Mew Car!

After my air conditioning broke down, and my old car's air conditioning had also broken down, I determined I really needed... well, a new air conditioner, yes. But also, a new car. My 2004 Honda Accord was just about 14 years old after all!

So I went shopping.



I decided on this BMW i3. It's electric with a range extender, so it'll go about 100 miles on a full battery and 60 more with the gasoline engine adding power. Plenty enough to get to San Purrancysco and back! And it's super-adorable. ^_^



Here's the BeMew parked at work! I still need to get my purrsonalized license plate for it, I haven't gotten them from the DMV yet. I have loaded it up with most of my favorite mewsyc though!

That is a super cute car! How long does it take the battery to charge up?

Hey now, my Camry is a 2004, and it's still going strong. :D I can't see myself getting a new car any time soon. Knock on wood!

It's not particularly speedy at charging, but overnight brings it up up to full from 50% (and I start it charging at 9 PM for reduced cost). You can get a 'fast' charger but I don't feel the need to pay a premium for that since I don't drive a lot.

Camries are a pretty reliable bunch of cars. For my part, I really wanted to upgrade rather than pay increasingly more than the car was worth to keep it going. (its trade-in value was like $2k or so)
