V8 or V10?
I love their gated manual transmission - looks so cool. Congrats on the R8. My buddy just got an RSQ8 … the front brake rotors are as big as trash can lids. It’s quite the ride.

Maybe a Suburban isn’t necessary for your life situation. I drove Suburbans for years to haul my kid’s buddies and our scout troop to camps to northern Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming, Glacier NP Montana, and the Blackhills. That usually involved pulling a 3000 lb trailer. Now I use my Expedition to move family and haul large loads of stuff.
I like jacked up trucks, thick slabs of red meat, and large caliber hand guns. I don't really GAF what you like.
I have heard the Ford Maverick described as a truck for women, homos, and trans.
What kind of deal did you get though?
I like getting 400 miles in my quiet luxury car and then going to the gas station and only having to pay for 10 gallons of gas to fill it up, thick slabs of red meat and the sports of Football, Basketball and Baseball. I also like playing golf, drinking scotch, playing poker and getting outdoors. I hope that doesn't make me too big of a wuss

A quiet cabin and plenty of giddyup are pretty desirable as we get older
Here in the Northwest if I see Subaru and it has an Oregon license plate; I double down on passing that car as quickly as I can. That is a bad combo.
From the edge of town to our ski hill, it is 12 miles. The first 8 miles the road is relatively straight with a gradual 1200 feet elevation gain. The speed limit is either 40 mph or 50 mph. The last 4 miles has several hairpin turns and switch backs with an elevation gain of about 2600 feet. The speed limit is 35 mph. The base of the hill has an elevation of 4600 feet. There is a mile passing lane right before the last 4 miles of turns and curves. There is only one good stretch to pass a car on the last 4 miles of the road. An eighty-four-year-old Swiss born and raised man named Pierre, who spent most of adult his life in Vail (he has great stories about the old, old days of Vail), drives his BMW pretty fast up the hill is my main competition for the fastest driver. We both agree you have to get around Subaru drivers as fast as you can as they tend to be older, slower drivers who believe they are saving the environment by driving slower than everyone else. When people ask where I learned to drive so fast my quick answer "NEBRASKA!!!".
I'm in the northwest as well.
Driver doing the 10/2, 10 mph under, Coexist sticker next to 23 other bumper stickers. Saving the planet one sticker at a time.
nah, I'm prob going full homo.. still looking at ev's,
EVs are interesting. Supposedly people dont want them used. Hopefully Dewalt comes out with a plug and play aftermarket option to replace used batteries. Would also consider Milwaukee. Not Ryobi though.
the word is, there are a lot of Tesla model Y's coming off lease in the 2nd and 4th quarters creating a nice price point especially in the 4th quarter, if you wanted to pickup a city car for south florida that plugs into your dryer outlet in your garage, that will then drive you, err me and a drumset in the back to some dive bar in north miami and back home late at night, with me only having to supervise.. well, this is the idea anyway
