Fish bowl has been remedied. Winter tires are not on because the dealership didn't give me the key for the wheel locks. They say my car does not have them, when I can clearly see it does. That will be three more hours of driving in a circle to have them match up what wheel lock number they need to order. Also fun, they said they didn't know if they could transfer my tags, and my insurance agent was bugging me to return the old ones. While I was at performance shop waiting for my new wheels to be installed my agent calls me and tells me I've returned the current car tags and that they were transferred. So now my car is illegal and I don't have my new wheels and tires installed. Thanks Audi of Frederick! She does look sexy with the windows corrected though:   Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Guessing he had the windows tinted & doesn't feel like he's driving in a fish bowl  Car looks great, Jesse! Looking forward to seeing it with the new wheels The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Yes, sorry. Fishbowl is what people call a tintless car. Because it feels like everyone is staring at you. The correction is getting the windows tinted. I went with 20% this time, the 15% I had on the GR Corolla was too dark for taking turns at night in a neighborhood with lots pedestrians. Luckily this car has a light somewhere that turns on at low speed when you turn the wheel enough. Also the headlamps track the wheel position too. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I had my windows tinted within two hours of leaving the dealership. My guy was half the price the dealer wanted too. | |||

New Jeep Compass to drive during the winter; road trips; and trips to Home Depot. The RS 5 is too nice to be daily driver or exposed to salt/sand. Plus this uses 87 vs 93. I Was trying for 2000's Tacoma or even an old Ranger, but they were all way to expensive most over $12,000. Got this on end of year markdown from $38k to $24k and since it's brand new has a warranty for relatively much better price than used vehicle. Gets delivered tomorrow.

Nice Jesse. My friend just got a Ranger AWD for I think $2k more than that. Brand new. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

You're gonna need a bigger garage. | |||

Prefontaine, I only had one option requirement leather/heated seats. This thing and the Dodge Hornet were the only things under $30k out the door that I could find that were AWD/4WD. I was kicking myself when I read your reply. Looked and I would have had to raise my budget over 50% to get into a ranger. The Bronco Sport was in consideration, but that was over budget as well. In fact anything new was over budget. I just stretched the budget because of the value highly marked down new presents vs over priced used. Don't even get me started on the secondary used car market.  Thank goodness that the purchase attempt on the Hornet went sideways, I feel like I Dodged a bullet there. The first one (3mi ODO) dash lit up like a Christmas, I didn't think it even had that many systems or understand how they could all require service. Plus the turn single didn't click when engaged and didn't turn off after turning. Second identical one on lot had squirrels living under the hood and a dead battery. Again someone was looking down upon me last night. I didn't understand why a sleek looking 268hp small SUV was the worst selling car in America, I now know why. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Houses without at least a 1 car garage never made sense to me, but I've lived in the same area all my life and they're not common here. Same as houses without basements. That's a lot of living space people are giving up. In any case, that's a nice pair to have in any driveway. Congratulations. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

I'm betting the Audi cost more than my first house. It's a beautiful car. I wonder if someone makes a good outdoor cover for it? | |||

A good looking pair. Now you’re going to need snow tires for the Jeep Compass.  BTW – now you don’t need snow tires and wheels for the Audi. Can you return them? Serious about crackers | |||

That's some good looking driveway decoration you've got there, sir! God bless America. | |||

I knew I messed up. My apologies. I said Ranger, when I meant Maverick. Two acquaintances have bagged Mavericks. One guy got the FWD model for $24k brand new + TTL. The other guy got the AWD version for a few thousand more. Ford has been dealing on them pretty hard. For the money it’s pretty damn hard to beat. What am I doing?

First bath. I wish I could get a good picture of the color. The Purple glitter look only shows up in person.     Got dark last night before I applied the wax, getting ready to do that now. I highly recommend this product for between waxes, I'm using it as a base and applying wax on top. First time using it, but it really brings out the depth. Also super easy to use, and I used it in cold weather.  Meguiar's D15501 Last Touch Spray Detailer bought it on a whim because it was marked down $32 to $19, and Ultimate Detailer is $16 for small spray bottles at AutoZone. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

When I was selecting a Genesis G7 the first one that they brought in from a remote lot was blue green, they claimed. It looked black to me. “If you view it in sunshine and move your head around you can see the color,” the sales guy said. Serious about crackers | |||

This one is opposite, it's called Sebring Black Crystal Effect, so it's got black in the name, but it not actually black. Here's a picture after I waxed it today.  It's really dark purple with metal flakes. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Did you sell the snow tires and wheels that you bought for the Audi? They’re unneeded now that you have the Jeep for winter driving. Serious about crackers | |||
