Good morning!!!!

LOL 3490 miles on our Pilot we got Dec 2016

The first new car I bought was a Nissan Sentra back in the early 80's. We put 60K miles on it on the first year! We've slowed down a lot since. My 2006 truck only got 202K in 12 years.

This is the site I used.

That was the one I saw, too, Ron. Looks simple enough. Wife already gave me an empty peanut jar.

Thanks, I have some old 4x4s, and I can get jars at the grocery store or use old pickle jars or something.

even better, what's the fastest the Pilot has gone? 45mph? 35?.....

Rumor is the subaru has seen triple digits, just a rumor....

I had to chuckle, the used car dealer who bought my Jaguar for a song said he wanted my Subaru too. He saw how clean the Jag was and I told him the Subaru was
almost the same. Plus it only has 12K miles on it. Easier to trade it in though for same money. I'm asking 29k for a 39k Outback(with 2k more options on top) I paid 37K for. Anyone want a perfect loaded Outback before the dealer gets a steal? This whole process is usually unpleasant enough I can see why folks take the first trade in amount offered. For sure their first number is rarely their best number.
I want the number where we keep you from walking out the door.

Details please! What color, our Forester has 97K miles was thinking of trading it in. Post a few pics.

What extras do you have on it. I could fly down and drive it back.

What color, our Forester has 97K miles, Post a few pics. logistics might be tough but maybe . . .

this won't happen for three months Don, now that I ordered a new car. When it comes in, then I'll find a happy home.
will take a pic tomorrow. 6 cylinder, 25 mpg local, dark blue, brown leather interior, tow package, roof rack, window vents. Retail is 31k.
Ordered a four cylinder Q5 in medium blue, brown leather interior. Same gas mileage but Audi requires premium fuel which was almost
a deal breaker for me. What a waste of money...although I'm told our cars would run a lot better/be more efficient if all we had was super premium.

Engine engineers must love octane. It's often 50 cents more per gallon here so every 12 gallon fill will cost me an unnecessary 6 bucks. This is probably why the Europeans
love their diesels. I would have bought a diesel in this Q5 in a heartbeat if they offered it.
I think all their diesel engineers are in jail...along with a slew of VW and Bosch execs. Now the US is prosecuting
the ex head of VW. That soap opera seems not to want to wrap up any time soon.

Today was made less unpleasant by the fact the head sales guy is ex Mercedes and Porsche and
really a fair player. And instead of putting the pitch on me to buy this one we can get for even more, when
I said simply I'd like to order a new car, he said fine, let's do it. And software glitches aside, it did not take long.
My sales guy has been in the business almost 40 years, what stories he could tell.

still 87 with heat index of 100.

long range forecast very stormy, maybe that system down in Florida moving North.
Thunderstorms and rain predicted every day for a week, with cooler temps coming in.

3 months is OK
What year is it?
Do you have a pic of the window sticker so I can see the packages and options?

RS, the Ranch dressing/dipping sauce has almond milk, roasted garlic, rice vinegar, lemon peel, red onion, savory spice blend, white miso, date sugar, fresh parsley, dill and cashews.
I really like it on steamed broccoli also.

Good evening all. 73F this morning, partly cloudy and light breeze. Winds got gusty today, partly sunny sky and high temp of 89F. Choir practice. followed by mowing the back yard, bike ride dinner and unload the stuff we hauled back from the weekend visit. Also back in saddle dog sitting, dog is in major mope mode.
Enjoyed all the pics
Prayers for all.

Starting off with quite a thick mist this morning. I'm not complaing, in my haste to get out yesterday I missed part of my neck when rubbing in sun screen, then couldn't get to sleep last night for the sun burn.

Andrew, that has to be one of the best formal family pictures ever !
"we've only got 4 kids, so far" . Photographer may be needing a wider angle lens if you have too many more

This is probably why the Europeans love their diesels.

That love affair with diesels is cooling in Europe, thanks to VW's cheating. Diesels dropped 40% in the UK last year, now accounting for just 33% of new car sales.

Diesels used to be much more economical to run, however the engine improvements over the last few years have narrowed that gap. The mpg figures for vehicles sold in the UK always tend to look good - our vehicles drink generous imperial gallons, not those diminutive US gallons that leave the engine always feeling thirsty for more :laughing:
