Hi all - making my first car purchase and would love to hear your opinion. Thoughts on buying a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Limited ($32k, 26k miles) vs 2019 Honda HRV EX ($24k, 30k miles)

Long term, what does maintenance look on either of these? What will last longer? ty!

A few months ago I took a job selling internet service. Primarily, I work in the field, where I can make all my sales, but I have been kinda dipping a toe into reaching out to property managers via email. So, i have been trying to write a BASHO email template and I am hitting a wall. It’s hard to personalize it as a lot of the people I reach out to have no social media or are super hard to find. Basically what I have is Intro->benefit statement(one sentence)->CTA. Any advice?

Looking for ideas for fun summer weekend toy car. Wife & I have daily drivers and we live up north where number of warm days is small. Looking for ideas something cheap (sub $25K) but fun on country roads when I don't have weekend kids car pool duty.

Everyone is getting 987 Boxsters or Miatas. I like those but prefer something more unusual or different. Thought about TVR 280 but maintenance in US can be tough. Thought Vanderhall but want "real car" with 3 pedals.

Any interesting ideas?

I ordered a Tesla model 3 SR in April and I am able to take delivery this weekend, however I’m now unsure of whether it’s the right move financially. I have a lease on a 2020 BMW X3 that will end next month and was wondering if I should just buy that out and drive it for a few years. If it makes a difference I’m in SoCal so gas is $$$, but no EV charging in my apartment.

Tesla: $830/month + charging and insurance
BMW: $600/m + $150 gas + maint/insurance

Any thoughts? Is the Tesla worth it?
