This was my first real motorcycle (had mopeds and dirt bikes). I purchased it in 2014 for $500. Still drive it a few weeks every summer as of 2024! I don't ride enough to get anything bigger or newer, I love it though!

I bought this car from my uncle in 2021; he had purchased it new back in 2014. It was a solid daily driver when I got it, with around 80,000 miles on the odometer. Unfortunately, it began showing typical CVT issues almost immediately.
In 2022, I drove it to and from St. Louis - a round trip of 800 miles over 10 hours. Then in 2023, I took it on another long haul to Kansas City, KS, totaling 1,200 miles and 22 hours of driving.
Later that year, my girlfriend accidentally backed it into a family member’s parked vehicle, causing significant cosmetic damage to the rear passenger fender—and even more damage to the other car.
By March 2024, with 110,000 miles on it, the car got stuck in limp mode. It’s now  a glorified lawn ornament.
