Yeah, the one nice thing about Tesla is that the price is the price. No bullshit.

That's what Saturn used to do as well.

1200 miles on the Rav4 and still digging it.

It will frequently shut off the engine and coast on battery when I get into parking lots. Which doesn't make any noise when you put it in park. So I still forget to turn it off all the time. Get out, go to lock it, and can't. Whoops.

Glad we got in before the rush and it probably helps there is a car import dock in my town. Got it for MSRP + tax + DMV fees.

Close, they were Xterras.

Two actually, one which my rents bought from Hertz and I proceeded to drive off a cliff in western NC, into a farm field and finally stopped in a trout stream. Walked away with some wet shoes and a few cracked ribs.

Parents used the insurance money from the totaled first one to get me an absolutely beautiful, tricked out, leather and supercharged floor model from a Nissan dealership. Don't ask me why my parents got me a faster version of a car I had already destroyed.

It was uh... good for a lot of things in college.

That first car was the last wreck I was in that was my fault. Somewhere in that 1-2 seconds of freefall I must have had a moment of clarity. Later accidents were just me and Cat getting tagged by idiots from behind at stoplights and traffic.

A friend of mine from high school got a Vette from his parents. He drove it off a cliff in Western NC and died in college.

I had a similar experience after taking too many different kinds of drugs one night. Never tried anything new after that.

Current waitlist: 2 years. Do not enjoy that idea.

We pre-ordered a car.

A nice used car similar to ours, but about 4-5 years older came up nearby.

I asked my wife if we should just get the used one.

Her "Ew, no, if we're going to have sex in a car, we should make sure we're the first people to have sex in the car"

Technically, there's no way to prove you're the first people to have sex in a new car.

Sure, but the newer it is, the better the odds are.

You could just test drive them from the lot, it'd be so quick they wouldn't even notice.

When you break your new car in, you know AFTER, tell your wife that Leisher said two teamsters were probably playing "hide the sausage" in there first.

That's why we're buying German.

Hope it doesn't smell like piss.
