I don’t think I can.

This is one of the options I was thinking of. Recent Mazda’s are more reliable than they’re given credit for. But the big thing that changed is that they don’t rust out anymore. The early Mazda3 I had was rusted enough at 50k that it never would have made 150k. The 3rd gen Mazda6 I had went through 8 Canadian…

You don’t need to upgrade to 200amp service.  You do need to know that your panel has capacity though.  I have a 100 amp service, but lots of capacity, and limit charging to 40amps.  It’ll all be inspected by the ESA before it’s allowed to go live, and they’re pretty particular about capacity.  If/when we add a second…

Only some have a heat pump.  It’s a really recent addition.

You don’t need a garage. My car stays outside all winter, charger is outside all winter. It’s fine.

I kinda love it. It’s a damn good thing that I don’t have the money or garage space for the cars that I kinda love from here. This e28 is pretty perfect to my eye, and is pretty much the ideal sedan.  Easy NP.

I wouldn’t buy an I-Pace either… but I sure as hell would rather put money down on something from Jaguar than Fiskar.  I don’t think anyone could guarantee they’ll last two years, let alone five.  

Can worst also be my best?

You win.

Setting aside the tow-yard stuff for a sec...

The biggest thing I pulled out of that:

There’s two sides to that:

I can’t think of a 90's Cadillac I’d want to own. A custom conversion where I don’t know what was done to strengthen the chassis after shearing it’s roof off? Not a chance. It could be free and I’d pass. ND.

It should be 0.

Seller would be better to donate this to a kidney research charity in exchange for a tax receipt.  Colt’s are crap.  I can’t even say “would make a fun EV conversion” because the only thing I would think would be “I spent how much on a Colt?”  Scrap it.  ND.

TIL the Lincoln Versailles existed.  Honestly never heard of it before.

Definitely. IMO Rogue One is a prequel....it’s what happens before A New Hope.  Though...I also like it a lot, so would have no issue if it’s a model for what they do.

I’ve got another couple weeks of writing the wrong year.  :)

In theory, it’s really easy! Pay a writer to write a new story. It doesn’t have to be connected to the TV show at all.

I love it.  If this was closer, I’d be apologizing to my wife this evening for another silly purchase. I haven’t seen one of these in decades, so enthusiastic NP for me.
