My dad has been telling the same story for ten years. He wants to take a trip around US national parks, sleeping in the back of the car, under the stars, which is why his car needs a 500-mile range and must be fueled by gasoline. This conversation always comes up at family gatherings when he asks how I like my electric car.

He's in his mid-80s with prostate problems. He has never taken the trip.

on the plus side you stand to inherit a fairly lightly used truck in a few years
