It's a reskinned third gen Toyota Prius. Great on fuel but terrible on fun.
It'll probably last forever too
my beat up 2002 prius is at 240K miles and showing no sign of stopping
I hope to do the same with this one but my history of cars is starting to rival Billy and amps

Yes, I will happily gap you at any and all opportunities.
This is what I've evolved in to

I love that
My Corvette of choice is the C4. If I ever get one I will definitely be living that comic.

Nice ride. Congrats!
I've wanted a 4 door Wrangler for a long time, but I want them to make one with truck level towing capacity.

The Gladiator barely had truck level towing capacity, but I think the Wrangler itself is just too niche to deviate that far. So now I'm going to use my full size truck based Navigator's towing capacity to tow this Jeep around

Used to be way into cars but haven't cared in YEARS but that fucking C8 Vette stirs my loins.
Its probably because I'm almost 40.

Man, it is so damn nice driving a normal car again. I love Jeeps, but goddamn driving a brick on the open highway with all the wind has been a bitch. Averaging 42.8mpg doesn't suck either.

If all goes right I'll be perfectly ripe for it when the budget stops being so heavily ruled by child care.

bro when I went from 2 kids in daycare to them both being in school it was like a massive pay raise. The previous daycare bill was more than my mortgage and car payment combined.

Dude I fucking believe it. We've got an at home nanny just for the one right now and it costs more per month than our damn mortgage.
Definitely looking forward to that pay raise in a few years. For now I'm just happy we can provide that level of care for the kid since we don't really have a family here to help out.

Hang in there, the financial discipline learned will stick around long after it's over. Then at some point start buying dumb shit while you face middle age head on. *burnout noises*

Dude me and the Mrs had the Jeep big for about 3 months. We test drove a bunch but just couldn’t find anything close to us for under $60k and like you said, being a daily driver it just wasn’t making sense when I was commuting back and forth to Vegas. That’s about 108 miles a day round trip. Hence the motorcycle’s
