My Prius, like all my past automobiles have, carries things most don't
carry in their fancy trucks. You know, things like plants, bales of
hay,
vinegar/soy barrels for rain barrels or garden planting, chicken feed,
1x6, 2x4, etc. lumber up to 8 feet long, rolls of fence wire, potting
soil,etc., as well as the conventional things like groceries.g

I lust after a Citroen Pluriel which can be a sports car or a tiny truck
with a flatbed or a sedan etc etc.......

That looks very interesting. After taking a quick look, I bookmarked the
page to explore later. Thank you for posting it. It would certainly
fulfill the variety of uses my poor cars are subjected to. :-)

:-)) I know what you mean. I drive a very practical Nissan Navara Twin Cab
(have to have room for the dogs, the spinning wheel and be able to take the
rubbish (trash)) to the rubbish dump. As this vehicle also doubles as the
farm vehicle, you can image that it is a mobile garbage pile most of the
time. Just occasionally I dream of being the driver who is actually doing
the driving with the hood down in a modern sports car (and I do mean modern
as I do get driven around quite a lot in a 1948 MG TC). The little Citroen
Pluriel is something I know I will never own, but it's my pinup, lust after
car. Reality doesn't come into it :-))

Hmmm. I want an old Aston Martin DB6 GT, but I drive an '86 Ford
F150 4WD.

Spent all day delivering composted cow manure to friends who garden
but don't have pickups, and delivering eggs to my customers.

Still have the last few rows of praties to plant and another couple
of broccoli plants, and the rugosas and red currants someone gave me.

Someone asked me tonight if I was "planted out." I laughed, because
I thought she was kidding. I'll be planted out when they plant me.

Oh, also brought home a Norland apple and a Yellow Transparant apple,
to be planted tomorrow.

We finished building a new greenhouse yesterday. It's housing
my tomatoes this summer and will be a propagation house early next
spring, while we build a BIG hoophouse. I'm going to start growing
heirloom Russian tomato seedlings and pickling cukes for sale to
the neighbors. The Russian Old Believers in the village next door
to our ranch buy ~2000 'mater starts and 2000 cuke starts every
spring in town. The business that's been selling them starts is
retiring...
