Commuter Car?

[isis]

Compared to a Superbike, yes…

Well yeah. It’s half the power and 500 lbs. I don’t ride hard enough for those anymore. I sold my z1000 to buy my Monkey. Never actually owned a Supersport.

Had a commuter years back while the raptor sat in the yard or the wife drove it. Sold the commuter and bought a second raptor and never looked back.
What are you saving the raptor for, the next owner? Yeah, 98% of my miles are highway, but that's where I put my miles on. Not gonna spend my time driving some shitbox daily while my raptor sits unused.
If you wanna leave the raptor in the garage and admire it as you head out to commute to work in a shitbox, buy a picture of it and hang it on the wall. Much cheaper. I love my truck for commuting and everything else. Enjoy it, you spent alot of hard earned money on it.

Yeah, no reason to spend $$ to recoup 5-10k when you trade in the Rap. It won't pencil out.

I too have the car disease. We recently bought my wife a Mach-E as the run-about and DD. So far we're really loving it.

It's definitely dependent on your house/solar/wiring if you can support an EV but for us, we're basically driving it around for free because we already produce more solar energy than our home consumes.

Looking nation wide, there's a few lightly used Mach-Es in the mid 20's which means someone else already ate the depreciation. They're really nice vehicles to be comfy in and pile miles on without worrying about maintenance or sitting in a penalty box.

That’s pretty interesting tbh…
