The Rolls-Royce brand is synonymous with luxury and prestige in the automotive world. The British car manufacturer produces some of the most exclusive and expensive vehicles available today. If you have asked the question "What is the cost of Rolls-Royce?", then you understand these hand-crafted machines don't come cheap. Rolls-Royce operates at the very pinnacle of the luxury car market. The high price reflects the extreme attention to detail, bespoke craftsmanship and potent performance packaged into every Rolls-Royce model. These opulent autos appeal to the world's most affluent consumers and elite collectors. But exactly how much does this level of luxury cost? Let's examine Rolls-Royce pricing across their current model range and what factors make them so pricey. Overview of Rolls-Royce Model Lineup Rolls-Royce currently produces three core vehicle models: Phantom - Flagship sedan that serves as the marque of luxury Ghost - Mid-size luxury sedan combining elegance and driver focus Cullinan - Large luxury SUV named after the world's largest diamond Dawn - Luxurious four-seat convertible coupe Wraith - Grand tourer coupe blending power and refinement Models like the Phantom and Ghost are available in extended wheelbase versions offering even more rear passenger space and opulence. The Dawn convertible was introduced in 2016 as Rolls-Royce entered the premium drophead segment. Bespoke customized versions of any model can also be commissioned. This core lineup comprises Rolls-Royce's new vehicle offerings with pricing starting around $300,000 and rapidly escalating from there. In addition, the brand provides servicing, repairs and restoration for vintage Rolls-Royce models through its Provenance program. Let's take a deeper look at pricing and positioning for each current production car. Rolls-Royce Phantom Overview and Pricing Rolls-Royce Phantom The Phantom is nothing less than an icon, serving as Rolls-Royce's flagship model for nearly a century since its 1925 debut. Now in its eighth generation, the Phantom represents the very best of Rolls-Royce design, engineering and craftsmanship. Pricing for the latest Rolls-Royce Phantom ranges between $455,000 to over $600,000 MSRP. Key attributes of the Phantom include: Distinctive, imposing design and iconic Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament Hand-built V12 engine with 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft torque Smooth, hushed ride using air suspension and sound insulation Bespoke interior materials and details, rear Theater Configuration seating Advanced tech including night vision and alertness assistant Approximately 11 mpg city / 19 mpg highway fuel economy The Phantom is all about providing the pinnacle of luxury to the four occupants inside its spacious cabin. With abundant power on tap, it wafts along effortlessly thanks to its air suspension and rear-wheel steering. The Phantom comes close to offering a private jet experience on the road. An extended wheelbase version of the Phantom is also available starting around $498,000. The extended model adds 290mm of rear legroom for even more comfort and space. Virtually every Phantom is customized to the owner's preferences through the Rolls-Royce Bespoke program. Rolls-Royce Ghost Overview and Pricing Rolls-Royce Ghost Slotting in below the Phantom flagship, the mid-sized Rolls-Royce Ghost debuted in 2009. It serves as the entry point to the Rolls-Royce experience with slightly less opulence but more driver-focused handling. The latest generation Rolls-Royce Ghost has a base MSRP of $332,500 in the United States. Key Ghost features include: Distinctive yet less imposing "post-opulent" design 6.75L twin-turbo V12 producing 591 horsepower, 627 lb-ft torque Four-wheel steering and all-wheel drive enhances handling Luxurious interior with fine leather and wood veneers Advanced sound insulation for trademar

