Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.
Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?
And they’ll blame the Orange Line

Grande Cherokee. Have one since 2020. Never has issues.
Hahaha I hope this is sarcasm.
I don’t think Jeep and reliable belong in the same sentence.
Any Lexus/toyota. They’re built to run forever
A used Lexus GX
Yup

Used Lexus GX 100%
Not German or British cars.
In general I agree. However, a well maintained used Mercedes G Wagen (a non-AMG) would fit OP’s criteria for extreme reliability.
Speaking of german cars, our X4 has been great for 10 years plus, the X3 would give you a tad more utility. The N56 engine platform has been around forever and only gets more reliable.
B58 even better if you can swing it
When evaluating vehicles, consider the total cost of ownership instead of just longevity. Total cost of ownership calculators and studies can provide valuable insights. Brands like Toyota, known for reliability, may have higher upfront costs, representing a premium on expected durability. You may keep such a vehicle long-term, justifying this premium, or encounter early issues—like recent Tundra engine problems—where that premium may not be worthwhile.
Alternatively, you might choose a vehicle you enjoy, even if it won’t last 20 years, but costs 25% less. This way, you can roll those savings into a newer vehicle when the time comes, rather than committing to an “old reliable” long-term.
I drive a Durango SRT…
Not saying I follow my own advice by any means haha. But if I were OP I’d consider tco over presumed longevity
Lexus. Used or new. Nothing else comes close.
I think you might be able to get one of the smaller SUVs with a basic trim for <65k brand new.
Make it up to $70k and get a 2024 BMW M40i off the lot whatever they have available at this point
Used Lexus LX, big and reliable, also not too common to see on the road, I’ve seen some maybe like 3-4 years old in that price range.
