Cars We Drive!

[jbarwick]

My company is going back to 5 days mandatory in office so I have been doing a lot of commuting lately. Today is one of the days where I am glad I have just written off the Outback and don't mind what happens to it. A semi had a tire explode causing all sorts of debris to scatter and hit cars. In the OB, I didn't mind but if we end up getting something nicer as a next family hauler, it will be hard when stuff like that happens.

Also, if we end up with a new family hauler soon, it could be my oldest sons first car. It then makes me question cars we end up getting....a first car as an older Macan? No thanks.

Clearly you need to get a Porsche GT3 Touring or a Volvo XC

You first on the GT3.

A Macan would be an excellent first car. It looks nice, is “premium” but is also pretty much a sports car. And then the rear seats fold flat so active kids can haul a lot of gear and/or use the space as the stabbin’ wagon.

Already have a GT3 and an AMG GT63.

Mercedes built something similar 4 years back:

I doubt the Audi one will see the light of day too.

A bit masochistic for me, but hard to argue with it.

Cool Mercedes. Hadn’t seen that before. I’m sure you are right. It is an proto after all, but you never know. Sainz Sr. won Dakar last year in an E-Tron (or at least won whatever obscure class he ran in).

Wouldn't a Ford Lightening do the same?

Also, long drives? What's the range on these?

I drive a Cybertruck, and I'm sick of people flipping me off. I wish they understood how helpful this car is for me.

I drive long distances for my job, so my self-driving Cybertruck helps reduce my exhaustion. But angry people just put their hate of Elon Musk on me.

**** her
“Since the vehicle is technically for my business, it needed to be big enough for a specific tax code. The Cybertruck was the only one that fit the bill.”

Bullshit. The tax incentives on a cybertruck don’t make it cheaper than the model 3 she was leasing before. She’s spending more money to drive it, she didn’t “need” it.

Yeah, 100% she bought that for the attention and now is getting negative attention so she has buyer's remorse.

There is a weight limit that qualifies a vehicle as a work vehicle, she meant cybertruck is a the only Tesla that met that limit.

Still f her though.

The fact that a psychologist can get a special tax break for her business by buying a heavy truck is an indictment on our tax policy.
