I've recently started a new job - one which frees up some funds for a few goals I've had for a while. Some of these things are small in size... the 5D mkII for example. (And packing up my Leicas will indeed be a sad day. Its funny... 35+ years old and they are still kicking. How many digitals will survive that long?)But as of late I've been getting sick of my car. I've always preferred odd foreign cars. My history off tweaking the crap out of Saabs in fact suggests that *I* am odd. But I somehow thought this Subaru I drive now would be a good choice for me. All-wheel drive, predicted reliability, etc. My wife also drives a Subaru. In fact they are both Foresters. And for disclosure our phones match our cars. That was an accident. But I think says something. About something.Both cars blew headgaskets within one week of each other. Its a common issue with that motor. Oh and the rear wheel bearings. Boy that's a great design. It will go down in history as one of the worst ideas ever. Let's have an unsealed bearing back there. Great, guys. Well it is time to upgrade. And for some time now I've wanted something rear wheel drive. Something more toward the luxury side of the spectrum. Thus far the best-riding car I've ever had is a 1986 Saab 900. Those guys knew what to do with a suspension. Magical, for a front-drive vehicle. And *odd*. These Foresters ride no better than a bottom of the barrel J-platform car (Cavalier, Sunfire, etc). Its bothersome. And in all honesty my car that could hit 146mph AND get 32mpg should be the benchmark. This 23mpg and sloooooowwwwnesssss.. has to go.I'm done with Japanese cars. Done. They don't suit me. So what are my options? Rear drive, at least somewhat luxurious.And so I'm left with one car on my list after checking others off for various reasons.Lincoln LS. Me? A Lincoln? Are you kidding? Nope. I'm buying an American, RWD luxury sedan.
