We have taken much for granted with regard to driving – including the ease of being able to do it again and whenever we like.

Whenever we need to. Even if we did not plan for it ahead of time.

This was brought home to me the other day when I realized I'd forgotten to gas up the '23 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost before I parked it for the night the evening prior. There was not enough gas left in its tank to make it very far, particularly given the appetite of the 807 horsepower supercharged V8 engine under the hood.

But, no problem – as I had gas in the shed.
