My daily duties are split between my '19 Honda Monkey and my '14 Focus. I will refrain from photos of the Ford so as not to make you guys too envious 😂

That monkey is so cool!! I have a 250 Yamaha, but in South Florida riding a bike is too dangerous, so it never really leave the community. My good friend and neighbor but a 1299 P and 5k into mods into it, first time he took it out on the street was the last... it now sits in his living room as a piece of art and sometimes cruises with me in the community making a whole lot of noise with the Akra exhaust. Everyone here has some awesome daily's. I'm so glad I started this thread!

Nice boat. About 100-150 gallons an hour at full throttle?

I'm vacillating between BRG and Santorini Black at this point but keep looking at this combo and with the tan leather interior:

Sweet engine bay. Must sound even better than an F-Type getting up on plane.

Wait. Which is the daily driver? Do you commute on the boat, or the truck? Or do you need both?

I bought the F-Type as the daily driver. I always planned to migrate to a WFH situation. Covid just accelerated that. That is fine by me. Commute in an F-Type is a bit sad, the few weeks I did it.

Worked on cleaning out the beast. Work van. Promaster. Sees 10x the use of the F-Type. It is really an easy vehicle to get around in and never have to stress the things - curb scrapes, unwanted attn, etc, you get with a bright red sports car. The Covid mask in the front gets a lot of laughs (or concerns from wimpy types) at intersections.

Don't do it unless you have tons of disposable income. The old saying that a boat is just a big hole in the water where you throw a lot of money is 100% true. Like a money vacuum. Renting a nice boat for $500/day with no grief and worries is a lot easier.

I lived on a houseboat for six years and a boat then made a lot of sense, was right there all the time.

True and wise words. Certainly not the best financial road to travel, but for me it was completion of a life long obsession.
Some of you guys will remember the old master card commercial “ cost of bla,bla = $$$, cost of bla,bla = $$$$, a perfect day on the water = priceless”.

The 3F rule: If it flies, floats or f***s, it's cheaper to lease.

Hahaha. Don't worry. I won't be getting a boat near that size and if so it would be a split deal with my buddy. Either way, not for a long time.
