So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Misnomer

Over the weekend I traded in my 40th AE Z. I bought it used in 2013 with only 16,000 miles on it, and loved it deeply until last summer when I started having to take it to the shop every other month (seemingly) for pricey work -- nearly $9,000 in repairs since May, despite having less than 70,000 miles. I'd planned to drive it until it wouldn't go anymore, but last fall I decided I'd rather sell it while it was still running/had some value. The repeated wallet hits helped convince me that it was time. By Saturday I was ready to let it go, but still couldn't help but feel a little sad when I drove it for the last time.

Anyway, I didn't post here often, but this forum has been an invaluable source of info for the past six years. So, thanks to everyone.

Oh yeah: I got a 2020 BMW M240i. RWD, MT, with all of the features I wanted. And I got more for the Z in trade than I expected, which was very awesome.

Now I just have to find a BMW forum as useful as this one...
