Sadly, my current daily driver is silver.

It's got 168K on the odo...my first thought was, that's a lot of miles for an '09 (which it is), but it's also an indication that most of those miles are probably highway miles. We took the car to my mechanic to have him check it out before we bought it and the only thing he found wrong was a small leak in a rear section of the exhaust...said it would be about $200 to replace. He recommended the car and said he's seen several 300K+ mile Echos (which have the same drive train as the Yaris, so they are very well built. I'm going to change the fluids and filters and give it a good detailing inside and out this weekend...and BTW, the red is my favorite color...
