Bought a used 2015 GMC Sierra SLT about a month and a half ago. Had about 4800 miles. Nice ride. Nice to have a truck, too.

I bought a house and a child (with the amount of out of pocket expenses we incurred for the birth of our son, it feels like we bought him from the hospital). Those are expensive enough!
Lol, my insurance got the quarter of a million bill, I paid max out of pocket of $5.5K. But yeah, between the house, redid the floors, furnish the entire house, all new appliances, kid, etc... plus the car I bought last year, I can't buy another one just yet.

i put down a deposit on a 991.2 GT3 over a year ago and hope to get it next year

I can't wait until you do so I can drool over it. Did they sort the engines issues out on those yet? It's been a while since I've read anything about them.

Oh, I also bought my kid a Mazda 3. We have only had it for 4 or 5 months, but I cannot recommend it enough to people shopping in that range. Thanks for the help here in narrowing down the selection.

Some interesting purchases. I love buying new things, especially when it's a car.

2013 CPO Caddy ATS 2.0 Turbo. Glad I made the leap to a proper RWD sport/near luxury sedan.

2015 Elantra with 11k on it for the Mrs. Good price at $12,000. It's boring but decent.

We bought a 2014 Malibu LTZ2 that was completely optioned out for my girlfriend. I like the 2.0 turbo, but it's a good thing it's not my car to drive. It's really comfy for the passenger, though, so it's still all good.

Looking at two used Cayman S's tomorrow, but I doubt I'll have the balls to actually buy one. Mostly just want to drive one while searching for the perfect one and saving up.

Every year the Camry gets a $500-600 "refresh"...
.....this year: Video/Radio/Bluetooth/Rear Camera unit brings it nicely into the 21st century....refreshes the car for another 5 years. The Pioneer camera is very nice at night, and the mic is very high sound quality.

Got a second Model S a couple of months ago. Too ashamed to admit it, since I keep reading about how terrible they are.

Nah man, the Model X is the one with the problems

How are you liking them? I keep telling myself I'm holding out for a model with a 500-mile range

I'd like to get out of my glitchy Renegade, but I'll have to pay through the nose to do it. Been looking at some used late-model Explorers. A bit bigger, but boy does the price drop if they're even a little bit used! Would really like a 2nd-gen Ridgeline, but there's no way I'll ever buy a first-gen car again (Jeep already bit me there!). Plus I really want TACC with LSF, hopefully that will show up in next year's Honda update...

I actually had a pretty early reservation for the model x that I cancelled once they did the roadshow. Pretty happy I did.

Honestly, I love 'em both. I came from an i3, so the range isn't an issue at all for me. I have only tried supercharging once for a long trip. Subsequent trips I took a different car. For me it really isn't an issue, even when my daily driver was an ICE I would rent a car to drive long distance.

They have issues. My wife's car has a rattle from the front right of the dash that is annoying, but not annoying enough to take a trip to the service center. My car had some minor problems at delivery. I don't have appleplay, the blind spot detection is non existent, and I don't have ventilated seats. With all the cameras there is no reason not to have a 360 view.

All in all though, as I have said it here before, when it came time to turn in the i3 basically any car available was an option. I went and looked at a few, but after driving my wife's car for a few weeks there really was no doubt that I would be getting a model S.
