Rejoining the Cult
A couple weeks ago I placed an order for a 2022 F-Type.
I had leased a 2014 when they first came out (see my sig for details) and joined up here. We weren't using it as much at the end of the lease as we were at the beginning, so we decided not to buy it at the end of the lease.
We went a summer without a convertible and got the itch again. I bought a 3 year old CPO MB SL400 with 5,000 miles on the clock. Built like a tank and the operation of the top is a thing of beauty. But, it was kind of ..... boring. A nice cruiser I guess, but most times we were in it we remarked about how we missed the growl of the F-Type and the exterior styling as well.
I convinced the better half that we should get rid of the MB and get an F-Type specced exactly the way we (er.. I mean I) wanted. Ain't getting any younger, and the MB will never be worth more than it it is right now. So that's how I convinced myself.
I placed my order a couple weeks ago!

I don't get why there aren't more green cars in general out there. I had two Audis that were green and loved the look as long as I had them. I guess silver and black and white and red are just safer for dealers to buy.

In the UK green cars are considered unlucky - more prone to be involved in accidents, etc. I've never seen any evidence to back this up, and have occasionally got some very good deals on green cars that have been stuck in stock for a year.
