Hehe. Will be interesting to see if anything remotely similar gets manufactured

Strangely not a million miles different in the end.
Trying to decide what to replace my wife's car with this year. I like the look
of the new A45 S. Hard to justify it though. It's about the same price as the
Supra (just more practical and faster). And simply more than we need. The A35 is
a bit more reasonable, but also not as fast (but then the A250 she has now is
frankly fast enough most of the time). Maybe a Tesla model 3? Seems interesting.
New 2 series is due out.. next year? I think.. but I want it now.
Maybe just keep what we have and buy a cheap (used) little fun blaster. 86/BRZ?
370Z?
Tough decisions.

Or... both of you go work in the UK next year and make sure you get a chunky
car allowance.

Yeah. We've done the UK thing though. I dunno. It'll probably be a job
bloodbath next year there once covid dies down and brexit fully hits. Also we
just bought a house, haven't even moved in yet. At the moment I'm happy just
sticking to my job I think. Clicked over 10 years last week (though 7 as a
contractor so doesn't count).

You don't want to be doing the transmission in the A250 4matic.
If you've done 100K already sell it.

Nah nowhere near. It's just hit 30,000.
That's the main issue, we do no mileage. I drove back to Melbourne last night
for a few days, came down in the Cruze. It's a 2010 manual Cruze (willing to
sell if anybody wants to buy); it's done 30,000km too. 3,000 per year! It's
insane. I think my last service was the 200,000km service based on time.

Funnily enough I DO ride my bike to work
Never bought the Supra. We did get another merc though the model 3 was a close
2nd. And the Cruze is gone.

Hah. Flicked onto this image tonight, it's funny. Starting to consider trading
the car again.
Sadly I'm in exactly the same boat as last time in this post! Nothing I'm really
interested in. All the cars around are basically the same, except now they're
all Chinese.
Drove a mate's BYD Seal the other day. Was surprisingly decent. Dunno if I'd
want one but honestly not a bad car. Model 3 is still the same. Don't even know
if Mercedes does the A35 in a sedan anymore, but it's the same as what we have
today, no point swapping for that.
New CLA is out in a few weeks.
There's either "fun" cars that aren't overly practical/useful for me
(single car household still) or there's useful cars that aren't as much fun.
I've thought for a while something like a Macan GTS would be an option but
looking recently I dunno. Current car is 6yo at the end of the year I think.
It's done 35,000km.

No matter what you end up with you will ruin it.
Because you are a MAMIL.

I could disagree with you about the F40 again but I'd still have it, and I'd
still do that to it
Though I don't think I've ever had a bike in my
car.
Realised car is turning 5 later this year not 6. So less than I thought. Got
some time.

I gave new found respect for you.
Or perhaps your missus who won't allow it.
But... you are still a MAMIL and I am the toecutter (when the apocalypse comes).