k Rolls-Royce serenity Approximately 12 mpg city / 20 mpg hwy fuel economy The Ghost brings a more modest, minimal Rolls-Royce elegance blended with stronger driving dynamics catering to owners who are likely to spend more time behind the wheel themselves. An extended wheelbase Ghost is also available for added rear seat room. Rolls-Royce Cullinan Overview and Pricing Rolls-Royce Cullinan The Cullinan SUV launched in 2018 as Rolls-Royce's first entry into the ultra-premium SUV segment. It combines luxury with an all-terrain capable package. Base pricing for the Cullinan starts at $335,000, making it the least expensive current Rolls-Royce model. Key details on the Cullinan include: Commanding SUV silhouette with signature Rolls-Royce styling All-wheel drive and adjustable air suspension enables off-road use 6.75L twin-turbo V12 putting out 563 hp and 627 lb-ft torque Opulent interior appointments with multiple display screens approximately 12 mpg city / 20 mpg hwy fuel economy Towing capacity up to about 7,700 lbs The Cullinan delivers Rolls-Royce luxury in a go-anywhere capable SUV form factor. It engages driving enthusiasts as a Rolls-Royce that can keep up with their active lifestyle pursuits. Rolls-Royce Dawn Overview and Pricing Rolls-Royce Dawn Representing Rolls-Royce's first convertible in decades, the sumptuous Dawn debuted in 2016 at a starting price of $346,300. The four-seat Dawn convertible coupe highlights include: Elegant soft-top convertible styling with rear-hinged coach doors 6.6L twin-turbo V12 generating 563 horsepower and 575 lb-ft torque ZF 8-speed automatic transmission Comfortable heated/cooled seats with premium leather Approximately 12 mpg city / 20 mpg hwy fuel economy Sophisticated suspension for smooth cruising top down or up The Dawn brings four-seat open top motoring to the Rolls-Royce brand in a beautifully styled personal luxury convertible - an indulgent Grand Tourer for taking in the world's finest scenery. Rolls-Royce Wraith Overview and Pricing Rolls-Royce Wraith Representing the most driver-focused motor car from Rolls-Royce, the Wraith coupe blends power and speed with trademark luxury starting at a base MSRP of $372,000 in 2023. Key performance attributes of the Wraith include: Aggressive fastback coupe styling with iconic Spirit of Ecstasy 6.6L twin-turbo V12 producing 624 horsepower and 590 lb-ft torque 8-speed ZF automatic transmission 0-60 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds Top speed electronically limited to 155 mph Approximately 13 mpg city / 21 mpg highway The two-door Wraith provides a uniquely menacing Rolls-Royce form that has appeal for collectors and enthusiasts who want a more exciting, engaging driving experience from the storied Rolls-Royce brand. What Factors Impact the Cost of a Rolls-Royce? The base MSRP prices quoted only scratch the surface of what most Rolls-Royces end up costing. There are numerous factors that quickly drive up the price from the starting point: Bespoke customization - Virtually every Rolls-Royce gets customized via the brand's Bespoke program with unique color schemes, materials, interior details, and more. This can easily add six figures to the price. Options - Additional options like extended leather, premium audio, 21" wheels, head-up display, and rear entertainment packages add up quickly. Taxes - Sales tax, luxury taxes, gas guzzler taxes, etc. tack on additional fees that vary by state. Total tax can range from 8-10% on top of the vehicle price. Dealer markup - Given high demand and short supply, most dealers tack on premiums above MSRP that can add tens of thousands. It is not uncommon for a Bespoke customized Rolls-Royce with options and taxes to carry an on-road price approaching or exceeding $500,000 - even when starting with a base model in the $300,000 range. The sky is really the lim

it when it comes to equipping a Rolls-Royce. How Rolls-Royce Prices Compare to Top Luxury Competitors To put Rolls-Royce pricing in perspective, here is how they compare against other high-end luxury vehicles: ModelBase MSRPBentley Bentayga$177,000Lamborghini Urus$230,000Porsche 911 Turbo S$205,000Ferrari Roma$222,000Mercedes S-Class$110,000BMW 7 Series$93,000Audi A8$88,000 Rolls-Royce competes among the elite tier of luxury automakers like Bentley and Lamborghini. However, the intense customization and premium detailing elevate Rolls-Royce pricing to start where many competitors top out. The brand caters to a rarified ultra-wealthy clientele in a league of its own. FAQs What is the most expensive Rolls-Royce model? The Phantom is Rolls-Royce's flagship model and most expensive vehicle in the standard model range with MSRP starting around $455,000. However, the bespoke customization process enables essentially any Rolls-Royce to run well over $1 million with enough personalization. Why are Rolls-Royces so much more expensive than other luxury cars? Rolls-Royce spares no expense with absurd attention to detail, artful hand craftsmanship, and exotic interior materials found in no other vehicles. Each model is essentially customized to a client's wishes. The small production volumes also increase costs. Which celebrities own Rolls-Royce cars? Rolls-Royce has many famous owners including business moguls, royal families, politicians, musicians and athletes such as Jay Z, Post Malone, Drake, Tom Brady, Elvis Presley, Queen Elizabeth II and more. The brand has a long list of high-profile collectors. What is the most affordable Rolls-Royce? The "entry-level" Ghost typically carries the lowest starting MSRP at around $332,500. However, most Rolls-Royce models ultimately sell for well over $500,000 after options, taxes, and dealer markups are added to the initial price. How much would it cost to customize a Rolls-Royce Phantom? Rolls-Royce Bespoke customization options for a Phantom are virtually endless. Typical amounts spent on customizing interior details, paint colors, upholstery, wheels, wood veneers, etc. range from $150,000 up to $500,000+ for uniquely extravagant requests. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

