Putting together a "short list" of potential replacements I'd consider purchasing used for when the Ariya goes back at the end of its lease:
Ioniq 5
Mach E
Polestar 2
XC40 Recharge
ID.4
Solterra/bZ4X
Kona/NiroI suspect used Blazer and Equinox EVs will be below $30k by the end of the year, so I'd consider those, as well. I also had the i3s REX on the list, but I think I would grow tired of needing to use the REX (and its extremely limited fuel capacity) on longer trips. Of course, this all assumes I decide to keep an EV in the fleet, and that there aren't lease deals to be had.
There’s one glaring omission here. I mean, your name IS corvette…

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
I got to drive a BMW i4 today. It was as fast as a scalded cat but the controls were not at all intuitive. In my drive I couldn’t figure how to operate the climate controls. Maybe that’s why I started out with 143 miles of range and ended up with 155. I didn’t need to use the brakes because the regenerative system was set up like a boat anchor. I assume it could be adjusted to be less aggressive but again, not intuitive. We even had a hard time unplugging the thing from the charger until I remember these things had a security feature that prevents some power pirate from unplugging your car by locking the plug until you unlock the car.Wouldn’t you be afraid of buying a used EV because of the risk of battery issues? I know on the Mazda CX-90 forums the PHEV models are having an epidemic of battery failures.Not really. Anything I would buy, other than an i3, would still be under powertrain warranty for a while.

I never understood hating someone you once liked enough to marry that you would rather give money to a lawyer instead of splitting it with your ex.

This is why I have repeatedly said that I'd rather go back to work for the highway department picking up dead animals than practice family law.Just today I heard a story where a guy hated his ex so much he sued her to stop using his last name.
No, I'm not joking.

Steel (or fiberglass) Viagra. The wives are sitting there calculating how big a diamond she can buy with what the husband spent on his toy.Old liquored-up guys with lots of money are easy pickings for the auction hype machine.I kind of understand that for the original. But a replica, seems odd.
TBH, I don’t understand why you would spend anything over $100K for a car at auction. I would be afraid to drive one costing $250K and up. I call those “lookin’ cars” rather than “driving’ cars”.
