This goes for me - generally. I have no "budget", just kind of float around. I only started the car expenses (taxes, depreciation & maintenance) sheet after I noticed that I was quickly switching cars and I wanted to have the data on the costs I incurred so I put a lid on impulsivity. Same with motorcycles, though their costs have been nearly negligible next to cars. I don't have a budget or accounting for anything else except tax-related info.

I have a friend that's been working on this for a while, but couldn't say anything until last night. Sounds like he and his team are very proud of what they've created and said to be on the lookout for track times to be published in the future.

The CT4 Blackwing looks like it makes a compelling argument on paper against competitive vehicles. Given my experience with the Camaros, it's hard to imagine that both cars won't be amazing drivers.
And if these are the last combustion powered cars from Cadillac, I would gladly look into these.....(just not as new car purchases)

It's a lot more entertaining than Apple ads and PSAs about vaping, which are seemingly the only ads I see anymore.

I don't understand how vaping made kids miss their high school classes.
