A gentleman of taste and distinction you mean?

My wife and I drive his and hers Priuses. Retired, I dress in what ever the hell I want. She wears a corporate management uniform. I'm not a tree hugger, just frugal.

Both cars have over 130,000 miles. Batteries are just as strong as when new. She still gets 46 mpg, and I get 42 (I have the Touring Edition with fatter tires). We got that same mileage driving out of the showroom parking lot (okay, maybe less...).

Best. Damned. Cars. Ever. If you think we're crazy, go rent one for a week.

I thought of getting a Prius, but the payback vs my Honda Fit would take too long, if it every evened out.


Actually, the Fit and the Prius have nearly identical long term TCO.

I've taken over 380,000 photos within a 2 year period. That count seemed unbelievably high.


Two years, 730 days. 380,000/730 = 521 shots per day, day in, day out. Yes, unbelievably high!

I'm a guy who wore out two shutters (D100 & D70) shooting sports and social events. And I have had days where I shot well over 1000 images (multiple events) but I know I never averaged 500 + shots day after day! What are you shooting?

Priuses passes the spellcheck. Prii doesn't.

I took two years of Latin, too. Priora would be plural. However, some snooty marketing types at Toyota USA like Prii. Some Latin scholars don't.

Questions about the accuracy of the OP's statistic go unanswered ... Asking the internet about the accuracy of www.camerashuttercount.com show comments all over the place raising still more questions about the OP's statistic...

You mean one that goes round corners and one that goes fast in a straight line?
