well rominl has certainly 'been there, done that' as far as mods, care, and taking care of some great automobiles. i get the lack of interest in a car that isn't considered special but i've never understood getting a less interesting 'daily' while leaving the much nicer car in the garage. that's why i drive a g90 everywhere. still gets me from a to b, but it's joyful.

 

Don't get me started on the 'let me drive this 30 year old rust bucket so my depreciating asset can sit at home and depreciate less slowly' crowd . I get where rominl is coming from though. I loved my IS when I first got it, but after having a legit crappy commute for 3 years, it just became another car. I still liked it, but I wasn't putting anything but the essentials into that thing

 

i think you meant more slowly but i got your point.

 

Never know when a tree will fall on your garage

 

50k isn't really much money these days for a daily imho. my '15 and '16 gs were both 50k. i would say anything north of 90k i would start to take a more serious look like our gl550

like and enjoy cars don't mean i will have to pamper every single one out there. there could be plenty of cars that i don't care (or i can say too many to care).

it's just like saying i am a foodie doesn't mean when i want to have some quick instant noodle i still need to make it fancy. sometimes i just need some food quick so i don't starve. but there are times where i spend a lot of money and time on fancy food where i really enjoy

not sure if you mean me but if you refer to my nsx it's been long gone. we just have the model 3 and gl550 now. i have always wanted a crazy 3rd car in the garage but that's for another time.

and i never said the model 3 is not joyful, it is a fun car and i appreciate it for what it can do (no need for gas, good and smooth acceleration). there was a reason why i never consider a prius as a daily because i will be cussing it every day

 

there you go, as time goes by these are just cars we drive every day. it CAN be something we love and passionate and attached to but not necessarily always the case

speaking of which i am still trying to figure out how to get my calendar on my iphone to show up on the car screen... it keeps saying using tesla app and "enable" access but i can't find it.... @_@

 

When I try to sync my wife's contacts (Pixel 3) the bluetooth just keeps restarting we just leave contact syncing off now, it seems to be a common issue. At least this way she can take calls over BT

And I'd love to see you in a Prius

 

yeah i have everything enabled but somehow the calendar is not syncing. i never tried contact yet but yes i have read quite a few people complaining.

i actually thought for a second about getting a camry but i just don't think i can stand driving it. and prius? man i will be in rage mode every time. don't get me started on 99% of the prius i ran into every day...
