I'm so grateful my hybrid from over a decade ago still gets 45mpg. People thought me crazy to drop roughly $5k more on a car but who's laughing now?

Although, there were so few options back then and I really wanted an EV, even before we had places to charge it. If I just had a little more money I'd probably have had to get a Tesla. No way past me would have guessed the current state of things regarding that... I knew gas was gonna be a liability, but not that Elon was a lunatic, or even who he was. This was pre-Trump, even!
