This is making me think of my current fleet...
Edited by EffinIllini on May 3, 2024, 13:46:00
2017 Toyota Highlander 162k miles 2014 Jeep Wrangler 118k miles 2011 Nissan Altima 222k miles Hoping the Altima holds out until August 2025 so it can be my youngest daughter's ride when she turns 16. By then the oldest will have finished undergrad next spring and be in grad school. Will need to get her a new ride as she hands hers down. The Highlander is the workhorse and racks up miles at a rate of about 30k a year. Probably going to need to replace it as it approaches 200k in a year+. So probably looking at buying 2 vehicles* in the next <15 months, while I keep driving one that's over 10 years old and "only" at 117k miles. *Assuming the Altima hangs on and I'm not buying 3. yikes Previous Message Here it is next to the iX. 2018 GTI with the Dual-Clutch transmission. I've been driving it a bit and having mini drive me around in it on his learner's What I'm realizing is how much fun driving a small, quick car is compared to just about anything else. I love driving electric, but the iX is just to effing big for my tastes. I really want to have a car this size with more luxury/tech in EV format though.