John’s Bike: 2015 Zero SR

On Monday April 4, Gopher the Smart Car was delivered to me. On Wednesday April 6, I’d drive my husband in our electric car to buy his first electric vehicle: a 2015 Zero SR. I had no idea this bike would put me back in the seat after a crash I’d had 20 years previous.

Service Stats

In Service Date: 4/6/2016 In Service Mileage: 250 Out of Service Date: 9/23/2017 Out of Service Mileage: 5005 Service Life: 17 months, 4,755 miles

The History & Story

I was not always a motorcyclist. In fact when I met my husband I was very much against them, because I’d already flipped one and felt they were too dangerous. I had no idea that cleaning up the garage one day would change my opinion on motorcycles. While cleaning out the garage at his old townhouse, I came across a sealed turn signal lens cover that was too small for a car. I asked what this went to, and my husband stopped and dropped the box he was holding. He stared at the package I was holding between my fingers and took it from me never breaking eye contact with it. He then tells me this was the turn signal lens for Craig’s motorcycle. Ok, so, who is Craig?

Turns out Craig was one of his best friends in college. Craig died in a motorcycle accident. The day before Craig died, he and my husband skipped classes and hung out all day. The next day he was in the hospital after being struck by a vehicle. I’ll be honest I don’t know all the details, I do know that Craig was buried in Austin, TX and that my husband has a story about his funeral and the rental Mazda Miata he got from Enterprise to attend it.

So, great, I unearthed this rather sad memory. After I’m told this story my husband says that Craig had always said he’d teach him how to ride a motorcycle. I told him how I felt about that, but I could tell this wasn’t the last I’d hear about Craig and motorcycles. Not quite a year later, John shows me the website for Zero motorcycles and says he wants one of them to commute with. I was very, very much against it. However, over time, I caved in... happy spouse, happy life or some such saying. But we didn’t go straight for the Zero...

My husband started with a Sachs MadASS - think if Vespa and Ducati had a lovechild. It was a moped, but it looked like a motorcycle. I picked it up in Nashville, TN bringing back my dad’s old F150 and his 1986 VW Golf diesel to sell off for him. I forgot how long he rode that thing, but the next bike was a BMW 650CS, the short-lived City Sport commuter bike. I know he had this bike for a couple of years, and he was annoyed with it because he never took it on the highway (he had no reason to) and it didn’t like being used as a slow speed commuter. Often it would stall out going through intersections unless a friend of ours ran it on the highway once a month for us.

Fast forward to acquiring Gopher and saying goodbye to VW diesels. John had made friends with the sales guy at the local powersports dealer that sells Zeros, and that guy let him know they had a demo unit coming up for sale at a discount. Since I’d gone electric, it was only fitting that he did too. So we sold the BMW to someone from Maine who flew down and rode it back home and we hopped in the electric car to go buy an electric motorcycle.

I wish I could say that this bike was the end all be all, but it was really a headache from the start. We had numerous issues with the on board charger, the DC-DC converter, and I believe the main bike board failed on it at one point in time. There was a solid 4 months where we were riding the demo DSR instead of our SR because it was waiting on Zero to fix it. But more on that later.

During our time with it, both the powersports sales manager and my husband egged me on to ride it. I finally caved in because I felt it was like having a manual: you should be able to at least move it around your property. So I slowly started to learn to ride a two wheel vehicle again.

