Ever consider an older motorcycle? Here in California, the weather is nice enough to ride most of the year. Maintaining a bike is more intensive than a car, but cheaper on gas, easier to park, great for riding around with women.
My .02 cents.

Motorcycles in California are like painting Targets on your back. Been there done that and moved on........fast.

BlueBeard.. You are not a target if you are moving fast enough... I love my truck but my bike with do 0-60mph in under 5 seconds, while getting about 40 mpg!
In California... you must be 16 yrs old and take a class to get your license. In NC I am not sure.

Do like I did! I got a 1972 1 ton dually for $450.00. I've seen others around just sitting. I guess people don't like to restore them since none of them came with a bed and it is hard to make them look neat without major custom work! I thought I was buying a parts truck and it turns out to be a great runner. All I need is new floor pans and a rear axle saddle and I should pass inspection!!
