Welcome to the Club! There are literally a...handful of us

Good to see other mind sets here. In my world daily doesn't need to be fun at all. More practical and Certainly preferred with some character compared to lets say an F150 or something. Strong preference for AWD, no coupes or sedans and no crossovers. Definitely needs to tow at least 3500lbs and fit family. That leaves Wagons and SUVs mostly. I don't expect it to be trouble free going hypothetically into 300k or whatever over next 15 years however long term parts availability is a must. Can't fix it if parts arent there. 2011 MBz E350 is a strong contender for my next daily but not necessarily a 20 year car. Maybe a 5 to 10 year. If I can skip it now with a better daily I might just go that route. I've considered Cayennes here previously of the same 2011 or so Era but I don't think I'd trust that long term. A 2008 or so Era V8 G500 is currently a potential front runner in my world. Certainly wouldn't lose any depreciation money on it anymore. With that said I'm still very curious about what mindset others have going into the future. Whatever car I'll end up with ill likely pre buy a bunch of consumables like brakes to stock up on just in case.

Long term ownership has been on my mind a bit lately. Some of us will still own 7s into the future and these are somewhat easy to keep going. Very simple overall and many parts can be made or swapped although some things are proving difficult long term like sourcing 13in tires. What about dailys? I like to have my daily car for as long as possible which means it needs to be pretty simple to begin with and have future parts availability. Whats a car that could be good to own for next 10 to 20 years into 200k miles +. Modern cars become a nightmare for long term ownership. Likely should be from a major brand and pretty mass produced. Likely should be relatively simple and possible open to an engine swap if necessary. I'm sure a number of you had issues with sourcing parts in recent years or just in general to nature of some of your other vehicles @Croc . If rebuild parts are NLA it makes it very difficult to keep a car on the road. Id like to say something like a Wrangler but their thirst for parts rules them out. Anything 2010+ generally speaking will be too dependent on too many sensors and overly complicated for no good reason. Something like an original Defender or MB G500? Both are similar to a 7 as they had a very long run on the same platform and are relatively simple?

Most of the time I don't enjoy being a modest 5 ft 7. That is until I get into a Crx, NA Miata or especially an S3 Caterham. Then I feel like my size is rewarded.

I need to start looking at tow hitches and 7pin wiring for the XC90 now. The day will be here before we know it

The S3 Tillet seat is even a tight squeeze into S3 chassis. Its a dreadful job every time.

@yellowss7 your 7 is being fat shamed

Nobody can predict the future. Time in the market is always better than timing the market. I'm sure some people wished they never waited to spring of 2020 to sell their car. List here, get eyes on it. Next year is likely going to be turbulent in many ways. If nothing else, might sell when people get their tax refunds. Works for Nissans Also just like with any purchases your asking price will dictate whether it sells quick or never on any platform. For the price that's buyer friendly it can sell tomorrow without any pictures. For a price that's seller friendly it might not meet reserve on BaT even with stars aligned and tax refunds in hand..

Amazing

Thats wild.

New Blackstone oil report is out Even more aluminum and iron, this time on even less miles. Last time I thought it might be high because my Accusump exploded so maybe parts of that were in the oil, but this time I have no Accusump, no oil cooler, regular WIX filter (maybe filter sucks?) and its even higher than before. I even fixed the misfire (very recently but still)
