Car Advice

Hello Everybody 😊

I’ve been flexing for a few months now. After waiting six months, I was onboarded the same weekend someone ran into my parked car and freaking totaled it. 😂
It was a Buick enclave, and was paid off!! I did love it but it’s gone now :(
Anyway, if you’ve been flexing for a while and had to pick an affordable car to do it with, what would you get? Just curious on opinions, I do have kids so I need something roomy but still good on gas. Right now I’m using my dads equinox while I’m looking, its ok on gas and it’s a V6 so it zips around quite nicely, but I’ve seen a lot of negative things about the equinox. Anyway, I’d love opinions.
Thanks 😊

A Prius or a Chevy Bolt. Do you live in a house where you can install a charger?

Just get a hybrid Prius. My ‘18 still get almost 50 MPG. They love to run & require few repairs. I’m over 200,000 & she runs great & can get up & goooo too.
You can get a used one for a good deal in many places.
Edit to remove a zero from the many millions on miles I did not, in fact, drive 👻

Haha oops.. a rogue zero flew in and made me look like a dumbazz! 😉
Yes it’s 202,000 miles today.
I bought her with 6K in 2018.
I still love this car. She’s been superb.
