A Decade of The Hoop

Good choices.

We understand maintenance cost is more on Euro luxury sedans but we do a lot of highway travel tough to beat Euro sedans for comfort.

I buy aftermarket warranties on my used vehicles for 4 years. Peace of mind.

Never considered that. Who do you get those through and ballpark monthly cost if you don't mind.

I get Lubrico? $4K for 48 months, no deductible.

Not everything is covered of course but the big things are.

The wife and I are considering an Audi A8 upon retirement. I still prefer the Volvo S90 Inscription but she like the Audi

I drove a Ford F150 for work. Now that I am retired, I drive a Ford F150.

My sister in law had a Mazda Miata set up for autocross.
Having done a lot of favors for her, she offered to let me drive it while she was out of town for the week.
I declined. When asked why, I told her, I know me. Having raced professionally, I'm not capable of just cruising around.
Give me a fast car and I'll get myself into trouble.

Now unfortunately, my F150 has twin turbos. Gets great gas mileage until your foot get's heavy!

I never drove a Miata, but I did ride in the back seat a few times. It felt like a VW Beetle.

Except it was often used for autocross because it turned on a dime and stayer on it's wheels.

I have the same 3.5 Twin Turbo in my SHO.
I average about 20 mpg.
Not really. Closer to 19.

Mywife and I used to rent a Miata for the weekend from Enterprise Then getting fat put an end to fitting behind the wheel. We always got a convertible. Loved driving it. would never own one. I've lost 66 pounds and no longer desire to drive anything small. Love my Lincoln MKT. Seriously considering trading my Escape for a pickup. After I buy my zero turn lawn mower.

I have a 2021 Ranger for my work truck.
I am seriously considering buying one for personal use as well.
I really like this truck. It's in the not too big, not too small range, and the turbo 4 has all the power needed.
The 2023 Ranger is supposed to be just a touch bigger too, with a available V6.
I think that will be my choice, in a 4 door, 4WD.

When I got to my California job, I was assigned a ranger. I refused to drive it.
After 4 months of arguing with management, my very good boss went and took an f150 from an office guy that had put 5 miles on it in a year.
He was pissed, I was happy. Only problem was it was exactly like my personal truck and sometimes I would forget to switch trucks at end of the day.

2016 I know theywere smaller then but I got a Chevy Colorado in Barstow in 2019. Too small. Used my F150.

I came from ESPN board when they rolled out robustness and then threw away the board.

Haha so did I until he banned me LOLOL

I think he was the douche that banned me. All because he did not agree with my point of view and I would not let it go.

That's our hammer. If you ever bested him he would ban you. The list is long.
