After driving my Hyundai for 16 years, it’s finally starting to fail. So I’m going to join the rich life now… and get a Toyota. Here’s to the next 16.

Lots of Toyotas are at least made in America!

Prepare to be in love. My Toyota has about 290k on it, and we've had it for 10 years. Keep it stock: keep it running.

Apparently THE car choice of Bitcoiners! I got my first Toyota in 2019 before discovering Bitcoin… In 2022 my rationale for getting a Toyota was confirmed by a wonderful and rapid growing community 🥳🚙
My trusty Mitsubishi has 326,000km on the clock and still going strong. Not looking forward to the day he gives up and I have to get a car full of electronics and subscriptions.

Never drove a car less than 15 years . Bike turnover quicker though.
Music to my ears, I love seeing/hearing humble successful people. PSA if it’s a new Toyota opt out of all the Data sharing , look into Toyota Privacy Hub.
my yota turned 25 this year, only 240k miles 🐳 the roof is starting to leak tho where there was roof damage from years long previous bad parking situation under a pool. mechanically, just absolutely killing it.

Do a Toyota hybrid. If you deep-dive it you’ll find that it’s a very elegant system that’s mechanically much simpler than any other ICE with basically built-in reliability

Haha, moving up to that Toyota life—welcome to the "rich" club! Here's to another 16 years of reliable rides and new adventures. Congrats on the upgrade!
Lyn. Serious question. What percentage of Hyundai drivers make it to 16 yrs? Gotta be less than 1% Maybe 0.1% That is like lifetime achievement award shit right there 🏆
Sold my ’98 Corolla last year, it also had 240k but wasn't doing well. The door handles kept breaking/wearing out too which was a pain, eventually I was getting in & out of the car through the passenger door 😂 Awesome car though, would love another but the prices for used are kinda silly. I bought mine in 2015 for $450. 👍

My wife and I always say there are two habits that have made us relatively wealthy compared to our peers: cooking (rarely eating out) and driving good cars for many years (little desire for new/different vehicles). The amount of $ we see people spend monthly on these two things is astounding and, if saved, can make one wealthy.

Buy a good used one. The newer Toyotas just aren’t what they used to be

you won't get 16 years with a new car
Hi Lyn! I just realized my Hyundai is also 16 years old, but it's still going strong. But Toyota is a good choice. Perhaps the most sensible car manufacturing company.
This is the car u need Lyn. In the Arab world it’s called Bu Shanab… which translates to “father of mustache” because the paint trim kinda looks like an epic stache image
My 1999 Toyota Tacoma has over 300K miles on it and still runs great. Unfortunately, I do not know if a newer Toyota will be built to last just as long. But it’s not a bad reputation to gamble on.

have you tried making some kind of video on this? and try selling it to one of them (toyota or Hyundai) ? these days personal and genuine user experience like yours are worth gold to manufacturers.

Go for a pre 2006 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder and the next 16 years will be a breeze! They're the Nokia 3310 of cars 😎

Can’t go wrong with Toyota. What model did you get?

Why not a Tesla? Time to switch from a flip phone to a smartphone.
