Oh! I just realized you also own the X3. So we are from the same club. Niceee!
Man, I reckon you drive the B48 (30i). It’s a beautiful machine and so smooth and relaxing to drive. That FE (40mpg) is insane.
Mine is the performance one and it’s difficult to go above 26mpg during long drives. City mostly it’s 21mpg which is nothing short of amazing considering how powerful the engine is.
But, when I rent cars, I steer away from the ones that I own as I love to experiment and obviously, it gives me a satisfaction when I get back home that my car choices aren’t bad. Lol! Quote:

I get booked pretty quickly. So book me in advance. (No pun intended). Quote:

I am pleased to say that 5 years ago, I stayed in the same Hotel Venetian as you. I still remember the overpriced Indian food at the hotel. The Dodge Challenger is my favorite mopar muscle car of all time.
We mainly stayed in Vegas as we wanted to visit Death Valley and the Grand Canyon along with Hoover Dam. Las Vegas for a 11 year old was definitely not good, but enjoy the city.
We rented a Jeep Wrangler(which my dad found cumbersome to drive), and then traded it back in for a Nissan Versa for the Grand Canyon trip. |
Wow, you are all of 16 and you have experienced the “Sin City” already. Kudos to you and your family.
Mine too. Favorite MOPAR car for me is still the Challenger. Those looks are unbeatable in the muscle car world. But, I do love the Shelby’s too.
Nice to know about your visit. Quote:

Super Ashwin. Looks like our trips overlapped a bit.
What? That Urus was with AK plates? Dammit. I never noticed as I have an eye for such detail. I reckon, I am getting old.
Let’s catch up in Seattle, would love to see the TRANSAM.
I am sure it will look every bit a legendary supercar when it’s shooting down the US 101 and PCH1. |
