Highly recommend this...... But then again, the bolded is the bald truth.......Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:27 amThings I also said, yet here we are.MrH42 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 11:14 pm To answer questions:
- can’t do a motorcycle. I’d kill myself in a week. I know too many friends who have seriously hurt themselves on them so it’s a self imposed rule to preserve my life. I’ll do anything with 4 wheels though. Exocet commuting to work in heavy traffic is fair game.
Take an MSF, most let you use a loaner bike, see if its for you, if you want.
Just like any BMW product outside of M vehicles
Enter my 328i that cost the first owner over $1.30/mile in depreciation alone. This is why MINIs don't sell though, they are insanely expensive. They're cool vehicles but they aren't $40K cool when something like an STI, Hype R, etc. are all far better vehicles in every way other than style.

These were all terrible ideas.
Mazda3 was a serious contender. But it’s almost the exact same price as the new Outback XT, which is much more car for the money.
Just bought a Forester for my mom this week. It was nice. 2020 Outback XT Onyx Edition is like 90% a sure thing for me now. The real question: Blue or Green?

Plenty fast for my mom who doesn’t drive on highways. CVT drones a bit when you’re really trying to get after it, but it’s adequate for 90% of people out there. I would want something faster for my daily driver though.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 10:04 amHow bad is the forester acceleration?

I dunno... I think he stopped posting right around 3 months ago... because I have no life, I noticed and called it out a few times. I am not sure we were ever able to triangulate him

He's probably been on a yacht cruising the Mediterranean since then.

Green, always green laddie.
But in this case I feel these two colors both bring out different facets of the car. The olive accentuates the ruggedness and the bloo hints at the sportiness.
Which one of those do you feel (or want to feel) when you look at it?
