Seems like a strange choice.

I still find it hard to believe that lease pricing can't be matched by GM on an Enclave or XT6.
2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
It’s got the nicer screens, NAV, pro-pilot assist, heated leather front and rear seats, pano and Harmon audio.
Loaded enough for me. I would prefer a wood trim there like my car, but not a deal breaker.
As for GM? Who knows, their leases flat out stink right now and if it were me this Volvo would be signed already. Wife can’t make up her mind.
I doubt this unit will make the weekend.

Did you scroll down to see the list of mods on that Mustang?
While I've had the car close to 7 years now, it is a '13, so an 8 y.o. car. Which still looks and drives great! Showing no signs of any issues, but then again, when the Keyless Vehicle Module went a few years ago, no signs; it just died (under warranty!). I'll probably be needing front brakes soon, should do a new battery...
I expected not big numbers, but was surprised nonetheless.

that generation Supra always seems to big and bulbous to me. I just never really liked them. The mid 80s wedge models, that is what I lust after.

Anyway, great car (I miss mine though it is not nearly as refined as the ZHP), but they don’t hold their value well at all. Bringing one back from the brink is a labor of love and not because it’ll net you any money...

All I'm sayin' here is get what she really wants and for a bit, cut back somewhere else!

Whatever, when the battery is dead in anything, one must replace it or have a brick on their hands!

The 228i I had was such a great all around value, but I would go for the extra power this next go around. M2 maybe, but for the way I drive, an M235i/240i should be way more than enough.

Now our lots are packed again to the point that when we come to work we have to park way in the back with the wrecks.

I couldn’t upload from my phone so I sent an email to me and saved on my IPad. Quick pics of the Passat.

Looking good! Both of mine are dirty, have to get them cleaned up.

As for the colors. It’s black carpet so I’m not worried at all. I have had the kids in mine a lot lately and other than normal dust and debris it’s fine. The leather cleans up easy.

Something bad happened to my left knee last Monday during an abbreviated run. It occasionally had pain, likely from a lifetime of skiing, one too many jumps and/or bumps. And then the last 5-6 years of running, it actually seemed to flare up after I ran a 10k. Been RICE-ing it; Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Slowly feeling better, but no running until next week. And, makes thinking about a third pedal a little tougher.

I do see avoiding a long term commitment to a stick if you have left knee issues. Thankfully, one of the body parts on me that still works fine is my left knee!

Still a dearth of (new, especially) cars in my area, from observation. But, I'll update if/when I progress.
