Default Sad day. Sold the ES (lease)

Sold it to the local dealer. Process easy as pie. I made off with a $5,000 check. Effectively making my lease with the car $222 a month. Had I did this peak pandemic/car craze, this same dealer offered me a $12,000 check. I should've did it. oh well.

It was a truly beautiful car for sure. For some reason it looked 10x better than it ever did as they drove it away. The next car for me is a bit controversial, especially here. I wonder if anyone can guess.




Now what to do with my illuminated sills (perfect condition) and FitcamX (the low res one) PM me if inerested.

That sure is a VERY nice Lexus. Sad day for sure. Mach-E perhaps?

PM sent about parts.

I know the feeling of watching a beloved car go away. Kinda silly how we get emotionally attached to these things, right? ....right, guys??

Anyway, the suspense of the next ride is killing me.

The first car that comes to mind with 20" wheels is a C8 Corvette. But how could the C8 be controversial, that car is a work of art!

I myself miss the Audi/BMW driving experience. I was going to get a new Audi S5 hard I not opted for the Lexus. So my guess is something German. Isn’t E46 BMW’s designation for the M3?

Well, at least someone will be getting a beautiful certified ES now that you're done with it


Oh, Tesla?

Geez, what will we do without your very numerous witty, informative, sometimes contentious, insider information views and posts? In any case, wish you luck with whatever wheels you decide upon. Maybe a Genesis? Drove one of them around southern California last year and was impressed...
