And it still makes no sense. :derp:

3/5 :plac: as I understand it was a purchase made where the vehicle isn't intended to be driven by the DFD member taking krebitz for the :plac:, be it a spouse or girlfriend or other member of the :haus: hold.
Right so what cut off do you want to do ? There are those here that roll in their spouses cars all the time ala desert. There are those that never do it... to add to all this, some buy it/make the decision for their spouse others let them do it... we either draw the battle line or keep the gray area.
1/2?

My wife is leasing the same car and I think we are buying it out this summer. Ours is white too and has a light beige interior with chocolate brown dash/trim and a panoramic roof, xenon/LED headlights and LED tails. It's been very reliable to date. Hope you're adopting a good one. Its perfectly happy running 87 octane so that's all we give it ZFG

You had listed several :plac: moves as 3/5 :plac: moves that weren't. Also, we didn't have 20 3/5 :plac: moves. :math:

Example:
Fled's :taco: - not a 3/5
:melon: 's Soul - indeed a 3/5

If it's a car in the :haus: hold and you maintain it, pay for some part of it, and are a participating party in the purchase or :plac: process... I say it go'eth on the list. Spouse :plac: is what should be designated the 3/5 :plac:
No I didn’t. I carried :melon: s 3/5 th forward until someone edited it. It was the only fraction on the list. All
Subsequents were +1

I mistakenly thought you were applying it to the 2020 tally.
I misread.

In the strictest sense, I feel our purchase was in the true :plac: spirit due to the fact that we only had the teeg for 2 years there was nothing :wrong: with it..... yet we still went ahead and bought more vehicle than we really need.....

Over zealous salesman in my son..... a good deal and a significant upgrade for only $50/mo more

We actually really liked the teeg....bit the touareg is in a different class... feels pretty luxurious to us

It manages to make my R feel kinda cheap, and I think that says a lot about it. Four door kessy and window hardware that is a class above the R, and way more soft plastics... what I like about it a lot is the motor 3.6L V6 and a pretty slick trans, what my wife dislikes a lot about it is the radio/head unit which is straight outta da nineties.

We were considering other newer and cheaper cars like the teeg/rage 4 but she thinks that she will miss her T-reg so I dunno.

Whats crazy is I get giddy looking at the EPIC depreciation of all these high end, nearly $100k, vehicles with more powah then :jesus:

You can have 600+hp for $50k and it has a/c. BYO tires.

300 remains my goal, or even less for a lighter car. Basically 10 lbs per hp.

Wheels or flywheel. That is a very solid number IMO. 370z is close to that...
