.Think we'll keep our old school vehicles for the foreseeable future. At least until the the prices and supply get back to normal. The Lexus is getting up on 150k now and still feels like it could do another 150k if required. We talked about replacing it with a wagon for a little more utility but we both still really like driving it and the truck has filled in for rough duty. Things might change when I decide to retire but as things are I only drive our personal vehicles on weekends. My wife has access to both vehicles during the day and she likes both so no real reason to change up right now.
I'm always open to getting another fun car in the future which will also likely to be old school rwd manual sports car of some sort. No idea what, as I'm more of an opportunist when it comes to that, but like Oliver mentioned earlier the prices are just too out there right now.
By the time we do decide it might be even time to go electric for a daily. I'm not adverse to that idea but not excited either. There's nothing that really excites me much about ev and about the only metric of concern I can think of off the top of my head is range. I've worked with battery powered dc power plants for years but still find it hard to apply, or relate the terminology to vehicles. Will come with time I suppose.
One thing that i find that dates a car than anything else is the display based infotainment systems. For instance, the info system in my Lexus felt dated within a few years of being new whereas the analog controls in the 20 year old Z3M still made complete sense and instantly functional, and probably will for eons.
Cool thread!
Edit: Forgot to mention that my wife really likes the new Bronco.
Bit of a surprise considering she doesn't like SUVs in general.
