My hiking group and I were on our way to Yosemite when my mom emails me.

"Congratulations! You got a new hybrid car. Dad drove 38 miles to pick it up". This is by far one of the biggest investments to date. There goes my savings, but I get to keep my old trusty Honda. I have over 200k miles on it and it's still going strong. The only major parts I've replaced in the 9 years of owning it was the radiator, water pump, and thermostat.
