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?
