I'm not particularly risk-averse, but rolling the dice on a $10,000 bet that could blow up in your face in two weeks---that wouldn't be an easy loss for me to write off.

But, good chance the S60 could have a clearance lease push over the summer. Can you hackers monitor that for me? I would love an XC60, but that will never be cheap enough. And the V60 is way too rare.

@stickguy - Send me a PM with what you might be interested in and I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I'm surprised by the range of bikes and prices out there. I looked up the specs on a BMW she was eyeing. A 2013 with 5k miles, 0-60 in 3.4 secs, all for a measly $4500. Talk about a performance bargain.
I found a very pretty 1967 Triumph, but she has no interest in anything out of the ordinary.

I made it a point to run E85 the whole time. I now understand how electric vehicle drivers complain about charging stations getting "ICE'd" by non-electric vehicles. On the way there, I stopped at the Meijer in Champaign, Illinois to fill up with E85. Only one pump had E85, and one side of it had an "out of order" sign on the E85 nozzle. The other side had an unoccupied vehicle parked in it. I fired up the Gasbuddy app and found a Mobil just down the street which offered E85. On the return trip, I stopped again at the Mobil. Both sides of the lone E85 pump were occupied. Tried the Meijer. Again a vehicle was parked in front of the lone working E85 nozzle. Grabbed lunch at Wendy's, checked Meijer next door (again), and that slot was occupied by another vehicle. Back to Mobil, and was able to fill up. Oddly enough, the Meijer in Champaign is also a Tesla Supercharger station. There were no Teslas to be seen the one time I drove by that area of the property.
A hidden gem--the eastbound Spoon River rest area on I-74 in Illinois has a little walking trail with a covered bridge, an uncovered bridge, and a lookout tower. I didn't plan the stop for that reason, so it was completely spontaneous, but I gladly partook of all three to stretch my legs. Now, it's pretty random, and to be honest, the lookout tower is not the most scenic of views (you can see a lot of the interstate), but it was a nice touch and well maintained. A very pleasant surprise!
Bigger question is what I replace it with.
Here are a few possibilities from the dealer we plan to visit on Sat.

I want one of these
Or something like this (yeah, that price is a bit wacky, but it's cool)
However, the constantly devolving skill of local drivers still has me very hesitant to get on a bike on anything but a weekend morning with light traffic.
