Meet Xena! (December 5, 2025)



I've missed the Zoomer since hail did it in back in 2022. Losing Max became the big chance to find a stick shift replacement. I wanted something with reasonable mileage and a reasonable price, preferably a Toyota, Honda, or Mazda. We found only ONE car in the entire Austin area that fit the criteria! Apparently nobody drives standard anymore. The Toyota dealership near us came through with a 2018 Mazda3 with about 76,000 miles on it. I had to drive it for the gas fill up because the salesperson didn't know how to drive stick! We knew Xena was the right choice when they put on the new license plate and it ends in "6-7," the 2025 word of the year. Nod to Otis for defining the term for us. :-)
