If your wife likes and maybe even looks forward to how the bolster hugs her when she’s driving for relatively short periods of time when she’s in the car, you ain’t doing enough of that when she’s not in the car.

Our Volvos require 91. My mom used our XC90 and the tank was pretty low. She put in 87, I swear it felt a little sluggish but didn’t knock and ran fine.

Looks like a good time to flip the Mav.

————————————————Only when you try to make it awkward. Read my post again, I was talking about “hugging” your wife.
To keep this car related when you turn that’s on you.

All the cars in the Enterprise fleet run on 87 octane. Would some of them get a bit more power on 91 or 93? Probably.

We pick up our Rivian in about an hour. Everything seems to be in order in advance, so here's hoping to an efficient process. They offered a good trade on the M340i and since that is being replaced one way or another, we figured we'd take the trade and run.
So for the M340i replacement...after all the musings yesterday, I believe she is back on to the M440i that she special ordered. The E450 wagons are still in the running though. The problem with the Macan is that it's priced just below original MSRP. I know that's not terribly unusual these days, but we're kinda struggling with that concept. If it was a 2022, I'd be more comfortable with it, but for a 2021 not so sure, particularly with the updates they made for 2022.
But who knows...these things can change at a moment's notice.

On the way home, my wife and I decided she's gonna try out the X5 as her primary for a while to see if she'd like to take it over and be her all-in-one.
So...we'll see. But yes, the potential profit is tempting. Though the auctions have settled quite a bit lately...I suspect over time they may simply reflect current MSRP, perhaps with a modest premium. And that's still a decent profit compared to the pre-March 2022 pricing.

That's a tough one.
Call a glass company right away just in case they can stop it from spreading.
Yours is a very nice color combination.
...and how were behind anyone with 800+ HP?
And the GoAT is at it again. Congrats. Love the color

@breld - congrats, looks like you might need to install a second charger in the garage! That stinks about the windshield.
Love the color. Still can’t come to terms with the front end though.

Serious question, best answered by Q, probably. Someone buys this car: https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/bellevue-1994-toyota-crown-royal-wagon/7512256946.html
How difficult is it to source parts for repairs (mechanically)? That’s ignoring body work…
Someone will find that wagon attractive. I am not that person 🤣👍
Ignore the front end. The business end is the back where the inflatable kayaks go.
At least it doesn’t need paintwork. I’d much rather have to replace the windshield.
