With a 12 year old one.

The old baby, 265,000 miles on her, still gets over 50 mpg - but can't pass e-check. It would probably take around $2000 - if we can find the parts we need, since it is no longer being supported by the manufacturer.

Sorry to see her go, but I'm pleased with my new to me Prius with 50,000 miles on it.
