting there idling. I was thinking what you're thinking there, kinda - I don't think gas will go away overnight, but I could see it staying around as a sort of novelty item, kind of like tobacco products. But it's going to be a lot more expensive, cause the only reason gas was "cheap" for so long is that they were producing so much of it. And the less gas they make, because the demand will shift to electricity, the more they'll have to charge per unit of gas to make a profit.
I keep thinking to myself, should I encourage my interest in cars? Or should I not, because who knows when I'll ever be able to afford one again, or if gas will be expensive from now on? Also, the specific cars I like could shoot up in price once people start getting nostalgic for them (any SVT Cobra or Shelby Mustang). Low mile and/or rare color ones are already getting out of hand. That's one reason I always held back from going all-in on being a "car guy" for my identity, because you can just be living your life, minding your own business, not hurting anyone, but other people can screw with it, and basically take your interest away, and in doing so, take your identity away. When I used to go over to my friend's house, my friend's Dad would call me "Mustang Ska" (not Ska but my real name). The car was part of my character. But if gas gets high, I can't be that anymore. It ruins it.
Personally, I would love a hydrogen conversion for a Mustang. It would be OK with me if it takes a hit on power and speed, cause I just want to cruise. But hydrogen cars still sound like cars. Who knows, maybe it will happen? I hear Porsche and Toyota, to name a few, aren't quite ready to give up on hydrogen just yet.

"You're killing me, Smalls!"
