70k miles and the batteries are shot on electric cars of nowadays. You could buy a small commuter car for that price!View attachment 25062
Yes. But remember that is a hybrid battery. It's only way of staying charged is through driving and abuse. And it's also at least 2 generations old in terms of battery tech. Early adopters are definitely paying the price for that now.

My dad had an 05 Civic hybrid that did 170k before the battery was shot. And replacement then was 10k. But at 170k on the car it had served its purpose.

Do any of you still Ingress? I know there were a few many years ago. I decided to open it on a whim this weekend and there's lots of shiat around my normal walking spots. Might have to get back into it.

Had to look it up lol - Is it like pokemon go or something?
It preceded Pokémon Go by like two years. And was the initial basis for that game. It's basically a augmented reality capture the flag/geocaching game where you visit places and interact with the game at that location. When you start the game you pick a side, blue or green, and you spend time holding, capturing, or destroying these places for your team. It's interesting in that it takes you to places that you wouldn't normally go and if you're in a new place it can show you interesting cultural or historical places.

Replaced the struts on mom's Nissan Rogue - Krom this weekend, only to find the subframe bushings are totally shot and the subframe clunks going down the road.

I can't tackle that job and no telling what the bill for that will be.
