Traveling light. Velomobiles get you there simply.

This is a great way to get around town on short errands or commutes.
We could see many more of these in the USA soon.
There are electric assist kits available for these also.

I’d buy and drive one around if the price came down a little. This would be perfect for most of my trips.

Here are some cool pics of velomobiles from around Europe and the US.

Paint your vehicle yourself.

Posted by hotcrowd on December 13, 2009

Hopefully I’ll paint my Volvo 240 wagon in 2010. Still deciding on color.

There are some excellent resources available that teach how to paint your own vehicle.
Carefully choose the method that best suits your application, skills, and time.
If I was made of money I’d get my car done at a reputable private shop here in town.
Instead, I will probably do my own job using one of the techniques found at a few autobody and painting websites. Or pay the $800 for a great finish by a shop. Have to wait and see.

Here are some pefect examples of the finish I’m working toward.
