Jenny seems to hate everything I like about the fit. I was reving out up a hill and she’s freaking out over going too fast. We were doing 25 in a 30. She thinks small bumps feel like speed bumps in the car even though I think it’s just that it’s loud.

She’s asking me “are you enjoying this?” The answer is always yes. I really do love the car.

@Dylan jenny thinks the miata is a luxury car compared to the fit. She falls asleep
In the miata. Miata suspention with the bilstiens is a really good mix of comfort and weekend racer. I think I have another 10-15 clicks out of 30 that I can soften it up.

Throttle house says the new ND3 is barely different than the ND2. It seems like the best new update is when you turn off lane departure warning it also defeats the orange light in the dash making it the greatest car ever made without a V12.

@Dylan now everytime you see it you will be reminded that you no longer drive the greatest car ever made. You drive the second best version of the greatest car ever made. Welcome to my ND1 world.

@Dylan That's how I feel. When the ND2 came out it was a little painful. I could probably get a new one, and the trim you have that's a combination of GT and club, but I've had so many memories with this car. I installed a bunch of aftermarket stuff and the car feels perfect now. I've never had a car longer than 3 years but I've i'm now having my seventh miata season. I can't quit this car.

Saw my first out in the wild. Have to say the picture doesn’t do it justice.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED. A fun affordable EV that qualifies for the $7,500 rebate. The base single motor RWD trim could be the one to get.

@wheeljack look, they can only afford to make it if they can sell a lot of cars. This will probably share a platform with the upcoming EV Cadillac “Touring Sedans”. If they do a coupe like sedan and it sells volume they can make a coupe body style. Maybe dodge can split the difference between an EV muscle car and an EV SUV and sell an EV Magnum.

I have a rule. If there is a automotive youtube video where they compare two cars I will always pick the car that makes the reviewer laugh and giggle more

Wow! EQS depreciation is unreal. More than 50% depreciation in 11k miles. Bone stock these are $104k.

Mark,

This is key. The EQS is over 6,000 pounds and qualifies for a 179 business deduction while the s class does not.
It could be a smart money move max valuing the business tax credit for the purchase price for a business vehicle and then getting have super low energy and maintenance costs (compared to an S class).
This also means there may be a steady stream of these used from execs buying these as corporate vehicles to avoid taxes.

I'm not sure if this will get picked up by the pics bot but this is a very post on Reddit r/lotus with a two car garage with the same engine.

Jayden and I took an introductory dance class today. We learned the basics of several different steps and it was tough! I don’t have two left feet, but I have a lot to learn. It’s looking like we’re going to buy a handful of classes.

@Dylan partners dancing is great. My grandfather was a legendary dancer. When I meet my grandparents living friends they talk about what a great dancer he was. If you’re a man who can do partners dancing you can meet a lot of women for the rest of your life.
There’s still clubs in Manhattan where they play big band music and have dancing. I was at a show and Mel brooks was in attendance and they played a dancy version of springtime for hitler.

People think political betting is about predicting the future, that’s some of it, but a lot of it is dumb shit like this. A complicated series of bets that allows you to nearly double your money on a 3-4 month position on something that’s pretty close to a sure thing.

They really like the new EV macan. https://youtu.be/aG6EZr6uP00

It sounds like they were paid four million dollars to praise this thing. He says the comfort mode with air ride is incredibly luxurious and in sport mode it feels like a super car. “It’s that special… It’s really that transformative”

It sounds like the does everything car now does everything better.

Mark,
@Mark@weird.autos avatar

@John @Basmitharts the macan was the do everything car. An SUV that handles like a rally car. What’s cool about the update is the dynamic suspension with air ride that gives the drive modes real differences.
Audi is also making an EV A4 Avant on this new architecture. So there may be more options that aren’t so focused on performance.

Mark,
@Mark@weird.autos avatar

@Basmitharts @John even if the macan EV is quicker throwing the Yaris around a turn is way more fun than doing it with a 4,000 pound light truck.

I found an old picture of my recumbent cargo bike loaded up with at least 60 pairs of shoes. If you stacked each sneaker box on top of each other that I delivered from staten island to Manhattan it would be about as high as the Empire State Building. I later donated this bike to OWS and then it ended up at times up. For years people would tell me where they saw my old bike.

Meet the author in our town’s downtown. We walked downtown. Had some cocktails and are about to enjoy David Sedaris for our anniversary.

@Dylan thank you but I have to work all day and my rig broke.

I’m so fucking pissed and here to vent and ask for advice. I just got my third major bubble on my vredesteins. Besides constant bubbles from potholes the tires are great.
I need to either replace all of them with michilin cross climates or I can downsize the wheels. Only problem is tire options suck downsized. Best option is DWS 06 which are great tires but not great in the snow which is the point of the AWD car.

Mark,
@Mark@weird.autos avatar

@Basmitharts @Dylan just did a winter on DWS06
