In addition to all that, it's quite possible that I've lost my mind.

 
Dont worry I lost mine years ago and I still cant find it.
 
If I had a rational mind I would have bought a far larger vehicle that would be suitable for my family needs. But what do I do instead: I buy cars that are much smaller than the cars that I drove when I was a single lad and despite that I yearn for even smaller cars as my kids are getting taller.
 
If I was sensible I would pick a RX450 with its AWD for snow,its extra space and fuel efficiency.
 
Unfortunately that will not be the case since I am still searching for my mind.

The fun factor?
 
I seeked the fun factor with my BMW 335i and as a result I've developed a perpetual frown on my face.
 
I can assure you that after driving a Prius for a few years I will be back in this forum with a vengeance boasting about exciting German performance cars that I wish to buy. But right now I just want dependable boredom served with high technology features (the Prius)

BTW, has anyone ever heard there is a very, very little known way you can complain to BMW and you can get a new car if you have a trouble-plagued car? The story I heard from a CEO was they allocate cars for direct replacement of their lemons.
 
Thanks for your suggestion.
 
Mine is definitely a lemon and my service records are proof of that.
I will definitely find out if I can get a direct replacement but I wont bank on it. Somebody told me a car can only be replaced if it is not older than two years. That would be unfortunate since my car is 26 months old.

LOL.
 
Well... I am going to go the practical route. I really must have my priorities in the right place at this point in time. There is no room for an "extra" car right now.
 
So... I will sell the Porsche, and the F150 as soon as possible. After that is accomplished, I will sell the BMW 135i that I love so much.
 
That will leave the Jag, the MDX, and the Escape Hybrid... unless my wife convinces me to sell the Jag instead of the BMW, or the MDX instead of the F150. But, no matter what, I'm taking it from six vehicles down to three.
 
After that... ?????

Wow that has to be tough.
 
Oh, God yes. I am humbled by this entire experience.
 
The XJ VP is good enough though that I would be more than satisfied with it as my only vehicle.
 
Thank you... I agree. And that is essentially, the plan. My one car will be the XJ. The wife will have her MDX (or maybe I can convince her to trade it in for the new Prius?), and the daughter will have her Escape Hybrid.
