2017 Cadillac ATS Performance Premium 3.6
I guess that’s a bike you don’t want to be caught peddling to the convenience store, huh?

Well, he damn sure ain’t gonna get a G90 no matter how much @abacomike raves about his.
jmonroe
I won’t be riding that bike at all….
She picked it out. We were riding up on the boardwalk today and people kept complimenting her on it.
Of course she said the Schwinn bike she has rides nicer, which is exactly what I told her! Ugh.

I think that’s right, if there is one. But I’m concerned that at some point the used car market will normalize so I’m balancing that with potential revamp of the federal tax credit.

If any of you guys ever come visit New York City, I highly recommend the 9/11 museum. To say it is powerful is an understatement.

I second this. It is a wonderful tribute. Did you do the walking tour as well?

@tjc78 - Tom, we did not. Maybe that’s something I can do with my wife when we go back sans the kiddos. The museum itself was beautiful. Very moving. It was amazing to see about the construction and planning of the twin towers too. When did you go?

Hey @au1994, when are they going to ship the doors or did you knock them off while off-roading?
jmonroe
We went Nov 2019. We also went before the museum was done and it was just the reflecting pools. I think that was in 2012.

I’d just wait till the @breld Tesla Y comes on the market. Should be any day now
The Freedom Tower is beautiful, but I’ll take the old view any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Tesla really does not discount demos very much anymore it seems.
Visited the Toyota dealer. Sad sight of a parking lot. Used to be rows of each car, now a few scattered around. And the salesguys even admitted most of them were sold but they left them out front to take up space.
Managed to see a couple of Tacos. Only had used available, but close enough. An off road and a normal model (both 2019s I think). 4 door, short bed. Plus sat in the salesguy's own car, a 2021 loaded model 6' bed. Only one with the power seat I would not buy without.
decided not to drive one. But started it up, and the wife got to try out for fit. Overall, definitely a truck. She did not like getting in and out of it (especially the off road). and was not that enthused by the interior. fired up the engine and it definitely made noise! Surprisingly large. Big hood. I don't think I would want one without BLIS either, and that is a rare option.
I will go drive one by myself at some point just to see how it drives, but most likely bigger and bulkier than what we need, and I know the wife doesn't want one to drive. Though she did say "it's your car, you have to like it" but it would be nice if she was comfortable riding in it too!
I explained how a Maverick (or Santa Cruz) would be much more of a CUV like her car with the hatch replaced by a bed. She would want that if she had to use it. a Ridgeline, that would not be a tough sell to her.
I do want to see the new Frontier too. Basically same size and design as a Taco, but I think it has a lot more modern and more comfortable interior. If those come out, I would like to drive one too. And a Ridgeline, just for kicks. Assuming I can find any of them to try.

I'm beginning to think that M2 Comp prices will not be dropping anytime in the foreseeable future- If you exclude black and white cars there are less than 80 listed for sale in the US; of those only 8 are manuals. I may follow my bride's advice and just bite the bullet and buy one that ticks all the boxes. If the prices even partially follow the trajectory of the 1 Series M Coupe I'll be golden.

I am in total agreement with you, Breld!
My last two car loans were arranged at dealerships:
2020 MB E450 financed at 0% for 36 months
2021 Genesis G90 financed at 1.9% for 60 months.
No bank or credit union came close on either loan.

My physical therapist has a new Maverick on order with an expected delivery date of December, January or February (his current lease expires in January) so he is not overly concerned about delivery dates at this point in time. Microprocessors are the bottleneck in production of new cars.
New car dealer lots are like ghost towns of the old west. Cannot remember a time like this in my lifetime with one exception - I ordered a 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Coupe with the 327 V8 and GM closed down all assembly lines due to UAW strike. Had to wait 4 months for my new car. It was very frustrating. But only GM was affected at the time.

My boss recently purchased a late model used Highlander Hybrid. I shudder to think what it must've cost.

On the car prices note, Retired service loaners now have asking prices equal to original MSRP
And a wagon - a year newer than mine, fewer miles of course, but dang that price, would be MSRP on one with quite a few options, crazy for a car heading for 2 years old
Had a hard time seeing if it was a sedan, wagon, or pickup. It's a lot more overgrown than this picture shows.

and if used car prices stay high, poor people are going to be doubly screwed.
I did see elsewhere (YAA youtube) that extended warranty sales are way up. Probably people that in the past would have gotten a new car before the warranty ran out, now planning to keep them a lot longer.

@kyfdx - I think it was you who inquired about the total cost of my AC job. The guy came back today and had to make a few adjustments and install 1 more supply duct & grille in our bathroom. Total cost was $20,352.72. I was able to purchase the Bosch Condenser & Air Handler through my business for $4,444.57. $15,908.15 was what I had to pay the guy for everything else.

How are the basement repairs coming?
I do not recall if that was better or worse than the other quotes??
So you’re saying they prettied it up for the listing pic then let it go to hell again! Typical real estate workings.

My sister really liked it, until she drove it. Of course, she was comparing it to luxury brands (Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus and Infiniti).

Nah, I think they’re calling it a weed whacking/finders fee.
jmonroe
Good thing for those brands that she could tell the difference.
The total came out to be slightly cheaper than when I priced it out last year. I know that it works and runs 100%. The guy who did the install is a Bosch service technician (he’s a guy that Bosch send to your house when you call them directly for repairs) so he’ll maintain and repair if necessary. It was a lot of money, but where I saved was by buying the condenser/air handler. Most places on their quote last year wanted $10K alone for those 2 items. It was a lot of labor to remove the old items and install new everything.

@corvette
The basement is dried out. We are going to start piecing it back together. Haven’t finalized any plans or gotten any quotes for flooring yet.
