That's probably the type of thing that I should actually be driving.
Seems like a hell of a buy for the price to me. I kind of want it.

As such...

And done. You can easily DIY replace it.
$2500 for a non running Prius with almost 200K miles? :wtf: :nope: :really: :hellno:
The battery fix which costs anywhere between $50-500 will get that thing back up to 4k "value" and it has nearly no running costs. 200k miles for a prius is nothing.

Not rich after you factor in COI. Image But we went down this path before. I only have a 1 car garage... going to a 2 car is going to cost 400k down and 6k a month. A bit more than a "few grand a year" unless you want to rent a garage somewhere.
Why do you need a garage with the best weather in the world?

We are going to a 1-car carport which will be the best setup I've ever had... I still have had multiple cars often and work on them.

That car is too dangerously slow for a track, it's highly unsafe.

Man, that sounds great, but the noise would get fucking old.

We can fantasize about the sound of a straight piped GT3 or a screaming v10/12, but the reality is you’ll be listening to some poor on a clapped out GSXR600 with no discernible exhaust muffling. Let me tell you those things are physically painful to listen to

Lowered the lifetime MPG calc by 1 whole MPG haha.
