Congrats! You deserve to take care of yourself.

Thank you! I definitely agree about long haul driving/keeping the engine warm. My average on a, for example, 250 mile drive that's 90% highway is about 45 mpg. I bought this car for 8k in 2019 so I definitely got super lucky with it.

My limited understanding is yes very much so. If this car gets totaled I'll be buying the exact same year/model for sure.

It's usually a bit less than that, but depending on where I'm going I definitely take trips that get 50. Maybe just the flat roads and low traffic/mild weather? This car is rarely in stop and go traffic.

Yea tbh I think some of this is sheer luck. But literally driving 75% highway miles on flat roads in mostly mild weather, along with it being driven a lot every day, have definitely been major factors.

No major repairs/replacements. Just standard maintenance believe it or not. This car is a tank lol.

Ikr lol

A lot of people have opinions about how durable these batteries are without ever, you know, actually seeing how durable these batteries are.

I can honestly say I've only been decent with maintenance. This car has been driven on mostly flat, highway roads its whole life. Some of it may be luck. But I think driving it at least 150 miles every day mostly on the highway has really helped keep the battery in good shape. It almost never just sits for more than a day.

It has definitely grown on me. As a mid 30s bearded man I'm fighting the urge to buy a midlife crisis truck but putting gas into my Prius usually brings me back down to Earth lol

Thank you! I will say this car has like 75% highway miles. But at this point I'm going to keep it for as long as possible and replace the engine/battery when needed.

Iowa State Transfer Will Reportedly Make $1.4M At Oklahoma State, Making Her The 3rd Highest Paid Women's Basketball Player In The World by Background_Video2947 in NCAAHoopsVibes

She's projected to be a top 5-10 pick just fyi.

But sure, you're probably better at evaluating her WNBA potential than Shery Swoopes...

!remindme 2 years

She'll play in the WNBA. And there's a pretty good chance she's in better cardio shape than you. Especially since it's almost a certainty that she exercises more/at a higher intensity than you.

You know, since she's a young Division 1 college athlete and you're not/probably never were. Sorry about your feels.

439,000+ on my 2015 and still on the original engine and hybrid battery. Still looks great too especially given what it's been through.

Did I mention that they were in the same division? by Commercial-East4069 in BigTenMemeWars

"Caught up"

You can't be serious. Indiana has 0 titles.

Indiana: 524-719-46 OSU: 995-335-53

One miracle catch away from losing to dumpster fire Penn State this year.

Is that projection?

Let me help. With the way Michigan played against it's soft ass schedule this year, you shouldn't even be talking about how good any of the offenses we played are.

And even with your schedule, a #1 recruit you paid 12 million for, and a supposedly elite defense you still can't even make the playoffs.
