My 2002 Camry's come up to 180K miles, and it's due for the timing belt/major   
   service. I've got 20K miles left on the tires and need to replace one of the   
   motor mounts. I figured it's going to be $2K or so.   
      
   I drive 20K miles a year, and my Camry's mileage has been hovering around 21   
   mpg.   
      
   California's running out of the hybrid/electric decals that let you drive in   
   carpool lanes.   
      
   I bit the bullet this weekend and bought a Camry plug-in hybrid. My company has   
   a charging station so I can charge it when I get here. With a full charge and   
   tank of regular gas, I got 62 MPG on the way to work.   
      
   I put down a good down payment and got 0.0% APR on the remainder, I'll be able   
   to subsidize a big chunk of the payment with gas savings.
