Well, hold on.

Let's be honest.

The fanciest car I ever had by most definitions was the exploding BMW, which I'd bought used.

And that was 40 grand.

The Golf.

Right.

The Golf R. I mean, that's stickered for like 65 when it was new or something like that.

That's what I just said.

I paid $40,000, but it's stickered for $65,000.

The Golf R, I also paid $40,000, which was a good deal for the car at the time, and that was brand new.

I mean, these are not, I don't know, $100,000 plus, $1,000 M5s.

Yeah.

it was under 100 anyway uh the point is like yes this is far fancier than any of the things that you've driven on a day-to-day basis i mean it's a similar price to to your volvo though it's not like it's not right oh that's adorable john oh that wasn't that oh dude the volvo was more than that oh my god the volvo sticker this is why we leased it the volvo sticker was like 85 or something don't tell me that just lowering my opinion of this car could almost get an m5 in 2013 for that

Anyway, so yeah, I've been building up the Taycan in my mind for the last six months, thinking this is the thing that I think I want.

Because I think, even though I don't want to give up the third pedal, I think I want an electric car that would give Erin the ability to drive it, because whether or not she is actually capable of driving a stick, she doesn't think she is, which means effectively she's not.

It would be convenient for her to be able to drive it.

It is...

uncomfortably bigger than my car and i say that only because i worry that i don't have the space in the garage to fit it like physically fit it in yeah i was gonna say it's a long car it's a very it's very it's very wide it's longer and wider than your golf but that's for sure no that's the problem the length i have the length i have but the width is the problem because as it is right now you use it casey right i

That's what they tell me.

The width is the problem because I already have to squeeze the golf into the garage.
