We’ve been saying it’s the car for you ...
It feels surprisingly cheap. Like low quality cheap. I didn’t get that feeling in the Santa Fe. But I should probably drive one.

Also black cloth can eat it. Way too damn hot.
Dude, black interiors look nice but actually suck. My BMW always looks so dirty inside, it drives me nuts, every spec of dust or pine needle on the floor is just glaringly obvious. I don't notice the hot thing as much, likely because I never get out of work until like 7 PM or later.

:dat: even with :tintsbrah: black is hell on the summers here. I will make sure my next car will NOT get a black interior, which would be quite easy if I jump to the bimmer bandwagon, camaro on the other hand, it seems rarer

:yesth: flying in there and I'm sure we will spend some time, then road tripping for some sightseeing, hiking, northern lights, etc.
Cool.
The :scrooge: -iest place to grab a quick cheap meal is literally a hot dog stand called Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur. They're really cheap and :drool: . They're made from lamb and have a few different :sawce: s to try. There's a couple in town but the original one is down near the harbor, not far from the concert hall. President Clinton ate there, among other famous people. They're really good, and at about $4-$5 are about as cheap a meal as you'll find there.

Give me a couple days and I'll post up a few more places. I'll be out of the office tomorrow so I'll try to remember to do it Thursday.
As promised, here are a few restaurant recommendations in Reykjavik, from the most casual to very formal.

Saegreifinn - The Sea Baron https://www.saegreifinn.is/

This is a little seafood restaurant down by the old harbor. It is VERY casual, meaning you sit on benches, often sharing a table with strangers, using plastic plates and forks. It is, therefore, one of the least expensive meals you can have in town. However, the seafood is very, very fresh and simple and delicious. The owner, the Sea Baron himself, used to be a cook in the Merchant Marine so he knows his stuff. The specialties here are lobster soup, several different types of grilled fish, and minke whale, among other things. I’d recommend the scallops; they were some of the best I’ve ever had.

Café Loki https://loki.is/
A nice place for lunch is Café Loki, located across the square from Hallgrimskirka Church (that’s the tall, pointed church in the middle of town):
Image
The food is very authentic and the clientele is mostly local. They have a good stew called “Meat Soup”, and a couple of different combination plates that let you sample several different local dishes. They also have some interesting local teas.

Perlan http://perlan.is/?lang=en
For a very nice, fancy formal dinner, check out this place. The restaurant is actually under the glass dome in the picture below.

Perlan, the striking glass dome structure situated on Oskjuhlio hill, is one of the city’s most recognizable buildings. Over 176,000 trees have been planted on the hillside surrounding Perlan, creating a rare woodland setting in urban Reykjavik complete with bicycle and walking paths. The restaurant itself sits on a revolving floor on top of the city’s hot water storage tanks and provides breath-taking 360-degree views of Reykjavik. Head chef Stefan Eli Stefansson and his team serve a seasonal four-course menu as well as varied, buffet-style food featuring local Icelandic delicacies including reindeer meatballs, wild goose breast and Skyr cake. After dinner, patrons can relax in the restaurant bar with a drink served by Bardur Gudlaugsson, former winner of the International Cocktail Competition.
Perlan, Oskjuhlio, 125 Reykjavik, +354 562 0200

It’s a very nice experience. The food and service were excellent. It’s expensive, but worth it.

enjoy your trip! :like:

Turbo Moostang rental review.

Satisfactory powah. Will do triple digits to pass without a problem. Still a big footprint and I loathe that you cannot see the corners to judge where you are in a lane or pulling into parking. Exhaust note is a mixed bag. At some points, it sounded like a Subaru flat-four with an aftermarket vape bruh exhaust. Other times it sounds too close to a V8 that I was suspect of fake vroom noises being piped in. Either way, meh. Doesn't draw attention from the local law enforcement because a) Mustangs are everywhere and b) there are also plenty of loud C7 Vettes asserting their dominance to draw attention.

Convertible was fantastic for Florida in February. At 6', I still fit fine in the backseat, just with a face full of wind. Uncomfortable at 40 mph or higher. Pseudo buckets in back are nice doe. Spacious; I could comfortably fit in the back sitting behind my lady driving (5' 7") and her 6' 5" dad in the passenger seat. Four adults fit fine. Impressive.

Would still only buy in GT350 form.

I'm just messing with you, the predominant opinion online is that humans can't fit back there but I fit just fine behind myself in all mustangs.
