What do you drive?
I've got a 5-speed 1988 Mercury Tracer hatchback that's logged thousands of miles looking for flying jobs from the West Coast to the Great Lakes to the Arctic. It's cheap on gas, low maintenance and will maintain a good 90 mph for hours on end (in Montana when there was no speed limit ) Don't have to worry about collision insurance or car payments--I think I paid around $1000 for it about 3 years ago.
I also drive a nice gold and brown '81 Pontiac Phoenix 2-door. It sports a powerhouse V6 engine and a pair of gold COPA (Canadian Owners and Pilots Association) wings on the back window. That's the one I use to cruise for chicks.
Most of the pilots I know drive beaters. Anyone got any thoughts on that?
