I believe it is the first hybrid car sold in the States. Over the years I had it, the gas price was way over $3; my MPG was about 50. Pretty happy with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I still love my '02 Silverado as much as the day I bought it new. 300k miles and still going strong. It's been very nice not having a car payment since 2007. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to excite you and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, but it's a great practical car. Lots of cargo room and even more when the seats are folded down. Thanks for sharing! As this would be my college professor wife's commuter car, it really does seem suited to her whole deal. 10 hours ago, Brystheguy said: Chevy Volt would be perfect for you. The short commute could be done solely on battery power but allow you to drive across the country without having to stop and charge. We have one and love it. Also got this and the Leaf suggestion from some friends. Definitely interested in electric as I'm looking at Solar Panels for the house in the future. When I found out there is an extra $100 registration fee for true EVs in IL, I kind of ruled out the Leaf and looked harder at PHEVs like the Volt and C-max Energi. Thanks for the suggestion. 11 hours ago, Jessekidd13 said: We just got a 2019 Honda Insight, and I'm a big fan.

I'm 100% function over form. The Insight is a nice looking car, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarleyMoose Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited. I bought it new and loved it since day 1. Though it's better days are in the rearview mirror. It's definitely time for a new ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice ride but sorry my OCD gets me every time I see this and I am sure you have a list but a great bang for the buck mod is to get a locking set of these in black: https://www.gorilla-auto.com/lug-nuts-page-03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought this C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid today. Basically the same dimensions as the Vibe it's replacing. Sure it's literally my least favorite color of car, but you can't tell from inside where it's got Android Auto for making my way to far off Walmarts without getting lost.
