I am turning into an old man...

...hopefully a wise one. So with my hour and some change daily commute and the mini being a 16 year old german car that gets abused on the regular I have done something some thought impossible. I have acquired a new vehicle.

Oppo meet the new daily, a 2008 Toyota avalon. In straight up old person spec, silver on silver, 150k on the clock and it’s a limited trim level so it has everything option available most of which I have no need for but I’m not complaining.

It does have a few minor issues, being an old person car it has it’s share of dents and scratches, the passenger side fender has clearcoat peeling from a previous repair, the tire light and service light are on. I don’t think those lights are any real issues but I won’t know until I put my obd scanner on it which is currently in the mini which is stuck behind a locked fence at my workplace.