Fast forward to the EV Challenge the following year (2017). This event happened on the same day as “Tour de Brew,” a bicycle-based brewery tour that my husband was dying to attend. Because we had three vehicles to show (the BMW, the Smart, and the Zero motorcycle), we dropped the BMW off the night before with my husband’s bicycle stored in the back of it. The next morning I drove the Smart and he rode the Zero to the show grounds. In his haste to get to the starting line of the tour, he picked up the wrong Plug-in NC tote bag that had all the car keys in it instead of his bag with his wallet and gloves. I didn’t realize this until the end of the day, when it was time to pack up and leave.

I called him and he says he’s not far from campus -- over at a place off Lake Wheeler Rd, and that he thinks he left the key to the bike in its ignition. Sure enough, it was there. He said to just hop on it and ride over to pick up the car keys. I said no, I’m in toe shoes and shorts and I don’t know that your helmet will fit. He said well you can ride over here or you can wait two more hours for this to be over. I decided to see if his helmet would fit.

I hopped on the bike and said a small prayer, turned the key and twisted the throttle. Away I went -- I only needed to go 2 miles to get the keys. No big deal. I got there, got the keys, and then took a 10-mile detour to get back to the cars. Turns out, I really liked how the Zero rode.

I loved it so much, I rode it home and promptly laid it down in my driveway, gently. There wasn’t much damage...

After this we started trading off on Tuesdays. I’d take the bike to work, he’d take my car to work and then his run club event afterwards. We did this for a short time before he decided that commuting with a motorcycle was stupid, and he wanted a convertible smart car instead. I started riding the bike on Tuesdays, and Sundays, and before long I was ready to try and do a long ride with it.

In 2017, Lidl opened their first store in Sanford, North Caroilina. I decided that I wanted to ride the Zero there -- it was 40 miles -- then ride it to my friend’s house in Durham. I remember I used my Pebble smart watch to assist with the turn by turn directions, and I was terrified on the few stretches of 55mph roads I had to be on. However I managed to make it to the Lidl, pick up some mixers, and head to my friend’s home in Durham unscathed.

But sadly, the battery management on these early units was really problematic. A few weeks after this successful long ride, I had attended a meeting in Burlington with the Triad Auto Association on the Zero. On my way back home I was going to again stop at my friend’s home in Durham (this was my weekend thing for many years), and as I was 2 miles from his house the battery went from 7% to 0% and stranded me in Durham.

I managed to push the bike up into someone’s yard as the road I died on had no shoulder or sidewalk. The owner was super nice and he ran an extension cord out for me to let the bike charge -- thankfully it did. I called my husband who had went to get a small trailer so we could tow the bike, but by the time he got the rig there it was charged up enough to make it to our friend’s house. I rode it over there and plugged it in, and we left it overnight and picked it back up on Sunday. It was around this time that we began to really engage Zero with all the problems on the bike, and ultimate they ended up taking this bike back. That’s when I bought my 2017, which thankfully, was a problem-free machine...except for the overheating due to its non-cooled battery design.

The Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight two-passenger roadster sports car manufactured and marketed by Mazda with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The convertible is marketed as the Mazda Roadster (マツダ・ロードスター, Matsuda Rōdosutā) or Eunos Roadster (ユーノス・ロードスター, Yūnosu Rōdosutā) in Japan, and as the Mazda MX-5 Miata (/miˈɑːtə/) in North America, where it is widely known as the Miata.

Manufactured at Mazda's Hiroshima plant, the MX-5 debuted in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show and was conceived and executed under a tightly focused design credo, Jinba ittai (人馬一体), meaning "oneness of horse and rider". Widely noted for its small, light, technologically modern, dynamically balanced and minimally complex design, the MX-5 has frequently been called a spiritual successor to 1950s and '60s Italian and British roadster sports cars. The Lotus Elan was used as a design benchmark.

Generations were internally designated with a two-letter code, beginning with the first generation, the NA. The second generation, (NB), launched in 1998 for MY 1999; followed by the third generation (NC) in 2005 for MY 2006, and the fourth generation (ND) in 2015 for MY 2016 (along with "ND2" being the designation for MY 2019).

