My wife has it in Pocatello. She drives it hard. New in 2008. Has 90000 miles. I put about 6000 of those on with 3 round trips to San Diego. First and last hybrid. The leather seats with seat heat are nice in -15F weather. The gas mileage will never repay the higher initial cost. The tax incentive was less than half of what was promised. Net loss vs a similar gas only model.

My 86.5 Nissan PU also has 90,000 miles. Sold my electric scooter ‘cuz I didn’t want to replace the SLAs again. But it was a fun bike for around the neighborhood. Latest project on the bikes has been installing a compression release on the CR500; I’m too old to make much use of it now but will ride it around the ORV parking lot someday. Still trail ride on occasion but generally stay within walking distance of the truck lol.
