according to Ford site my 1st truck ordered is now showing as in production. Started early! So I assume by end of the week, or early next week it will show as built, then just sits around waiting on transit. So it might actually show up before Christmas. Then I just have to decide what to do with it!
The Lime Rush ones are selling at a premium, from what I've heard. One of the cheapest Toyota dealers in the country is at $1,500 over MSRP for the regular ones.

Sell it to @28firefighter. It doesn’t sound like he’ll have his Jeep much longer.

It sounds like asking for permission might have been the tactical error, there.
Equal partnership. I get veto power over her big spends and vice versa.
That’s what I like, a 50/50 marriage. Although yours isn’t like mine. Our 50/50 is I make it and she spends it. It’s amazing how well that has worked for over 50 years.

As to cars I can generally do whatever I want as long as I can tolerate the side eye look of disdain. Even though she knows I’m as cheap as she is and won’t be too extravagant I always like to get her stamp of approval.
Generally we each have our own money and don’t try to control the other’s spending. Just the other day I asked her if it would be ok with her if I donated $1000 to a particularly deserving charity. She said “do what you want, I’ve been donating more than that for years.” I never knew.
Maybe she has a garage full of Maseratis hidden somewhere that I don’t know about either.

My wife tells me to just get whatever car I want. She knows I’m too frugal to go too overboard. Though if I did start mentioning a Porsche at $1,2000/month I might get more than a side eye.

A pair of good Nike running shoes has saved me more than once doing stuff like that.

I get full power though over stuff like a new gas grill or lawn mower!
That reminds me of when we built our first house. Although we got to choose a few things I decided that I’d do some things once we got situated since we weren’t exactly rolling in money especially with Son #1 being just a newborn. After about 6 projects, most of which were for her, she said, “and what new tool do you HAVE to buy to do this project. Sometimes I think the only reason you don’t complain about doing this stuff is because you get to buy new tools.” After that those home projects just weren’t as much fun. And here I thought I was soooo clever.

Taking RDX in for 2nd oil change Monday (just ticked over 11k miles). Maybe I can buy a car while i’m there! Not likely. But will ask if they have any clue when the much maligned integra actually comes out. I’m guessing June maybe.
The new Golf R is coming in at 3,400 pounds. Not terrible considering dual clutches and AWD. There's something to be said for the considerably lighter GTI, but it has less power and FWD.

I read where the TLX is actually one of the few models thats has a slow take rate these days so maybe, just maybe, there’s a deal there? I don’t understand it. I think its a great balance between luxury, sport and value. The new one has porked up a bit though.

I just looked at my dealer's website. They list 11 2021's. only 4 with pictures though so definitely there (or were at some point!). 1 FWD tech (what I would get probably) with the rest looking to be either A Specs or Advance packages.
oddly, they have a ton of RDXs listed (even more than I recall back when I was shopping). So there is something out there if you are shopping.
Order submitted for TRX. Chapman is 11% off MSRP. Everything taken into consideration, they would come to roughly $800 more than Koons, but Koons wants $1k deposit.

The new G42 M240i has received good reviews in the British press. Similar performance to an M2C with more of a grand touring vibe. If I wanted one I knew that it would likely be a bit of a wait as I want RWD and a sunroof delete, but now with the chip shortage it's impossible to predict what might be deleted on an order. For example, SXM is now deleted with a $350 credit. Supposedly it can be retrofitted later, but my sources tell me that BMW has yet to disclose when/how that will be available.

I’ve read that BMW is ditching the touch screen functionality on some of their models.
I'm sure it is overpriced (but these days, who the heck knows?) But this is just a gorgeous car. Love the color combo on it. pretty nicely equipped too.

Just order another one. Even if the lease is $200/mo more, you are way ahead.

Salesperson tells me still no word on the Mach E fix. I have reached out to Koons about the TRX. I have a feeling the wait time may kill that, though.
