Cool! The least I made was $2.50 per hour (less than minimum wage in 1989) and now I make around 10 times that, about $25 per hour. I guess making lots of money was never a priority for me.

Unless it's a Ford. Although, maybe Fords are much better than they used to be, just not a whole lot better than the rest.
I think my Avalon is the best car I've ever owned in terms of build quality and reliability. It has never broken down, with the exception of a dead 12V battery. In all my other cars there was always something that would break down. The only main thing wrong with the Avalon is the infotainment center has some sort of problem and doesn't work correctly. I do need to find out how much an HV battery replacement will cost so I can save up for it, which should be easier to do now that the car is paid off.
