IX-Lemon Life.

It's a weird looking car still. No way around it. No hideous, but it's not good.

Looking at that Costco trip, I'm guessing you never played Tetris growing up? :lolol:

The :baby: :baby: :baby: chronicles

Happy for you man. Life is too short to do something you don't like if it can be avoided and this is an awesome step. Sounds like it's well thought out and you have the spousal support, so why not go for it? No better time than now. While it's sad to see the car go, it sounds like it's part of a bi...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

I drive too many miles to lease. I could try the whole lease, then buyout strategy if I were to go for something without an EV credit. Currently, the $10k off on the Ioniq 6 is for purchasing only. The lease deals aren't nearly as good. The Ioniqs are leasing here really well… almost 5 figures cash...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Seriously considering a Ford Lightning. Pretty big discounts going on, but still expensive. It'll likely be cheaper to get a Lariat with the big battery than to wait for the Flash trim level for 2024. Just trying to decide if I want to forego the heat pump for the additional options of the Lariat. C...

Yeah, insane pricing for what you get. An ancient chassis, an ugly exterior, and some screens (which are kind of cool doe). I can’t believe the thing is pushing $70k and the center console is still that old cheap ass Mustang look.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

Great episode. The only car I really miss is my NC miata. I sometimes wonder if I should have bought an ND miata over the BRZ. They are way more fun. They're just a touch too small. The NC was probably my absolute limit, the ND is a little tighter, and I was 22 when I had the miata. I'm less accept...

Toledo is a very sad place. It's a totally different tier of city than Cincinnati, Columbus, Pittsburgh, etc.

I guess I am the Ohio expert on this forum? Grew up as a kid in California, but moved here as a teenager. Columbus is nice, but prices exploded on housing. It basically isn't land locked in any direction, so it sprawls everywhere. You could be 45 minutes from someone else who also says they live in ...

Yeah, this has gone on way too long. I'm in favor of lemoning it.

You have to admit, if they lemon law this, pay you back, ship it to Germany, and find a nicked wiring harness in a door panel from the tint install. :lolol: Zee Germans will be cursing your name.

He's already getting that I haven’t gotten shit from anyone other than a loaner car that is inferior to mine as far as age and the spec I actually paid for. So while it is nice that I’m getting a comparable car and I’m grateful it happened. I have also partaken in an abysmal customer experience her...

:gtfo: Two faced? It is what it is. For the first 3 days there was no loaner, then they tried to put me into an X1. It goes without saying that a car in service for 30 days is not ok. If they can't fix the car they should be compensated by BMW. Not my problem if they aren't. Agree, Max is not out o...

It's one problem, that has occurred once. You're trying to lemon law it because the dealership is slow to resolve and you want to :plac:.

You're actually going to follow through to lemon law it? When you've got a loaner of the exact same thing, and don't even need the vehicle right now? And you have a baby due any day?!

The one I drove was 56k. My taco is 46k … :iono: not even thinking about it as a 70k car … you can get a ton of these for 46-8k for the non turd bro trim.
