^assuming an average speed of 60 mph....that's 2000 hours behind the wheel! or 83.3 days!!! Considering both my '05 Corolla and '86 Camry have 236,000 and 247,000 respectively, that's a lot of time on one's backside.

^Those are kilometers not miles. There aren't many places outside the US that still use the imperial system.

Fortunately mine is a stick drive and driving for me is a pleasure; I understand the 2018 Corolla is still available with a manual transmission: the old sleeper-team trucker in me dies hard! Oh California!

You should buy an older Citroen CX, XM or Xantia. Best suspension of all
(Xantia is best regarding longevity and fuzz-free driving)

I don't think I've ever seen a Citroen in the US.

I have seen a few here in Canada but they are rare.

Spent last night in a motel in Rivičre-du-Loup, Quebec with wife and son. Coming home after a week in Ontario for Christmas. Got an early start this morning and took this.



For you American chaps.. -22F.

Gives a new meaning to 'cool pics'.
