Since y'all know far more then I do about cars.

I don't drive much or care about cars at all, probably put maybe 5-10k per year on it with two people driving the thing. My budget is whatever, but cheaper's better. I could do electric, but I don't think I qualify for the subsidies due to my income. Thinking about a volt or leaf as that'd be easy enough to handle I think? Longest trips should be maybe 80-100 miles round trip. All I'm really looking for is something I can do an oil change and inspection on occasionally and doesn't bother me otherwise.

I could also look at hybrids but my main worry there is the more poo poo there is in a car just means the more poo poo that can break.

The other part of the ideal is a car I can drive to tomorrow, buy and then have by next week sometime. Kinda scrolling through edmunds and carmax

Most of what you wrote there is the same as 90% of the people who post in the "recommend me a car" thread in AI, and the borderline meme recommendation is a Prius. Toyota has earned (and maintained) their reputation for being pretty much bulletproof if you stick to the recommended maintenance schedule, and incredibly bullet resistant even if you don't.

I don't have enough experience to weigh in on much about electric vehicles (other than you won't need to worry about oil changes if you get one). If you have reliable access to a charger at home and would be doing max 80-100 mile round trips, it does sound like a pretty solid use case for electric, though.

If you don't want to commit to electric, look at a Mazda 3. Toyota dealers know their reputation so they upcharge like crazy.

You pretty much can't go wrong with a gas powered Toyota either. I have a current gen Camry and as long as I don't drive like an idiot I can get 42 on the highway.

If you can't or won't swing the upfront cost on a Toyota, Mazda and Honda are great choices too. Really I think as long as you stay away from turbos, CVTs, Stellantis brands, and Kias/Hyundais from before 2022 you're going to find a good car.

Not sure what the timeframe is, but it'll warn you if you're moving around and an air tag is moving with you. It says it'll even let you activate its audible alarm without alerting the account its tied to.

"Yes I can hear you, I don't have ear cancer!"

I read both The Late Shift and The War for Late Night over the last couple of weeks and my biggest takeaway is that being a TV exec must be great because you can make the dumbest loving decisions at every turn and still have a successful career.

My second is that Leno is a comedy automaton who can only feel something if he’s destroying someone’s dream and hiding it behind his ah shucks persona.
