If I take this I'm thinking about this:

And a RAM :truk:
This makes a lot more sense than switching homes while you wait for your wife's medical benefits and retirement to accrue.
That's my thought. Trying to avoid getting into a less positive housing situation in case the market tanks.

:thankstrump: and it’s a wrap. 2019 was essentially just as good as 2018 for us sick with the :plac: disease

Edit: sorry I’m obviously recovering from celebrating

Makes sense. Your :gorf: has been solid too. No reason to :plac:

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
Yeah I have little to no reason to :plac: aside from cheaper commuting and possibly something bigger, but those excuses only hold so much substance.

How's your :gorf: been treating you lately? Any plans for it moving forward?
I'm surprisingly content. Had the haldex and brakes done a little bit ago and a $3 trip to the hardware store for vinyl tubing fixed all my creaking issues.

I'll see how it is reliability wise for the next 2 years then reevaluate :plac: status.

They are not bad cars, hopefully they stay that way for us.

I'm contemplating new tires on the prets or selling them for $1100 and getting a new setup. I cant believe how low I let the treads get when they came off last fall. :yikes:

Nice White Egg mang!

My son has a green one on his lot for a song ($21,999 w/208 farts) , that price and color really gives me the urge to :plac: but it looks like they knocked back the warranty to one year for some reason....No bueno

That is such a great color! You should grab it. CPO warranty for 18/19s are only an additional year because the factory warranty is already 6 year/72k mile warranty. The one linked should theoretically be under warranty until summer of 2026.
Confirmed the remainder of the 7 year/72000 mile warranty is still valid plus one year.

Turns out it had some "shutting off" issues and the original buyer's confidence was so shaken that he bailed. The car has been driven another 1500 miles or so by the managers there, but my son is seriously contemplating buying it.

I don't get it... The car is advertised with 204 miles? What 1500 miles?

You have the contis right? I think my pirellis were at about 4/32 when I took them off with about 21k miles and a few autocrosses.

Selling them for a set of some forged 18" would be sweet but the prets are so nice. I don't think I could do it.

There's supposedly a fix for that issue now, but tons of 2019 manuals were bought back.

That's quite a warranty. Your son (or you) should definitely get it if the stalling issue has been resolved.

I use mine summers only, so about half the car's life and I'm at 50k, so slightly more usage then yours and no track days. The counties were good to the end though l and I'd get another set.

Yeah, the driver's sideview mirror cracked for some reason. I just got in the car one day and saw a sweet split in the glass.
