Oh you meant the model lineup.

I’m 99% the Model Y is the way we’ll go. Just makes the most sense out of all the EV choices, assuming that’s what we want.
Just still holding out to see if there’s any more certainty regarding the revised tax credit, but at some point we’ll just pull the trigger. Our order for it is just sitting out there open - in fact, we got in on the pricing before the recent $1,000 increase (I assume you did as well?). So I think that price gets honored even though we haven’t taken delivery yet.
It’s only been a couple days since the Supra left, but I’ve already been driving the Leaf tons more and it only increases my desire for a nice EV (nothing against the Leaf, mind you...but it is what it is).

A long-range (326 mile range) AWD Model Y is right around $50k. A bit more depending on color and wheel choices.
The wait time at this point is perhaps 2-3 weeks, but could be shorter depending on the options you select. When I placed our order a few weeks ago, they had one available right away, but we declined as we wanted to delay delivery.

I might have driven out there this afternoon to see it in person, and, it looks decent enough. New tires, but off-brand ones. Both the front and rear emblems are toast--it's obviously spent a lot of time in the sun. Also, the tacky rear light covers are installed with screws. I know I would have the same issues with the seating position I had with the Mustang, which would relegate it to shorter trips only, so I think it's a no go for me.

What have you driven that's fast/handles better?
I agree with your assessment about it spending "time in the sun." Sun or no, it has not had an easy life. It looks like a car with twice the reported miles. I'm sure it was pleasant enough to gaze upon (and maybe even drive) at some point, but it's on the far end of those days now. The pricing seems like lunar territory to me given what the buyer gets in return.

As for the timing, well, there are 3 different bills now in the Senate and House for EV support, two of them are retroactive, one isn't. None have even been discussed in committee. I still think there will be cost restrictions in the end. But in any case, the trade value for our 3 was strong now, and I figured the longer we waited for news on an incentive, the riskier it got. If the car loses $3K in a few months, that's a good chunk of this incentive that may not happen anyhow. Plus CCBA membership, so we ordered it.

My 1984 C4 had 129k mikes on it when I inherited it from my son. I just started it’s slide into a money pit so at 136k I sold it.
I think watch JRgo just picked up a 2000 C5 Vette.
As I was pulling out of my driveway today a bright red C8 drove by. Spring is here.

@tifighter You're partly correct, I recently moved and lost my spare parking space. While I could find another one, since I got the Model3 in September I've realized I just don't drive the C30 much anymore. When I had the Tacoma it was the perfect compliment to the truck and each morning I could decide what I wanted to drive. Since September 30 I've put almost 7,500 miles on the Model3 and maybe 800 miles on the C30, I find myself always getting in the Tesla even with the C30 sitting right next to it. The C30 is no longer the "fun" car and once you get used to an EV it's hard to enjoy the ICE vehicle, no matter how great it is.
With that said, I'll miss it. @Breld and I have often commented on how this is a car you just won't find again. The specs, the condition, etc., were truly one of a kind. But it really should be driven more, so we'll see how the auction goes.
Don't knock until you've tried it.

It appears Elliot Alvis fixed the mechanical issues with his Malibu by installing a fresh tank of fuel, so luck sometimes plays a role.
On my short journey today, I fired up the A/C in the Tundra for the first time in months, and the compressor made very unhappy noises, but worked. I've never had that happen before on any vehicle.

I'm watching Line of Duty on Amazon Prime. It's a British drama series about a fictional (I think) anticorruption unit in the British police force. It's weird to see officers being assigned Jaguars, Volvos, etc... In 2007, I saw the Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court driving a Crown Vic, which I assume was issued by the state.
Having the NA V8 instead of the TT V12 should make it a walk in the park. Maybe send it to the Car Wizard instead. they should be able to sort it out in no time!

I have heard that the driver on the ECU can sometimes go bad and result in signal failure to the coils, but I would think that to be very unlikely, and I have no idea if this is a "thing" on MB of that era. I remember watching a vid from cardoc a long time back where he was using an oscilloscope (sp?) to check for misfires.

I keep thinking it is a vacuum thing. But the codes are so weird. One of them claims the O2 sensor signals are swapped. I never touched the O2 sensors nor, to the best of my knowledge, touched any wiring related to them.
I posted all the details on MBworld, but so far no useful reply.

crapJunkPrized possessions to our son and elsewhere, while making an attempt to get the place eventually ready to sell, it seems really useful. Plus I need to get a new gas grill, which seems like enough justification to me!The brief time I owned the Nissan in 1990, it was very useful. I bought it right as we were buying our first real house. Got lots of bulky and dirty stuff with that.
Too bad used ones are absurdly overpriced. A nice used one would be perfectly fine, if cheap leases aren’t happening.

If you could stomach a full sized you could drive it for 2 years and probably lose very little. Heck a friend is getting quotes on his 2019 2wd Ranger Sport thats putting 1800-2000 in his pocket.

I'm not sure we used it all that much as a truck.

Thinking of that, my brother's old S10 is getting to the point where he wants to cut it loose and get something else. Of course, he's eyeing a Tacoma - not a new one, he's already remarking about the insane used prices.
If we didn’t already have a nice family travel car, I’d try to push the wife into a Ridgeline!
