Pretty sweet, eh? Jesse's Classic Prius is still going strong with the original battery-pack. There are more photos available on my website for those interested in his adventures (lots of traveling, obviously).

Awesome! 221k miles, and the tank is still full!

Wow John that is awesome! I hope your website has pics of your car? What is the exterior condition of your car? How many problems have you had with the car. Shoot maybe that is all on your website. Gotta go check. Was just amazed when I saw your miles!

You give hope to the rest of us!

Impressive!

OMG! I only got 200,000 out of my last Toyota! :-)

That is awesome. I guess this answers the biggest question regarding life expectancy of the prius. I've got a long way to go...only got 735 mi. under the belt so far.

Pretty neat. John, you outta put a series on your site with the 150k+ cars listed, 200k+ cars and 250k+ cars. Nice place to point the nay sayers.

Very impressive!

When people ask how long I expect this car to last I can send them over to you.

For years, I've waited to establish a 100,000 mile club. Now it appears as though that's finally realistic.

If people send me photos, I'll supply the webpages & bandwidth for our stash of rebuttal material.