As the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history,[1] the MX-5 has been marketed globally, with production exceeding one million, as of early 2016.[2] The name miata derives from Old High German for "reward".[3][N 1]

Pennsylvania’s first female Muslim state rep charged with stealing from nonprofit founded to serve mentally ill and poor

Democrat Movita Johnson-Harrell turned herself in to police and released a statement saying she will resign in December.

Prosecutors charged a state House representative from Philadelphia on Wednesday with enriching herself by stealing money from a nonprofit organization she founded to serve the mentally ill and poor who were fighting addiction.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office accused state Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell of perjury, tampering with public records, theft and other charges. Shapiro said a plea deal was expected to be worked out.

Court papers said the theft went on for years, as Johnson-Harrell converted the charity’s funds into investment properties, vacations and luxury clothing. Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell personally spent more than $500,000 from Motivations Education & Consultation Associates, diverting Medicaid and Social Security disability funds.

The 53-year-old Democrat won a special election in March for a West Philadelphia district.

Johnson-Harrell is the first female Muslim member of the state House. She turned herself in to police Wednesday in Philadelphia.

Through her lawyers, she released a statement saying she will resign from her $89,000-a-year seat in the state House later in December.

“I am saddened and dismayed by the nature of the allegations brought against me today,” she said. “I vigorously dispute many of these allegations, which generally pertain to before I took office and I intend to accept responsibility for any actions that were inappropriate.”

Her attorney, Jessica Natali, said they were “ïn the early stage of this case” and declined to “address its merits in the media.”

At a Harrisburg news conference, Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell engaged in “significant and systematic corruption” involving the payments intended for the people who came to her charity for help.

“Defrauding a nonprofit or defrauding taxpayers and then systematically over many years lying to cover it up is unjust, it’s unfair and it is a crime,” Shapiro said.

Prosecutors said the nonprofit will be reorganized and that Johnson-Harrell no longer has any control over its finances.

They said the money went to buy designer clothing, multiple fox fur coats, payments on a Porsche, tuition for a relative and travel to Mexico and Florida. They said she also spent $8,000 on criminal restitution from a 2014 conviction for not paying unemployment taxes.

When WHYY went to talk to voters in her district about the indictment, most did not know who Johnson-Harrell was.

Longtime resident Beverly Holmes voted for her and calls the allegations against Johnson-Harrell are troubling. However, she’s willing to reserve judgement…for now.

“I’m willing to give her a chance to prove that she didn’t do it. I would give anybody a chance. I mean, I would hope they give me a chance,” Homes said.

Johnson-Harrell previously held a $104,000 job with the victim and witness services unit of the Philadelphia district attorney’s office and is active in an anti-gun violence foundation named for her 18-year-old son, who was shot to death in 2011.

Court papers say the thefts continued even after she worked in the district attorney’s office and started serving in the state House.

On a state statement of financial disclosure form due in May, Johnson-Harrell reported owing to the Internal Revenue Service about $50,000.

She told The Associated Press at that time that the debt went back more than a decade, from a business that helped people with special needs. She said an accountant advised her that if she had appealed in time, she would not have owed anything.

Johnson-Harrell quickly made her presence known in the Capitol. After she was sworn in to office, she objected to a colleague’s session-opening prayer that “at the name of Jesus every knee will bow.”

The lawmaker Johnson-Harrell succeeded was also charged while serving. Democrat Vanessa Lowery Brown resigned in December after being sentenced to 23 months of probation for bribery and other offenses.

More via Pa. Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell, charged with stealing more than $500,000 from her own charity, will resign

State Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell engaged in “brazen corruption” and systematically tried to cover up her crimes by falsifying records and financial statements.

“Her theft knew no bounds," Shapiro said as he announced that his office had charged the first-term lawmaker with theft, perjury, tampering with public records, and related crimes Wednesday morning.

Shapiro said Johnson-Harrell would plead guilty to charges and faces jail time. “There will be a guilty plea that will be worked out, and you will see the details of that soon," he said.

