Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

I put this in the other chat, but for posterity's sake... I just put my name down on one of these. It's for Mrs. Hire and will arrive the same month her 328d wagon's lease expires.
I thought you were the one using the BMW wagon until your Yukon gets here?

I am. Got a VIN; Yukon will be here in April. Wife's going to take the wagon (basically already has). G70's gone this week... basically broke even on it.

I kind of curious, how do you break even on a new mainstream car that's over 1 years old?

Got it last April I believe, so not quite a year, but we got a fantastic deal when we bought it.

Ok, I guess. Does that factor in taxes as well?

Yes.

It is getting smaller, right?

But how small will it go before it disappears?

Back to the topic, I'm intrigued by this is500.

But I would get lc500 used before I would consider this one personally.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

I'd still take the IS as I like smaller cars and the LC is 195.3 inches long. The IS is 10 inches shorter.

My Father has a 2021 LC500 convertible. It is about as long as my Bullitt visually so I am thinking the 10" is from the front but not sure.

Bullitt is 188.5 inches so closer to the IS.

yea...i saw a review a bit ago for an Infiniti Q50 Red Sport in Slate Gray in it looked surprisingly good in it too...it looks different depending on the lighting, which has an interesting effect.

What’s the color Ron, I can’t tell, putty grey?
There’s a guy in the hood here with a 911 in that putty grey or what I call Battleship Grey.
Medium grey non metallic color. There is some gloss to it though.

I saw a Stinger the other day in a similar colour that was pretty eye catching.  The one I saw had all the chrome bits in the pic blacked out.
