335d is off the road, gotta take the head off and see what's going on. It was really starting to drink coolant and I had zero trust in it anymore. New steed.
'18 540i. Gotta say the B58 and ZF8 makes for a REALLY nice combo. Might jump into a 540D when they're a bit more reasonable in a year or two (Maybe they never will be? lol)

Not yet but in the plans...
1) Wife to return the Volvo XC90, and pick up a Tesla Y ...
- Some things feel so cheap: leather seats are 'flat' (not perforated), don't think it has cooling, seat rails on the floor just look/feel like an afterthought, the 3 has perforated leather, and LED door trim
- I think the X would be better buy for size, but cost is pretty prohibitive ...
- Wife wants to wait for the refresh; wants the white leather 
2) Trade in TLX for Tesla 3? 
- Really don't want car payments ...
To be determined........

Two microwaves, must be a riot at parties.
1 EV makes sense, 2, hell no.
XC90 is nice so is the RDX, unless you really put on mileage going to a 3/Y is a downgrade.

So, for the Tesla owners (we should have some?) ....
Am I correct to understand ...
For any Tesla that supports FSD, in Canada, you can forego the crazy 1-time $11k CAD fee, and instead opt for the $99/month subscription FSD fee?

Update on Furballella's ride...2024 Mercedes GLE 350
Now I'm in a whole other ballgame, FML. Everything's different and I don't know much about MBs ...
The lugnuts are this awk 5-leaf clover thing, so need a new adapter. Jack points need this T-tetris hockey puck.
Car's riding on 275/50/R20s ...
I'm trying to re-use some off-brand (Opti?) 19x8J rims we used as winters on the XC90... (Unclear of offset, whatever the 'standard' is?)
How wide is too wide for tires on a 19x8? Will 275/55/R19 fit?
I'm getting different results in my Googling ... The math says I can put 275/55/R19's on the 19" rims, and it'll clear the calipers.
Based off this listing, I'm kinda fucked, I need to go to a 255/60/R19 or something to fit on an 8")

You'd probably go 265/55-19 no?

Love that color.
IS500 would be a great car to keep long term. No one pumping out v8s.
I took my new to me 2019 Sienna to New York City. All went well. The traffic going into Manhattan on the weekend is better than ours going down the DVP.

damn that sienna making moves already. Must've been nice to have all that space on a road trip like that. Last time I did that drive was in a chevy malibu, it sucked.

Yes...it was very nice to throw the inlaw right in the back and not have to see her. 
I put 3000 kms on it already. The 8 or 9 speed feels funny compare to the 6 speed. Got lucky with this used car....no funny business and all worked as it should.
The size took a little while to get used to but now I am driving it like a Civic getting around stupid Markham drivers.
