Boomer6969 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 (edited) Seriously? when I see the OP's picture I wonder how anyone would board this thing of another age. While the near future should rely on EVs, trains and cars for short commutes. Edited January 3, 2023 by Boomer6969 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
