i averaged 15~20k a year on every car i 've owned so far.
But not the ES. Since i bought the car January of2019, i have driven it exactly 4900 miles. Just from home to work and vice versa.
I stopped going on joy rides or scenic rides.

I don't know how to explain it, but this car has taken the "JOY" out of driving. it's a great car do not get me wrong. it serves a purpose.
I would have enjoyed the car and appreciated it more if i was maybe 20 years older. i'm 39 and i think this is the most boring car i have ever driven in my life. Comes close to my first freebie car, an oldsmobile 88. But the 88 had the most amazing bench seats ever.

I'm 25 & I love this car. But I feel you. I'm not a thrill driver anyway. I like cruising and being all about the character of the car. I get a few compliments here and there and most importantly I enjoy the heck out of it. It's my first car that I own. My parents let me drive their 2000 Camry ce and compared to that thing this ES may as well be a Bugatti. Not to hijack the post, but why get the ES in the first place. The IS is similar in price and would have given you the fun aspect.

This is the whole point for me. I drove my RX-7 around most of the day yesterday, then got in the ES to go to the grocery store and my *** was loving it. hahaha.

I am loving the black painted grill and wheels. I plan to do the same to mine. Mine is the same white ES as yours.

Edit: I do not know how to delete a post so, I just realized that you have the crafted line. Still awesome though.
