You are in your right mind thinking to get a secondary car. Your car is beautiful. Check leasehacker.com. There are many brokers that advertise cheap leases.

No problem. Cool!
Hope you find a one for a good deal.
I would say get the 2008 Bullitt model, but I know those cost a lot because they're a limited edition. Good luck to you.

23 Tesla S Plaid - it always leaves the house charged. It’s comfortable and I find it’s fairly peppy on the highway with decent passing power.

Do you prefer the S Plaid? I have thought about one — prices dropped a lot, but I might get an SUV instead of a sedan, like a Cayenne Turbo or X5M or maybe X Plaid. Usually I keep cars about 10 years, though and I have had the M5 for less than 4 years.

Yes I do. Will be getting another S Plaid in eighteen months when my lease is up. I had an X5M before the M5 and I am glad I scratched the suv itch. I enjoyed it. All of those options are excellent.

Sorry you are not my garage queen. But I enjoy every second of my time with you. May be that is the reason I spend 98% more time with you than other M4 owners in Canada

I work from home so do I count?

The Mazda6 is for crap weather and places we don't want to take the other cars.

In top down weather, the Miata is what I/we take 99% of the time unless we need to haul more than we can fit in it.

I went to the store yesterday &, since it was in the 90s, I forced myself to take the Hellcat LOL.

If we are feeling lazy, we take the CX-5 since it is always blocking one of the toys in the garage.

AWD is one of the all time great myths in the auto industry.

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply, but having spent few winters in the midwest with a RWD BMW there is absolutely no way in hell I'll ever do it again. Digging yourself out of the snow all the time sucks about as much as anything. It will be AWD and a set of snow tires for the winter.

Nothing other than that both of their photos were blurry and out of focus.