Funneling thousands

Prosecutors said Johnson-Harrell used Motivations Education & Consultation Associates (MECA) — a nonprofit she established more than a decade ago to assist people struggling with mental illness, addiction, and homelessness — for profligate spending and personal gain.

Over several years, Johnson-Harrell tried to hide her crimes through an elaborate scheme involving multiple properties in Philadelphia, Shapiro said. Among the steps she took were inflating her tax bills, hiding the nonprofit’s money through false record-keeping, not reporting the money she was taking from MECA as income, attempting to transfer real estate, and under-reporting her real salary, prosecutors said. She misrepresented her money and assets in bankruptcy filings, tax returns, and financial disclosure statements, they said.

Many of the purchases investigators tracked were easily traced to MECA funds: Often, Johnson-Harrell spent an amount she had allegedly transferred from the nonprofit to a personal account. She made some purchases directly from MECA accounts, and she repaid herself for fake loans to the organization, according to the criminal complaint.

“MECA’s actual mission was to serve as a cash account for Johnson-Harrell’s own personal use,” Shapiro said.

Among the funds used was $12,500 Johnson-Harrell allegedly transferred from MECA to the Friends of Movita campaign committee during her run for legislature this year. She told the campaign to record the money as a $15,000 personal loan from her, prosecutors said.

Then, toward the end of the campaign, Johnson deposited into the Friends of Movita account a $30,000 check she had saved from a transfer of MECA funds to her own account. She withdrew half in cash and left the rest for the campaign as an unreported loan, according to the complaint.

Johnson-Harrell also funneled $12,000 in MECA funds to Friends of Movita during a previous run for the same seat in 2015 and 2016, authorities said.

Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell, who has known Johnson-Harrell for years, said she was surprised by the charges.

“I’ve only seen her doing a great job. I’m sorry to hear it. No win in that, because she loves her community and served it well,” Blackwell said. “Things happen, but I’m hoping for the best, but we’ll just have to see what happens.”

Paying bills and spending lavishly

Johnson-Harrell was spending the organization’s money while a home MECA ran for disadvantaged Philadelphians — partly funded by Medicaid and residents’ Social Security disability checks — was falling into squalor, Shapiro said.

The attorney general’s investigation was sparked by Johnson-Harrell’s closure of the home in 2018 after the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services threatened to shut it down.

Even after it was shuttered, prosecutors say, Johnson-Harrell continued taking monthly rent payments totaling $50,000 from MECA for the property, which she owned.

With MECA funds, Johnson-Harrell allegedly spent $16,000 on vacations in 2017, including a two-week vacation with a relative to a resort in Mexico in April and a second trip to Mexico in November. She dropped $5,500 on four fox fur coats weeks after she filed for bankruptcy, according to prosecutors, and spent $13,000 in total on online shopping, including designer clothing.

In 2017, Johnson-Harrell gave a total of $2,500 to Larry Krasner’s campaign for district attorney, making each donation immediately after transferring money from MECA to her personal account. She also gave $500 to then-candidate Joe Khan, Krasner’s opponent in the Democratic primary.

She would become a supervisor in the Victim/Witness Services Unit of Krasner’s District Attorney’s Office the following year.

Johnson-Harrell also used the money to pay overdue gas bills, back taxes to the IRS, an overdue water bill, tuition for her grandchildren’s private school, and past-due car payments. She paid $7,979 in restitution for a 2014 criminal conviction for not paying unemployment compensation taxes and sent the City of Philadelphia two checks labeled “taxes,” according to the case affidavit.

House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody said the 190th District’s constituent service office would remain open to serve residents until a new representative is elected in 2020.

“These criminal charges are beyond disturbing. Rep. Johnson-Harrell is taking responsibility for what she did, and I expect her to resign very soon. She obviously cannot continue serving in elected office," Dermody said in a statement. “I know her commitment to her constituents — especially to the goal of ending gun violence in Philadelphia — is heartfelt and sincere.... But the fact is, those elected to serve have to follow the law before they can make the law.”

The kia optima lx and s models are powered by a 2. 4-liter 4-cylinder engine that sends 185 horsepower to the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. Net output: 202 horsepower/276 lb-ft of torque. Epa city/highway fuel economy: 41 mpg combined. How much does the 2020 kia optima cost?.

