I see you've stopped your collection with the last good Opel. Nice.

Exactly - well, maybe I could add Astra J OPC and Insignia A OPC as last good Opels, but it's really sad what happend with this brand nowadays :cry:

And to majority of modern cars in EU.

Not sure about OPC, I don't know them that well (except for V6 timing chain stretch and leaking head gaskets).

I can tell you that PSA is actively trying to kill Opel.

Too many brands and too many executives with golden parachutes managing them makes they had to cut somewhere to keep their life level. :roll:

I drive and own a 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium with a 2.0L Ecoboost Turbo 4 Cylinder Engine, It's quite zippy and fun, pretty loaded too, I will eventually post more photos of it.

Originally started it's life out as a Rental Car in Atlanta, Georgia before eventually being sold in Tennessee in 2016 and moved to the Tampa area where I bought it in 2021 at 92K miles.

This photo was taken right after my wheels were color coated.

My car's dash is shown here, I get average 24 MPG, which is quite good for a Turbo 4 cylinder.

Other than that, I have driven a 2012 Ford Focus, a 2012 Ford Taurus, a 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe, a 2017 Jeep Wrangler, a 2013 Dodge Journey and a 2019 Ford Fusion Hybrid, but I didn't own those cars and drove them either once or a few times.

I drive a 2016 Subaru Outback. 2.5L engine.

First car I ever bought myself and I love it! My dad has managed a BMW dealership as long as I've been driving so I would get leases every few years on wildly great deals but when I moved out to Washington I wanted to actually own my car and not worry about replacing it ever couple years. It's definitely slower than the 330e I used to have was, and a bit too long for city parking sometimes, but that's really my only issues.

It does great getting me where I need to go, sometimes that up into the mountains in the snow, sometimes with my very wet dog, and it did great hauling all my worldly possessions to Seattle hahaha. Had to cross Stevens Pass, US 2 through the Cascade Mountains, in mid-December when the mountains were getting hammered by a storm and it tackled the curves and elevation so well! And they're everywhere out here, so it'll be easy to resell when the time comes. Truly, if it wasn't for all my Michigan paraphernalia on the back, I'd probably lose it in parking lots hahaha. Once I can though, I'll probably say goodbye and move back into a BMW. It'll be a while before I get there, though.

Here's a picture I took a few months ago coming off the train from school. Really, these Outbacks are everywhere in the PNW. Mine's the green one on the far left.
