When I met my wife she owned an R18i; it was fun to drive but always had an issue. The last straw was when the automatic began downshifting on its own when driving down the interstate. She still watches F1 just so she can root against the Alpines.
Hey, leave Fernando out of this.

Took the house buying story to the C&C thread. Figured not appropriate here.

My son will definitely be joining this discussion soon; he texted me about the 7k mile X5 4.8is on BaT with the comment “ I won’t buy a second car yet but I do love it 🤣”
In 2001 I covered the introduction of the X5 4.6is and was able to drive one home and keep it for a couple of weeks. My son was distraught when I had to return it; offering to give up his allowance to help me buy it.

There are usually a few US cars featured in each issue of the British magazine _Thoroughbred and Classic Cars _that I subscribe to.

'The People' everywhere love American lux/muscle cars. The government most likely, not so much.

I'm in my 40s and at the point of whether I should try to save save save just to buy a larger house or actually spend some money and buy some newer fun cars. I guess it's my mid life crisis lol.
If we don't buy a house I'm thinking of getting a second newer car to join our Audi A7 which I love. New Bronco is high on my list but they're sold out until next year.
Since I checked in last time in December 2018 I went through a few cars:
2014 Mercedes B250 was replaced by our 2016 Audi A7 which we still have.
My work commuters I went through in the last 2 years:
2007 Mazda 3
2004 Infinti G35 coupe
2007 BMW X5 for winter
2011 Mercedes C300 4Matic
2007 Lexus IS300
2009 Audi A4 Avant for winter
2008 Mercedes C300
2006 Honda Civic coupe that I have now.

Because in most cases, cars were flipped in value and banks had to deal with that. They were happy to let them go and get it off their books. I suspect we will get back to that at some point.
Could be wrong.
I’ll take a WAG at $7k-$8k.

That coupe made me remember to go back and take a look at the diesel. I’m shocked it stayed close to my reasonable number.

While the tax burden is big, lots of folks still get business benefits from it.
And, in some cases, there are tax credits that takes the rate down to 1.25%.

"A few Ford customers are expressing concerns about the quality control of the new Bronco after noticing the molded hardtop seemed to be coming apart prematurely. The issue impacts an unknown number of early vehicles, with only a handful of owners suggesting they’ve noticed anything. However, those that are sounding alarm bells noted that the vehicle seemed put together when they purchased it, with the defects manifesting after a few weeks of regular use.
Problems include the headliner separating from the roof panels and some discoloration at the seams. But the signature defect appears to be scales appearing on the hardtop’s exterior. While smooth to the touch, members of the Bronco6G forum reported that their roofs had developed patterning that resembled snakeskin in some areas — attributing the phenomenon to the outer laminate layer being cast too thin."

Apparently Ford of Australia has some unhappy Mach 1 customers; their cars were delivered without some equipment that Ford advertised as standard.
BMW originally advertised that the E36/5 had vented front rotors, but they were solid. Fortunately the solid rotors could cope with a 2,800 pound car with only 150 hp- especially one that only topped out at 130 mph.

Going back to the dentist in the morning and hoping this time, the cement will hold the temporary in place. Annoying right now. Also heard from the lawyer, case goes to trial on 9/3, so we'll see how it turns out. Dumb mistake on my part of course, so lets see how helpful this lawyer will be.
