Had to get car it's 105,000 mile maintenance
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.....
You have a 
Prius,
with 
105,000
miles on it??????
What kind of crazy-ass cross country driving are you doing when I'm not looking? My car is a 97 Ford escort, ten years old, and I only 
just
broke 100,000.
	
 
		
		
yup, it's a 2002 with 104,961 miles on it.  I purchased it in 2004 with 37,000 miles.  Believe it or not, I've never taken the car farther than Santa Maria, Joshua Tree, and San Diego.  I also offer to drive all the time.  Between the rock-star parking, and a crazy ass childhood fear, ya, I like to be designated driver.
	
 
		
		
Holy crap you drive a lot.
	
 
		
		
I drive 45ish miles a day round trip for work commute alone.  Often that is 6 days a week.  Probably not as much as ND drives... but... now you know why I wanted a hybrid!
	
 
		
		
You drive a lot 
in town.
You put sixty thousand miles on it in three years!
That's insane. You crazy man.
	
 
		
		
and I drive the speed limit (well... most of the time).
	
 
		
		
 Probably not as much as ND drives... but... now you know why I wanted a hybrid!
ND drives a lot, but spreads it out over multiple cars.
Or, has been able to do so for several years now, anway. I suspect the cars he had when he was younger got a lot more miles put on them in bulk, but he was also driving to Washington and back during that time.
	
 
		
		
I make up for  you guys.  I think it ( Now) takes me 8 or 9 months to drive 3000 miles.  
	
 
		
		
Sean, Drew easily averages over 20,000 miles a year in the Escape, but yeah--he does tend to switch into a new car every couple of years. I put about 17,000/year on my Prius and plan to drive it until it falls apart.
ION, I have an awesome idea for the blog I'm writing for Victor's online literary magazine and have done all of the research I needed to do to prepare...and now I have to actually 
write 
it. Must. Focus. It was due last night. Did I mention that?
