Such a classic Merc, and one you don’t see often here in the northeast.

I meant to comment on this one and am just getting there. I had this color on my TR7 drophead (convertible), and it was a wonderful color for that car.

I like the M for flexibility, for example, using some of my old lenses on it. I take the Q when I'd like the ability to put it into auto to take shots on vacation. I'm not sure where the value proposition lies with the new camera; more reading is needed.

I had the 90-day trial when I got the Mach-E, but I wasn't a fan. I didn't subscribe.

It's a special, only for 3 months. See the fine print in the Ford app.

This is the new M with an EVF? Owning a Q and an M (262), I'll be interested in seeing it.

Mein Deutsch ist schlecht, aber selbst ich kenne den Unterschied zwischen Kampf und Kopf.

Oui, c'est vrai, la recherche Google est un désastre horrible. I don’t know the French idiom, in English it seems like it’s all “pay to play” now.

I'm fairly nearsighted. My regular glasses work well with the waist-level finders. Most viewfinders are OK without my glasses, but the best is the Leica Q, which has a little dial for making diopter adjustments. Back screen mostly glasses off.

Same here in NH.

I don't like them for anything. I have a separate pair of glasses for working on the computer. I'm fortunate that I can see well through the viewfinder of most of my cameras without glasses.

I love the mulberry. My dealer loves selecting blond seating; my CPO S60 has it. (They also like black and white cars, which I do not have.)

It does trigger my car interior cleanliness thing a bit, but it's held up well. My dealer also wants me to trade the S60 for an XC60, but I don't need an SUV.

We have three different makes of cars in our household: Ford, Subaru, and Volvo. I like the fact I can plug an iPhone or an Android phone into each one, all with different screen sizes, and everything works. I have all my stuff in the order I want it. It even works in rentals! No more GMs for me.

Does anyone have opinions on Land Rover Discovery models, particularly the latest version from 2018 on?

It might be a brand name, I'm not sure. They also look similar to CO2 cartridges.

I bought and sold a lot of Tesla options during the pandemic, but I haven't touched the company since.

LOL. They are tiny nitrous oxide bottles used by restaurants, etc., for whipping cream.

I love all the Volvo coupes, but I’ve never seen a 780 coupe in person. I’ve see a fair number of 262C models though.

Got the year nailed down but failed. I didn’t realize those were so… blah? at that time.

How does it feel to be a tool of puppet-master Xi? 😂

I did own a C40 for a bit and have a Sensus-based S60. Both could control many of the functions via voice control. I hope they add more voice control functions to the ES90, though I'd prefer buttons instead of using the screen.

As a Volvo owner, I would consider this for my next car if it doesn't have the software issues the EX90 has had. I also prefer a sedan-like vehicle vs. an SUV. Whether it comes to the States or not, we'll see.

Boom. I had a friend who owned the same color one.
