Realized that with my new job I’m at $500/month for gas. Starting to seriously consider a hybrid or electric but damn they expensive. Either way might just need something more reliable than my 320k+ car.

Whatchya driving, do you like it, and why?

2016 Toyota Camry. Up until that, I always bought used old beaters and ran them into the ground, but in 2017, my new job required a car less than 6 years old, so I bought the Camry.

I might be jinxing myself, but, besides normal (disposable) things like tires and brakes and minor tune ups, it hasn't needed any major repairs since I bought it.

I bought a 2019 Corolla, the Camry’s cheaper cousin, for the same reason. Hoping it lasts til 200,000 miles with no issues. 300K would be fantastic. Last Toyota I had was a Tacoma and it made it to 270K buy replaced the transmission twice 😭

I bought a used 2015 Camry and have had no problems that I couldn't handle myself. Or just ignore, like tire pressure sensors that give false failure signals.
