I bought a bunch of stock in that company when it dipped. It kept dipping and I'm down 50%. Still kicking myself over that one, I don't even like their cars.
What vehicle do you drive?

If you're towing a trailer, it used to be (but not always now) the highest rating is with the RWD variant. It's also cheaper and less stuff that can break. I get it if you're in a warmer climate and not planning on doing any offroading. I leave my truck in 2WD for most of the year and usually only bust it out on really snowy days. Helps to know how to drive in low traction too - the amount of lifted 4wd trucks I've seen in a ditch in the south when they get a flukey inch of snow is amazing.

I ordered a set of AST adjustable springs and some spacers(18mm back / 15mm front), which cleans up the fitment on the wheels really nice on the M2. I'll probably do these myself, as it's a pretty simple install, though I'll have to get an alignment somewhere as I don't know shit about alignments and doubt I have the tools to reliably do it. Set aside another couple grand for the ECU unlock / tuning software and that'll be that. Now I just gotta wait...and wait...
Here's a pic of some dude on another forum M2 after AST springs and spacers(i think this was 17mm back, though).

Usually DIY but right now it's 80f by 8am, so between time and awful sun and not wanting to hose it down in my shop, got my first detailing. Found a few mistakes or oversights, but guess not awful for the price.
Yes this is the detailers place, rural bumkin country for ya

I think the Elantra N is the best performance bargain for the price on the market.

One thing that is nice about Belgium is living close to the german autobahn.
My car is limited at 250km/h and it is quite easy to do that during low traffic hours.
Anyone that watches AutotopNL on youtube knows how it is I guess.
The US should consider this. Darwin would approve.

Have you looked at Tesla's?
On local market there are a ton, a lot with very high mileage and warrantee (so they seem reliable/worth fixing), and a good bunch with very low miles that have had their depreciation.

I've enjoyed his videos for years. Its cool to see that perspective of things. And, he's well spoken and informative as well.

Always love the videos that exaggerate what actually is. The control arms are not made up of just plastic.
Hey Google "Are the Control Arms of a new Dodge Ram 1500 made up of only plastic"?
No, the Ram 1500's upper control arms are not entirely plastic. They utilize a composite material with a steel structure inside, encased in a plastic-like shell. This design, which has been in use since 2019, combines the lightweight properties of composites with the strength of steel
