    @nyccarguy, hopefully the weather will cool down a mite up there. We’re used to it, but you guys up there suffer.

    I guess they changed the law in SC for car sales. When I lived in SC from 92 to 97, I don't remember dealers being open on Sundays. Wanna give us a hint about the punch?

    I think they must have one standard when making offers, and an entirely different standard when selling!!!

    Marco....it’s steamy here....mid to high 90º with 70%-80% humidity...supposedly it feels like 105º+. We have had excessive heat warnings for about a week.

    I took my dog to the local dog park yesterday. He usually likes running around for a ½ hour or so. Yesterday, he walked around for about 15 minutes and came back to my side and just sat. We came back home to the A/C.

    I bought a new grill on line and it was delivered yesterday (www.fuegoliving.com). Was going to put it together, but decided to wait for a little cool down.

    CBS Sunday Morning just had Cincinnati mentioned about the heat wave.....how animals at the Cincinnati Zoo are staying cool and the heat buckling some of our roads. They suggest to keep out of the heat (reciting the obvious)

    Stay cool.

    I saw a Passport in the wild on Friday. I had to do a double-take to make sure I saw the nameplate correctly. Otherwise, it is not all that memorable of a design.

    @GG same temperatures here, I think tomorrow supposed to cool down here little bit of rain too, but I think by the middle of the week and to be in the 80s again. Yes best to wait and put your barbecue together when there’s cooler weather, thanks for sharing the site we got your new grill from. Yeah the dogs really don’t like it probably more so more than us, my dog stays inside 99% of the time was all for not even five minutes and comes in when the weather is like this. And usually she just likes sitting outside in the sun for hours, Or at night just sitting on the deck in the back staring around and who knows what but she hasn’t done that all week. Due to it being too hot.

    We were going to go to the annual Vintage Grand Prix that's held downtown but we got an invite to spend the day poolside at my parents neighbors. The GP is great but I have a feeling the heat would have everyone wanting to leave within 20 minutes so swimming it is.

    Would love to keep cool but, of course, this is not a goos time to sit still. Spent the past 3 days clearing out parents’ basement and garage. Sweat my butt off in the basement, but that was a pleasant memory when in the garage yesterday. WOW! Had to be 130 in the loft. Couldn’t stay up there for more than a few mins at a time.

    Ordered a 30-yd dumpster thinking it would be more than enough. Turns out we filled it past the top, and that does not even include some of the bigger jobs I was looking to do. SIGH. I just hope they take it the way it is without a fuss.

    Beautiful car though.

    They’re asking $55k though which is a bit dear even on a semi in-demand new model.

    Took the car over to a USAA body shop and not only did they agree with what the BMW collision center said (other than having cheaper prices), they found additional damage I had missed. Estimate is now over $1100 because there is some paint involved.

    If you ever wanted to know how to damage $1100 worth of plastic, just tap a late model BMW...

    Hey, you lease hackers, any chance of scoring a deal on a GT3? Just had a guy get a quote of almost $3400/mo.

    MF is marked up .00100, and the dealer tacked on an extra $15k to the sticker.

    I'll admit that I've become immune to some of the lease deals I've seen. Lots of stuff above 4 figures per month, even on some domestic brands. $1500-2000 for some of the high end German brands.

    Saw one deal of an Audi R8 of $30k plus, on a one pay deal.

    The "deal" is to buy one. A 2016 is worth $120k now. A new 2019 is $145k.

    $3400/mo is $122k over 36 mos. That makes absolutely no sense on a $145k car. Was it one that was loaded up with a full other 911 worth of options?

    FWIW, I'd be willing to bet that the guy that wants that GT3 couldn't afford the payments on a Vega. I could be wrong about that but probably not. And next year he'll fall out of love with it and be even more upside down on his next love thing.
