How do you like it? Good commuter car?

It's more for something fun to drive. I think there are probably much better cars for commuting, but I'm retired, so that's not an issue.
No, it's not Tourettes.

Saw this one on a Winery in Spain, used to take visitors to the grape fields. So cool.

Plus drove this on that trip (winery visits). This Peugeot was manual with a small diesel engine... Very cool to drive albeit being a "work" vehicle.

Another Peugeot I drove, nice commuter, like a small Lexus or RDX. I really liked it.

It was 10° one morning last week and I didn’t see anyone in a fashion scarf Image

And when we go out in the snow it’s snow pants, boots, hat and gloves. Fashion scarf stays in the back of the closet Image

I always see a bunch of people wearing them :shrug: but alas, I'm probably the least qualified person in this forum to talk about winter clothing.

I don't know about scarves, but I always wear an ascot to my weekly caviar and pinochle dinners.

(Actually, I wear a scarf all the time. It's a necessity for cold weather NYC commutes)

Not a fashion scarf guy, but I will say that the fleece scarf is one of the greatest inventions ever for when the weather gets cold. Silk scarves aren't warm, and wool scarves scratch my delicate skin. Fleece scarves are wonderful - make me feel 10 degrees warmer.

I never wear a scarf, unless I’m wearing a suit and top coat. If I’m wearing technical outerwear it’s totally unneeded.

Something I'll need to consider if I keep talking vacations in cold places (which my wife like). Our clothes for this trip were mostly from Gap, Banana and Zara.... nothing technical as I cant find that stuff locally nor I know what to buy depending on the weather.

But enough of this, lets get back to cars.

Putting this for sale soon (currently has 186k miles, only major repairs are transmission, power steering pump and rack steering rack)

So I can get something like this in early 2020:

The itch to get an STI, GTI or used E46 or E90 M3 is there, but due to the family hobbies, this makes more sense first.
