Did you know that there are various benchmarks?
Benchmarks for US sales--LS
Benchmarks for excellence--S Class
Unfortunately the benchmark for sales becomes quite different beyond US borders where people cant fathom loving Buick-like rides.
All those in favor of breaking that circle and moving on to something else right here, say aye!! I'll go first:
AYE
Not all responses are valid rebuttals.
There's something about Lexus that differentiates it from Buick (understatement of the day), and I would not be surprised to see the rest of the world catching on at some point.
Do you want me to respond again?
I honestly dont know what you are talking about :confuse:
You did not respond
I did respond to your posts about the residuals.
I have made my points clear not only once but many times You have repeated your points many times over.
Trying to win a debate by having the last word just for the sake of having the last word is kind of senseless. Dont you think?
I think this debate scared off everyone in this forum. Except the resilient ones like Howard and our host Pat.
How 'bout giving me the last word and just changing the subject.
Daggoned Mets!! This was their year and they blew it!!
(I'm sure many of them drive HELMs...)
Thanks, Pat . . . we can be glad you stepped in on this one . . . at least AYE know AYE am.

Younger Drivers Considering Diesel-Powered Cars?
I guarantee that it won't be all that long before I get one.

Yeah, dating myself big time here.
Just yesterday I had to delve deep into the bowels of the said controller.
I found what I thought was a perfect parking lot spot next to a concrete divider. So I slashed my right front expensive Continental to smithereens against said divider. This prompted all sorts of bells, whistles and a huge exclamation point flashing across my Aye Drive screen. After purchasing a replacement tire, the darn reminders didn't automatically reset. I had to hunt through multimenus using the Aye Drive until I finally found "reset tire pressure."
Now everything is fine.
Aye can't believe I did it but indeed Aye did!
U OK?
'69 WS was amazin', as they said. Aye liked 'em in '69 2.
But no more.
Powders is right. Overkill here. Aye'm done 2 . . . Aye promise.

And then I (age-wise only) grew up, graduated college, fell in love on the ski slopes, married the ski-bunny, moved to Boston and was swept up by the formerly forever a bridesmaid Boston Red Sox. Thirteen years later, the Sox pulled an Amazin'! Of course back in '86 I still bled blue and orange... And someday I hope to drive a HELM, as I'm sure Dr. Gary Gentry does!
End of stream of consciousness...?
'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...)
The Mets put up a valiant struggle but they never really had much of a chance aganist the greatest team in baseball. It's all that tradition.

I guess that makes me a financial dunce.
Maybe I shouldn't have pursued a career in finance?
Or maybe I shouldn't have earned an accounting and CFA designation?
Oh well at least my clients are happy and much richer. :shades:
Nobody could possibly be happy with only one BMW vehicle!
How is one to live?
Good point! I am still trying to justify all the time I spent here. At least nobody else knows but me(at least in the real world and not in this virtual forum world of ours) :surprise:
Daggoned Mets!! This was their year and they blew it!!
(I'm sure many of them drive HELMs...)
Especially the ones with inflated residuals
Nobody could possibly be happy with only one BMW vehicle!
That's OK. It's as easy to forgive a fellow Bangle fan as it is to forgive a Mets fan today.
Looks like the shameful $189 lease on the Z4 will be thankfully, just a nightmare we can all just soon forget.
edit: comes to think of it, didn't websites like carsdirect back then lose money on every car the customers ordered through them? All because some financial analyst decreed that hence forth stock price should be multiples of revenue instead of multiples of profit.
Anyways folks I will be departing this site for at least a few months(spending too much time here) and definitely will be coming back sometime in the future.
I love cars and I love this site and enjoy talking to all of you. But unfortunately I tend to lose track of time- management here and I am better off focusing my attention to the real world.
Take Care

I no longer have an accounting practice since now I am a portfolio manager where a CFA is not only relevant but required.
CFA's are just jokers locked inside big building windowless offices writing up whatever the trading desks tell them to write up.
I have my own business and only take orders from clients. And I have a very a big window with a walk-out balcony at my office. I get a lot of 1929 Crash jokes about the balcony.
Take Care and looking forward to the pleasure of talking to you about inflated residuals sometime in the future.
Instead of quitting, I've started cutting back. I intend to cut back even more.
In other words, put a "quantitative" limit on the "inflated" amount of interaction with brightness . . . it will leave one with less "residual" damage from his distortions. Or alternatively, ignore him completely.
Hope to see you now and then, my friend

Aye new thur wus sumpin' aye liek'd about jou!
Randolph had no faith in Wagner, and that's why heilman wus thur. :sick:
If we had Perdo and El Duque, it'd be much different, but even so, we had a chance.
The upside is the Mets will be good for a while, with Wright, Reyes, Chaves, Maine, and Beltran, this 7 train will keep rollin'!
DrFill
And the US definitely noticed.
Attendance was definitely down at work today.

It was too early for Wagner and Heilman was on fire until that one HR pitch. There was no reason to replace him. Don't blame Willie or the Met pitching. The hitters choked. And there should be a senate investigation on the easy curve ball that Beltran stared at to end the game. Eh, water under the proverbial bridge, they had their chances. Oooh that catch by Chavez was legendary. Too bad. :sick:
