That’s a bargain compared to what you’ll pay for a dog to watch a sporting event here in the Burgh:
$7.50 at PNC Park to watch the hapless Pirates trying to play Major League Baseball.
$6.09 at Acrisure Stadium (formerly Heinz Field) to watch the struggling Steelers play football.

Don’t do that! How do we live vicariously?
You could never give an accurate annual recap of vehicle purchases. We need an hourly play by play 🤣😂
Curious why you would sell the Rivian. It seems like money in the bank with MSRP going up. But I guess it could depreciate wildly if they go belly up, better battery technology/ range, etc.

Yeah, that’s exactly why I sold it quickly…bird in hand and all that. I figure as more Rivians become available and the next EV thing comes out, the premium folks will pay will just flatten. It’s already done that since they were first released. As it stands, the MSRP went up by $15k, I was able to sell it for $25k more than original MSRP, so win-win. Someone got one early for a $10k premium, and if I choose to turn around and get another Rivian (SUV), at least I still am $10k better.

The Audi RS6 Avant is one cool wagon! Besides the performance, beautifully crafted interior, and gorgeous exterior styling, you get the satisfaction of knowing you purchased a unique automobile that won’t get lost in a sea of X5 ///M BMWs that are just so common these days.

This year Homearama was held at Norton Commons- showcasing big houses on zero clearance lots. Ugh. There were ten houses, and only one had a four car garage. Another had the only decent HTS out of the 10- a 7.1 configuration with a 4k projector. Most all of the others had only a small soundbar and an equally undersized subwoofer- and I can only imagine what those "professional installations" cost. Meh.
On the way home we ran through a fairly significant downpour(I was of course cheating almost certain death by driving my RWD M235i). Granted, 60 mph was about the maximum safe speed but of course several appliance drivers chose to stay in the left lane driving 45 mph-or below-with their emergency flashers activated. My wife was even more exasperated by it than I was. Unbelievable.

Good start to a children's book here.
The Macan Turbo is indeed of interest to me. I got to test drive a black one nearby. The 3.6 does fit the Macan way better than a measly
3.0or 2.9. It has more power more of the time. The torque starts from zero as the 3.6 can propel the SUV no matter the boost (or lack of boost). The top end flattens out over 5K on the way to 7K redline, but it's still good. You don't really feel the 400 HP until you look down and your going 110 MPH on your test drive (in Mexico for the record). The Macan hides your speed really well.... something the TTS is good for I suppose; less tickets; you feel like your flying at 100 in the TTS. The Macan just felt like it was loafing about and dawdling; even at triple digits.This model does what you want in a speedy bigger/heavier vehicle; which is to have an engine that "hides" the weight well. While the new 2.9 has a zesty and fiery top end, it struggles to motivate 4,450 pounds otherwise.
CAUTION: There is a sticker that says M&S top speed 150 MPH. This is your warning that you have SUV tires.
But do you like green eggs and ham?
I do not like them, Sam (or @andres3) I am.
Despite some heartening news in terms of wholesale valuations, Black Book (another Cox property) still expects used cars to be valued 30 to 40 percent above their pre-COVID levels for the next 12 to 24 months. That’s great news if you’re planning on selling and a nightmare if you’re looking to buy.
"We are in this elevated price environment for the foreseeable future," Yurchenko said. "The main reason is inventory. We're not going to have the same level of used inventory coming back to the market in the next several years."

You misspelled “Stepford.” Also, I thought that subdivision had been completely built out by now.
I wonder how many people living on the street got the joke?

$32,130 new depending on what accessories it came with from the port.
Actually, almost all of my test drives lately have been solo. Either it's a COVID betterment leftover, or they just trust a guy that leaves an Audi in the parking lot while on his test drive. BMW came along for the ride in the OG M2, and Honda with the used 240i. Hyundai, and other dealerships have been letting me "have at it" including CarMax.
Jag/LR dealer let us go alone with the X1 and Corsair.
Volvo dealer accompanied us on the XC60 test drive.
Lexus dealer accompanied us on the XC40 test drive (the one she ultimately bought).

This particular line caught my eye.
I have been wondering about this exact thing. Do the car manufacturers really want to increase production, or do the present circumstances suit them? It has become increasingly obvious to everyone that the new car dealerships love things exactly the way they are. But I kept assuming that the manufacturers would do everything in their power to increase production. But after all this time, I'm really beginning to wonder about that.

Good point.
I suspect there were some bean counters at HQ advocating just this, but nobody wanted to be the first company to slash output to raise per unit profits.
The pandemic and the resulting supply chain issues forced everyone to do exactly that, at the same time.
We may never return to what we considered "normal".

I fear the same thing as well. A recession and the accompanying recovery would probably fix that. Not that I am hoping or advocating for a recession.

Too bad we’re keeping most of them until 60k miles these days. Still, it might cause some downward pressure on prices.

well, it can only last (at least for mainstream brands) until the first company decides to go for market share. Some company like Hyundai could crank out product and steal all the sales from the companies that are trying to do everything via orders and no stock units on the lot.

Next thing you know, you're going to actually keep the vehicle you acquire. It's as if the thing is supposed to be useful and take you places. . . for more than six months.
In some ways it is like buying a house recently. yeah, the new place costs more, but your trade is also worst more so it should be a wash.
like a wise man once said, the only difference, is the difference.

Depending on what you have and what you want to buy, it might actually be a good time to buy! All about the delta.
Not a good time to add a car, I’ll admit.
When I shop the local lots, there’s still not a lot of new inventory. It gets difficult to keep up with since most of the dealers count in transit inventory as on the lot. And I would guess most of those are sold.
We’d like to replace the X1 but are not going to do something crazy. It fits the bill fine and is only sitting at 50k miles but my wife would just like to have fresh and new. I know we all understand that!

I’m not changing any time soon. Wife wanted no part or replacing her car and that was more of. Space thing. I’ll reorganize the garage this weekend and see if I can fit both.
My car only if I traded out for a hybrid and that depends on whether I can trade the old one in for top dollar.

The Audi made it slightly over three weeks in my care before having an electrical gremlin. The MMI is stuck on this screen and I have no backup cam or infotainment. I’m going to restart it in a bit and check for codes with the BlueDriver.

Happened the other day, but rebooted itself as I was driving away, perhaps it was getting an OTA update when I started the car.
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
My reading of the Audi boards was that, other than the five regional nav maps, there are no OTA updates on that model, but I may have misunderstood or gotten incorrect info. I think people said that the dealers could update firmware under warranty but only if it was to fix a specific issue which had been diagnosed and documented--it wasn't something that happened automatically when the car goes to the dealer, nor if the customer generically requested that they update the firmware.
