And even if I went for one of the ones that I think I really like... it's like 150% of the cost of my car. My car, when I bought it six and a half years ago, was $40,000 out the door, which is a lot of money, don't get me wrong, but it's affordable. For the person that does the sorts of things that I do, it's affordable.

Whereas to get an approximate equivalent but full electric is like $60,000, $65,000, $70,000. And then you start, if I wanted to go to the Rivians of the world or the Model Ss of the world, now you're talking like $80,000, $90,000, $100,000, $110,000. And that's just... it's too rich for my blood. Now I feel like John all of a sudden where I'm refusing to spend any more money on a car.

Unlike John, I'll buy cars from different makes, but that's neither here nor there. But it's so much money. And so not only do I not want to have my left leg atrophy, but I just don't want to spend that kind of money right now, especially if there's not one car that I can look at and go, that's the one. That's it. I want a QRS TUV from such and such manufacturer. That's the one.

It's the only one for me. And And so because of the combination of those two things, well, and my car is perfectly fine as I sit here today, I don't think it's happening anytime soon. But I'm starting to get the itch.

To further give you fuel for the fire that you're igniting right now, the earlier long trip, the second beach trip that we're taking this coming summer, the one that I'm presenting as this insurmountably far away trip, because it is, in my defense, further away than we have typically traveled by car recently, 320 miles.

And I'm guessing that your BMW could probably either get there on one tank or charge, if you will, or just about, if not all the way.

Yeah. I hear you. I know. We'll see what happens. Again, I don't plan on buying anything soon. But I have maintained since before we started talking about it in overtime last week that I do think my next car for sure will be a full electric. And we'll see with Aaron's. The EX90, I think we talked about this. The EX90 is supposed to be good but not great.

And that is obviously the most analogous to her current car. So we'll see what happens.

Yeah, I mean, because I'm me, I would go for the extremely high-powered one. And if I were to buy one today, I think I would buy an Ioniq 5N or an EV6 GT, which are in many ways the same car and in many ways not. But, I mean, I'm looking at the MSRPs for each of them, and it's $62,000 for the EV6 GT, which is the one I was leaning toward, and $66,000 for the Ioniq 5N, which is a lot of money.

I'm not saying it's unreasonable money. It's just a lot of money. You don't need the 5N.
