IX-Lemon Life.

[max225]

So in the IRONY of IRONIES... the most ANTI SOCIALISM thing to do in california is NOT BUYING A TESLA. Because you're funding your own doom and joining the masses. The irony lies in the fact that everyone thinks that buying a tesla is buying into Capitalistic consumerism... yet it is something completely different.

So bmw is upping their offer on the IX to 699 a month vs 799 a month prior.... another 15% less than before... if only I can trade the I4 on the IX i would be golden .... HMMMMMMMMM

I think I posted a pic from work... let me do it again for posterity.
Like this feels like communism. :wtaf:

It's like a Ford factory worker lot full of Fords. Only your corporate overlord is Elon "Powertrain of the Future, Suspension of the Past" Musk.

We are definitely blood brothers on Tesla.

I literally thought about saying “I don’t work at tesla”under that pic, but refrained. Shit is just normalized like that here… target parking lots are the worst. Good thing I don’t shop there and only go out of sheer necessity once a year

Just read that the other day (yes, I still get a paper magazine delivered to my every month ) T'was quite interesting.

Do you still hate 'yota?

Well.

I freely admit that they are making much more interesting cars recently vs the past couple of decades, so legit props to them for that. The more cool cars in the world the better. But I still don't think I'd actually spend money to own any of their current offerings. What I do hate is (some) typical Toyota drivers. Little old ladies, , etc. They're awful.

So i am tempted to attempt to punt the I4 for another IX, given that the 's got stronger since I last bought it may make sense...

Please tell me you'll at least buy from a different dealer this time?

Note the bolded from my original quote. I should have also added present company excluded.

To be fair
I4 purchase dealer 1
IX purchase dealer 2
IX service/lemon was dealer 3

which dealer to pick from I could give a F. Whoever has best price... Dealer 2 technically should...

Anything but contentment with your present sitch is good for me.

Naw breh. Ron hates dented 10 year old Camrys and their owners who will drive them for another 10 years without maintaining them because they can. Ron is also a VW Euroboy enthusiast type who disdains cars as transport only EXCEPT for his wife. She's okay. Even though she's Toyota mentality from day one.

is pretty much all ,
I do take exception with the wife comment, In the spirit of showing her everything that was available when we were car shopping for her before buying her H , I showed her a new Camry and she - with zero prompting from me - was 5/7 .

There is no planet on which her slanty H is somehow a driver's car compared to a Camry (of the most recent vintage)

Dammit Dirk, I have said, repeatedly, that the H is boring to drive and it's a good mobile.

They seem like decent cars but with just a much higher likelyhood of something catastrophic. It’s still probably low… but no where near as low as a honderp or yoda.

Btw Honda is recalling their 30 year old 3.5 liter v6 in most of their new cars as it spins bearings … due to a shitty crankshaft.

I feel like both are just par for the course shit... [user not found] dumped a white Frontier BroForx for a... white Frontier BroForx because the first one was dirty. Love him, but that was pretty peak. The OG also traded in his Charger for the same GTI he traded in to get the Charger.

I also bought the same BMW twice.
