    Well, here you go. Hit a fun milestone in the Crosstrek several hours ago:

    I couldn’t get a good shot (from passenger seat!) due to a rough road that caused too much movement in the dark.

    I saw enough to see your MPG is close to zero. That’s kinda familiar territory for me. :'(

    @ab348 - it's a bit hard to make out, but it's at 111,111 miles.

    Well, that seems to be what's going to happen. Not sure if my wife is going to go back to TurboTax in January at this point. If she doesn't, our timetable could be moved up a bit. But I know that she's o k with doing all this sometime in 2027 at this point. Again, it's all dependent on what our daughter does. If she does buy, think we'd move sooner as we'd have a place to stay, depending on what she does buy. We've discussed this so much lately and us all living together could work. As long as we all have a bedroom/office to go into so we're not on top of each other. I think that's why she'd rather get a 4/2 so her mom & I would each have an office to spend some private time/work time in. Some private time is healthy to be honest & I like mine.
    So, I'm at the point where I'm ready to make a move. Sure, I'll miss South Florida after all these years but think the time has come where we need to go. Our other daughter would still be a bit over 2 hours away but think we'd see them more as I won't be working once we move so we'll have more time. And my wife will keep her current clients if they choose to stay. Think it'll be a good thing to explore a new area.

    Finally got to drive a new Chevy Trax & a Equinox yesterday and was very impressed with both! The Equinox felt smaller then it is and like how Chevy redid the interior. Made it more modern if you will, as I always thought their older interiors were really plain. The Trax was almost the perfect size for me. Great interior & also liked the new dash treatment. Using Apple Car Play was super easy in both. Only issue with the Trax is that when I hit the Start/Stop button, I must've not hit it hard enough. Thought I did & got out. Other guys came over to check the car out and co-worker said the engine was still on. I couldn't hear it as it was super quiet. Checked inside & sure enough, it was still running. Turned it off and watched as the dash went dark. Amazed at how quiet the engine was and liked the acceleration in both. Both drove smoothly & vehicles I could see me with on a daily basis.
    Confused about one thing though. I know Chevy also has a Trailblazer vehicle. Looks to be similar in size to the new Trax so what really is the difference? Only thing I could come up with is maybe the Trax is small SUV while the Trail blazer being a small CUV. Haven't driven a Trailblazer yet so nothing to compare here. Also curious if both vehicles have a 4-cylinder engine or does one of them have a 3-cylinder one. Don't understand why they'd go with a 3-cylinder like the Mitsubishi Mirage? Just too small I think for any vehicle to drive on a major highway. In the city with all the stop & go traffic, sure. But on an interstate? Would not want one.

    Trax is FWD only, while the TB can be either FWD or AWD.

    Would have been a better photo at 111 MPH then.
