Bikes: Some silver ones, a red one, a black and orange one, and a few titanium ones

A 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe (in the street actually The garage is for bicycles Get your priorities straight ) which I bought with 35000 miles in 2001 and it currently has 70000 miles on it. I use it for driving into the Colorado Rockies to go fishing and camping and for family outings where we need to carry 4 bikes. I also use it when I go on occasional bike club mountain bike rides and I can carry 3 other people and their gear.

Do I feel bad about owning an SUV. Nope. I've put only 35000 miles on the car in 4 years, I ride my bike to work an average of 110 days per year (and have consistently for 25 years), I don't put 2.6 tons of CO2 in the air every year (a lifetime savings of 65 tons of CO2) , and have ridden at least once a month for last 300 months. And, at current gas prices, I figure I'm saving around $50-$75 per week...

Hey! I should have saved enough for a new bike by now. Honey.....?
