Buyer lined up for the BMW today at noon - guy wanted the car so bad he sold his E46 325Xi Touring to buy mine .
12k miles in 1 1/2 years .. few faults along the way but what do you expect, it's a 17 year old German car used as a daily
It'll be missed.

Yeah, I'd miss it too. Gorgeous looking wagon...
But, you did upgrade to an A7.

Some updates .. good and meh.
The good:
- BMW is gone.
- Got some pictures of the A7 - car is well optioned and in decent shape .. you can see the damage on the driver side rear quarter panel. I'm confident I can make it look pretty damn good with a polish / DIY PDR.
- Secured the deal. They were asking their son if he was interested and said no thank you .. he'll stick with his Honda Pilot
The meh:
- Car probably won't be available till April / June timeframe .. the car they ordered was awaiting shipment, however, they got the options wrong and it added some lengthy time on their delivery date.
Not horrible news but, I can wait ...

What car did they order?
Car looks awesome! Should make for an excellent daily.

Looks like the new Sonata to me. Just has those weird Hyundai rings on it. Must be some weird KDM rebadge.

Didn't you have an S2k as your only car at one point? Or am I thinking of another Tyler?
Eh, 2 cars left over and TT ain't no beech. I'm sure you'll be fine. Are you even commuting these days?

Rims are in good shape I take? I think plowing the wheels into curbs is just a Yumcha thing, right?

Just a Canadian option. US-spec Owdis have curb avoidance as standard equip.

I will attempt to give it the proper Jeremy treatment - first thing I want to do is correct / ceramic coat / buy a car cover - I would feel bad letting a car like this sit in 105 degree summers .
Oh, and pressure wash the wheels!
When the MDX isn't here and I need to make a trip to the store / anything that has to do with a car seat, yup .. S4 time.
Aside from it's god awful mpg and grabby 6 puck clutch, it's actually a great daily .
Seats are super comfortable and I did a 300 mile road trip a few weeks ago ... car is solid.
Thankfully, I barely commute if at all. I'm sure it will change once more people are vaccinated & the idea of going back into the office 1-2 times a week becomes a thing.
We'll see

Wait is until April to get a Toyota? Don't they just have a bazillion of them at the local dealership?
I'd just daily the S2k. Fuck it, full send.

Must be a Rav4 Hybrid or Prime, think those are still in short supply.

S2000 has been seeing more of the short trips / errand runs, but .. anything with a highway and where I can actually get oil temps up .. yeah, S4 > *.
Speaking of which - I took the baby to C&C on Saturday and as I was leaving, there was a MK4 Supra with a fat front mount egging me on to run ... Took every ounce of self control not to lay the hammer down and play .
Damn babies & being somewhat responsible!

If it all works out, I'll take delivery of the A7 on 3/20.
Already purchased a plethora of detailing supplies .. may break down and buy an actual orbital buffer / some pads to give this thing a full correction.
Will update when I take delivery .. super excited. The B5 is a decent daily but god DAMN is it thirsty.

The acceleration sucks balls but you've never had that much fun going 0.5mph through the woods lol.

I got the Porter Cable last summer (maybe? Maybe it was 2 years ago; I have no sense of time anymore) because I'm a poor. But it was a game changer.

I have the PC right now, just curious what makes the Adams (or other ones) better.
