Females and mechanical things---such as automobiles....

Sure, there are clued lady mechanics, and race car drivers. Recall that weeny worshiper Amelia Ehrhardt. But in my experience, there is a strong inverse correlation betwen just what women know about such things, and how jealously they guard related imagined perogatives. So, our brilliant graduare twins will need a vehicle for work or more schooling. Mind you, dad buys antique modes of transportation. Touring MC, head turning sports car, solid coastal sail cruisers, and so on. Cheap and do what is expected of them. A joy to maintain. But the girls' mom, Godess bless her, will have none of it. So my default suggestion is to get them hybrid Subaru station wagons---environmentally sound and long lived. Of course, as with most things, dad will pay for most of the bills. Mother dear is listening to the car salesman, lowest of occupations, who avers that while there may be a savings in gas, long term hybrid maintenance is very costly. What?!?! No timing belts, fewer oil and trans services, almost no brake jobs---and lots more. Hopefully, daughters won't be so falsely swayed. But the PC world isn't kind to such valid thinking, based on experience.

I've never worked on a hybrid. Perhaps the batteries are special and much more expensive and need replacement at some point ??? I certainly wouldn't trust a new car salesman for his advice about a used car.
