I did not even know we had that! There was a young lynx that was quite interested in munching on our chicks. He hung around the property all summer long and into the early parts of winter. I stopped seeing tracks around November.
Looking forward to your real world experience with it.

This happened Friday. No problem. My wife pulled into a shopping center & called AAA. They came promptly and put the doughnut on for her. She’s been relegated to local driving with the Pilot since then. I ordered a new tire from Tire Rack that I will have mounted & balanced when it gets here today.

The Cadillac dealer in my old group just took in a 2021 M2 Competition with less than 3,000 miles on it. My dealer actually sold it in January. Looks to be a case of wearer’s remorse. Long Beach Blue is not my favorite color and I’d prefer three pedals, but I could live with it. I need to see if it has the Executive Package and doesn’t have a sunroof.
This is the dealer with the addled UCM who would inevitably bark out “How come you didn’t buy it here?” when someone from my store would bring a Cadillac to him to be appraised, so I’m not particularly hopeful about dealing with them.

I just saw a lengthy YouTube video posted by a pro detailer. He tested a whole bucket full of synthetic and ceramic waxes. Some weren’t worth the bottle they came in. But, he was amazed that Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic Wax did so well, and was his winner of the “shoot out”. It was cheap, too.
The fact that the dealer paid too much takes it off the table, unfortunately.

Would you post the link to the review. Sounds interesting.

Or a sports car though neither one of us was a fan of having to crawl in/out of the low slung sporty S4, and that is still a lot better than most sports cars! I think if I was getting something like that, I would lean more toward an SQ3 or SQ5. Still fast/noisy/fun, but lots more comfortable and higher. Plus hopefully more tire sidewall, because man, some of the roads (especially in NY) are just horrid.
worst on my trip was a stretch of I684 approaching I287. Entire lane looked (and felt) like it had been used for artillery practice. I don't know if the S4 with 35 series tires would have survived it! going up there, the big truck meats are comforting.

Did UHaul have a different rate after a certain number of miles which lower the cost of high mileage use? They did when I used one to move Imid Jr in and out of apartments at Ohio State. Last short trip I used UHaul for was $19 da and 99 cents per mile!

Of course, I pointed out that the feed and care could be a PITA. She said, "could it be worse than the Mercedes sitting idle in my garage?" Touche.

@sda - yes I am considering an Explorer XLT as a replacement. Maybe I’ll reach out to the dealer that seems to have an incoming unit that meets my specs tomorrow.

She extended the lease for a while because she couldn't find a new one she liked, but eventually couldn't extend it any more.
The dealer had her buy it, bought it from her and gave her some cash.
Those have definitely not depreciated enough.

The suppressed optimist in me recognizes that you could actually drive it to the shop.

When I looked on Turtle Wax's website I found lots of products with ceramic in the name, so I was curious which was a really good product.

Interesting that now I've seen the video, the Mothers, Brazilian wax I last used along with a Mothers spray detailer actually do pretty well until the video person starts abusing the finishes.
In re the Mothers Brazilian, there are two steps in the Mothers line that are to be used ahead of that product which might make it even more resiliant. I think it's part of a 3-step process. i went through that 3-step stuff ONCE and was done with all that work. Too much work.

In regards to your lease quote, that is a lot of miles (19,500 per year), and a short term (24 months). I believe the more common scenario is 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, which should be less. But probably still way too d___ high.
For a real shine I use Meguires Ultimate Fast Finish after a wash. Seems to shine the best.
I’ve come to the conclusion that ease of application is worth more than an extra little bit of shine.

So in the ballpark!
That will pay for a lot of oil changes on the Pilot!
