I need to do some better cable management, but pretty happy with this setup. Lights are on and projector is on ECO.

I love the fact that I have no neighbors within a one mile radius of my home. No geezers critiquing how often I mow my lawn, no one to complain if my son and I watch movies with the sound at THX reference levels, no worries about leaving a garage door open with my tools in full view- and the list goes on.I bet a lot of your neighbors are happy that you live at least a mile away from them too.
If you can't take a leak in your front yard , then your neighbors live too close.

Yesterday marked 27 years since my Club Sport rolled off the Munich assembly line. My only to-do list is to replace the speakers- all but the rear speakers will come from Bavsound. Aside from that I'm ready to drive it for another 27 years...

I reported the dealership to Ford. Ford sent a nice note back stating they would check into it and that they value me as a customer (although it’s been a few years since I was a Ford owner). Got a standard note back from Cronin Ford’s owner/GM stating how the market is setting pricing. I sent a note back stating lying is never acceptable in business, and his dealership lied. I never heard anything back.100%. And I would have had the printout showing "my price."I was browsing local inventory of Mustang Mach-Es and came across an available GT model. Clicked on the “unlock price” option which resulted in a schedule that clearly outlines the MSRP, and the “your price” which was equal to MSRP.Man, do I hate that. I think I may have had a conversation with the SM for wasting my time.
So, thought I may go check it out…could be a good deal at MSRP and you’d get the “old” tax credit. Made an appointment with a salesperson for yesterday afternoon, got a call in the morning from a sales manager to confirm the appointment. Got there promptly at 4:00. The salesperson has information available on the available new GT and a slightly used one they have in the showroom. Then he mentions something about markups on available units that customers had backed out on. Huh? Oh yeah…$10k markup on Mach-E GTs.
Ford has been cracking down on markups, so I'm sure they'd like to hear if the dealer wasn't honoring their own quoted price with ADM.

Well I have another unplanned/unexpected punch to report. Thanks to @breld I found this yesterday a couple of hours before the auction ended:
https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3RvB1QAX/2021-volvo-v60-t8-polestar-engineered
We looked at one of these a couple of years ago here and I've always had a thing for them. I occasionally look for them and being such low production numbers they rarely come up for sale and finding a new one is even more challenging.
Unfortunately this one does have an accident on the CarFax but after @breld and @michaell and I texted about it I feel it was repaired well and the ending price was reflective of a CarFax ding. I had been eyeing a similar model in silver at a dealer in Palm Springs that also had a "minor" accident on the CarFax and they were asking low 70's, who knows what they got for it but I feel OK with the price I paid for this car considering this market and a new one is also low $70's.
I'm working on getting it shipped out here, if nothing else it will help keep some miles off the Defender for a bit which is almost halfway to out of warranty.
