I'm liking it a lot more than I thought I would. Liking the pre-conditioning options and stuff here in the winter months and it's hard to beat the instant torque and autopilot feature for road trips. Def doesn't handle like the F but I'm also starting to wonder how much longer I'll keep the F around.

Just time for a change, or another reason for potentially selling the F?

The Tesla is just more well rounded of a vehicle and makes more sense for daily purposes. Much larger interior but has similar configuration for seating as I got the executive rear seats option. The F has always been my weekend car. In the winter it sits in the garage unless it's going to be a clear road/nice day. The F is fun but I've also had it for 4 years now and I also have a S2000. I'm not really sure I need 3 cars. I still enjoy driving the F hearing the growl of the v8 and the handling, I prefer the bucket seats more than those of the Tesla. We'll see in a few months if I start to miss driving it or it's time to let it go and maybe get a GSF in a few years or just not bother since now I'm electric jaded by instant power.

Nice combo. The GX looks fun. The ISF not too bad either . Sent this to a friend of mine that's looking for TE"s for his GX and sounds like you guys met the other day? Richard, he may have mentioned his NSX.

Give me a second to pick up all the jealousy that just spewed from my soul. Looks perfect!
