And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Almost anything Toyota will be super reliable, but because of that they hold their value really well, so it's harder to find one that is cheap that isn't also old with lots of miles.

We found this out about Subarus when we went to replace our ancient Forrester a few years back. Turns out EVERYONE drives their Forresters into the ground so finding one used is really difficult and won't save you any money. (The one we were replacing was 15 years old, over 100k miles on it, and only needed replacing because it wasn't able to survive being hit head-on by a very stupid other driver.)

Hah, yes, my Toyota is now 20 or 21 years old, and I've had it for almost 19??!?! I'm not sure how that's possible. It's got dents and is a beater, at this point, but it's only got 140K on it, so....hard to justify getting rid of, until I need to!

Our wings are not tired.

My biggest issue with getting a car is getting people to respond. I have contacted 5 people about vehicles. One was sold. One responded Yes when I asked about coming to see it, but no follow up with a where or when. The other 3, silence. I don't want to end up going to a used car lot, but I may have to do so.

Yeah, I see late 80s and early 90s era Toyota trucks sell for $15k to $20k if they are low mileage and were well maintained. It's bonkers.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Don't really have an advice on buying cars. All my cars prior to the current one were Toyota Corollas(current one is a Honda Civic) and all were bought new.

Anyone ever have a PT Cruiser? This one seems a good price for the mileage. [link]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The Echo is a 2000 and I've had it for 16 years. *Definitely* a beater! I should actually go see if it starts, because we haven't driven it in a while.

I called in sick to work yesterday due to a migraine. That was a good decision. Unfortunately, today I have 8 meetings, and it's only 8 because a meeting was rescheduled for tomorrow last minute.

And now it looks like my dad tested positive for prostate cancer, so now we get to wait for a biopsy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear. Dad~ma, shrift, whatever that might look like right now.

Laura - Mac briefly had a PT, it was not great.

Shrift, I'm so sorry.
