Oh it had nothing to do with the snow nor the cold.

My "retirement" car is an LC500. That's probably where my Supra money will go in a few more years instead.

A slush like substance was involved.

It is a very bad story but I will tell it again in random when I have a few minutes.

Need to let this thread get back to panic mode.

So far my top contender for the retirement (and last) car remains the type F but that will not be confirmed until I see what is out there in 2025. The one thing I can 100% guarantee is that it would not be an 86/BRZ even if they still existed.


Bad news, Tcoat. You better get one fast if you want a new Jaguar F-Type. I just read that the 2020 model going on sale this spring is dropping the stick shift. I imagine that might be a deal breaker for you. No stick = no sports car for me. Then again, for a retirement car maybe you want to take it easy on your left leg for a change.

Was planning my retirement in a used Honda, yet now they have priced me out of the market:

Not a total deal breaker but could very well change my preferences elsewhere. The reality will be that I will just use the thing to putter down to the store for smokes anyway.
