A Toyota Tundra owner has reportedly racked up almost 900,000 miles in about six years. The figures required for it to accomplish that task include approximately $150,000 in fuel costs. Evidently, it’s on the original engine and hasn’t needed much in the way of major maintenance. Trucks are supposed to be rugged and dependable but few make it past 200,000 miles (~321,000 km) without serious repairs.

The Subaru WRX was reborn in 2022, with a new look and a new lease on life. Sitting further than ever from the Impreza on which it was once based, Subaru pitched the latest model as a more grown-up take on the formula. It even axed the WRX STI, breaking the hearts of rally enthusiasts, yobbos, and bank robbers the world over. The new 2024 Subaru WRX Club Spec aims to fill that void.
