like wth Kristen, how do you give us the answer to your riddle during the riddle

You need a comfort animal.

I just can’t. I’d rather spend money on a car than fancy clothes, electronics, or vacations. If you’re within budget — and you’re a car nut — a monthly payment on a car is a sensible way to spend your money. It sucks that some of it goes to financing costs .. but like .. it also sucks I have to pay a shipping company…

Note that Patrick posted a picture of the pre-facelift version.

DONT LOOK AT USED ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE PRICES YOU WILL LOSE $70k

They look horrible on the SUVs, but their sedans have grown into the design, IMHO.

Same story here. My first car ever was a Subaru Legacy GT. My two best friends had BMWs. I loved that car (still do .. though I’ve moved on), and still think it brought me more smiles than anything else I’ve owned — but my two brand-snob friends would always snicker and make jokes about how it was just a toy.

WE KNOW WHAT’S BEST

I’d double check with your dealer. I want a 340 with Track Handling Package — which no longer appears in the configurator — but my dealer was willing to place an order for one.

I can’t convince myself that it’s a better value than a CPO BMW 340...

was about to comment this - went from Paddington to central London and was charged 28GBP. Uber would have been 19GBP.

I moved away from Jersey and miss it every time I get in my car. Just drove back for Thanksgiving...

I agree — some sort of LED DRLs extending across the headlights would really help here. I know it’s a bit “me-too” now, but they’re almost requisite.

Something about those headlights .. they just feel .. cheap and Miata-ish?

You try getting small crossover buyers to plunk down $50k a pop for a *reservation* for a vehicle.

Singer keeps proving that cars can be tasteful - even somewhat understated -  when sprayed with interesting color schemes.

Don’t look - I’m certain that it’s wrong! I bought a CPO BMW a couple years ago and have been torn between a lease and another CPO. BMW reduced their coverage since my last purchase; and even back then, it was 2 years/100k limited after comprehensive new car warranty expiration (new car was 4 yrs / 50k, I think).

That BMW CPO information doesn’t look right at all .. 5 or 6 yr / unlimited mileage after new car warranty expires?

Rattles.

Oh my, that looks fun to parallel park!
