    Yeah and most expensive. Fairly affordable to keep an old car alive with less electronics than new cars.

    Good to know car recycling is strong. Still take a lot of energy to recycle and old car and build a new one.

    I have a 2001 QX4 going strong, but the mpg is pretty bad and only getting worse as the years go by in comparison to newer vehicles. Would love a hybrid kit for it. I’ve seen there are electric hubs like on a bike that you can attach by company called REVR.
