I'm wondering if you should somehow modify your signature line to show the cars you have on order - perhaps bold or italicize them?

Yeah, as much as I’d like to put fat tires in it to butch it up, I’m not spending the money to do it.

Most modern cars have trays bolted to the bottom of the car that catch most little leaks and drips. If you’re seeing oil on your driveway, then you likely have a non-trivial leak.
Also, why does this car keep eating coolant? Between that and the oil leak I would start to be concerned about broader unaddressed issues.

I would agree - rather than attending to the symptoms as they pop up, a more thorough investigation into the root causes of these issues needs to be done, else it's possible something more serious could happen.
You might want to discuss this with the wife, as it may be time to think about a replacement.

He needs one like most of us seem to have "my car is making a funny noise. Go fix it".
I agree though with the others. when you are seeing abnormal things happening (oil drips and disappearing coolant both qualify) you should get a thorough inspection ASAP to figure out why. At least gives you a chance to fix a small problem before it becomes a much bigger, and more expensive, one.
Many a head gasket has been lost because of ignoring low coolant.

Not that it has *bad* tires, but I'm sure they're getting up there in years.
Tires are good. Brakes are good. Good looking fluids. No leaks. MAYBE the rear shocks are a little weak. But, so far, I have found no obvious mechanical needs.

Might have been a good deal, but more likely to be a silly price. But don't know until you look. I also don't now anything about them so buying based on my gut could be dangerous. As could explaining it to my wife!

Of course, this advice is coming from the guy without a spouse. The rest of us are projecting our lives onto Sandy's situation.

I hope so. So far, so good. I like it quite a bit.

Told her we'll keep an eye on the garage floor for the next week and go from there. She'll be working from home all this week so doubt she'll be driving much and if we find any issues, will make an appointment to drop it off at the mechanic's for a look see the following Thursday when I'll be off. I'll be hitting 69K very shortly and she's down around 65.8K miles right now so best to fix whatever problem it is & just keep it. Told her that they don't expect the chip issue to end much before the middle of 2023 so buying new might just have to wait for a bit.

In any event I would suggest the Lexus IS instead of any German brand if reliability is of such concern.

I sent him a PM a while back. He was okay- just busy.

So a trunk would be fine for her, but we do want at least 1 utility/cargo hauling vehicle in the fleet.

Hmm, he’s retired so hoping he is truly okay.
Have been considering the Lexus UX hatch to be honest to but have none in stock, new or CPO'd in South Florida. Now, if going with Lexus, I'd definitely lease and then decide on buying it out depending on how much they want after the term is up. Looks to be a nice vehicle with all the Toyota reliability just a bit on the pricey side. And if it fits in the garage, a definite contender there. But thinking the newer Corolla Cross would be a better fit for my needs at a smaller entry price. And now that I'm not even doing 3500 miles/year, would have it a real long time which ain't really an issue for us. It'll surely be reliable so I can just enjoy it though it might become a bit boring. But boring with great reliability is what I'm looking for now so I'm all in!

I don’t know how others in here feel about this but I’m tired of hearing about this childish MY side and HER side of the garage thing.
If I wanted Mrs. j’s so called side of the garage I’d just take it. As long as the two cars each of you want fit in the garage you have now what the hell difference does it make which car is on which side of the garage?

seems like there might be one in stock at one dealer in my area. May have to wander down and check it out if true. Or send TJC, it's closer to him! Not that I expect it to actually be there.
would be nice to actually compare it back to back to the Integra. Which won't be happening any time soon of course. I miss the old days of car shopping and seeing whatever you wanted!

The left side of our garage is much deeper than the right which has the stairs to inside. I gave my wife the left side since her car is longer, plus it’s easier to pull in on the left.
Some day when I get my classic land yacht we will have no choice but to switch sides.