Looking at cars is taking up way too much of my time for someone who still has a month until I start working full time

I was looking at Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue but I’ve kinda realized that they’re going to cost a bit and I don’t really need a big suv.

Basically what I want is something with awd and some weight to it so I don’t die in the winter (nurses don’t get to call off or be late when it snows, sick people are 24/7, also throwback to when my preceptor came in one day laughing when it snowed and was like “I spun 180 degrees on the highway on my way here”). Something relatively new, like 2016 or newer, preferably 2017/18, to avoid the wear and maintenance of older cars for a few years.

So I didn’t find any cars (literal small cars) that fit what I want (awd) that I’m interested in, so I’m looking at Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V now because they are the smaller, slightly cheaper versions of the CX-5 and CR-V. They are SO similar that it’s hard for me to pick what I like better. Mazda seems prettier and more attractive, but my parents have Honda’s (a pilot and civic) and my dad knows how to do all the maintenance on them (changing brakes, tires, etc). And I know how reliable Honda’s are, my dad has had the Pilot since 2012 and logged 150k miles on it and not a single thing has broken or gone wrong on it (but he’s anticipating things to start soon, PA/northeast US winters are harsh and destroy vehicles). Also that fucking pilot is a god damn TANK, I have seen it slip in the snow ONCE, I’ve driven it through 8 inches of unplowed snow on the highway without a single fucking problem. Mazda is a little more expensive than the Honda, but it’s so pretty. I won’t actually be buying a car for minimum a month and a half, but the cx-3 I’m looking at rn is white on the outside and interior is black leather with red leather accents and it’s gorgeous. Everyone I’ve talked to who has owned a Mazda (my parents had one and mike did too) said they loved theirs, I just don’t have any idea on how they last.

I’ll obviously be looking to own this car for 5-10 years probably? So I’m also really looking at the mileage and the wear the cars already have. I’m also not looking to lease because I don’t like the idea of paying for something that I won’t actually own at the end. I also have suuuuper good credit for some reason (I have no idea why tbh, I think it’s because I have federal and private loans taken out for school that have been open for four years and I use my credit card like a debit card, only spend the money I actually have in my bank account) so I don’t really see myself having a terrible option with payments. I also will have the bug to trade in, I’m not super sure how much they’ll really value it as, but online calculators say about 2k, I could also sell it privately but that’s a dumb hassle. The bug is a special edition one which I always forget, in 2008 they made triple white coupes which is what I have, so it should be worth a bit more plus it’s the highest trim, whatever that is, I always forget the names but it has all the features they offered at the time. That’s the only year they made my car, in 07 they did triple white convertibles. But, the girl who owned the car before me curbed the passenger side a fucking ton so it’s dented, but almost all bugs I see on the road are dented like that too lol. She also burned the plastic dash and the cloth ceiling a bit with cigarettes, so that means it’s not excellent condition (+a bit of rust, thxs PA)

I guess I just have to keep looking, and of course if when the time comes I find a cheaper cx-5 or cr-v, I might go with that. I would also like something more than the base model, I love the sunroof in the bug and the heated leather seats, I also would love another white car to “honor” the bug, I’m too sentimental like that (but when it comes time and if I have to pay 1k+ more, it’s not happening). I guess I’m pretty picky with what I want, but really it boils down to safety, comfort, and price. Also with what’s available, I live in NEPA and the prices are cheaper if I drive down to the Lehigh valley area, but I’m really not looking for a 1.5-2 hour drive one way for a car, but it’s possible if there is a big price difference and there honestly does seem to be (because there is more competition down there for cars). A reliable dealership is a must too, I bought the bug from a guy with two black eyes at a sketch used car place, and while it’s a funny story to tell, you probably won’t get a great car from there. I’m surprised the bug has lasted this long, I say that all the time and I really mean it.

I’m just looking though, but those seem like my best options. I do really like the two small compact SUVs, I think they’re both so gorgeous so that might be what I go with. When the time comes I’ll just have to look again and compare the price, mileage, features, etc.

I think I’ll be plenty sentimental when the time comes to get rid of the bug, assuming nothing major breaks within the next two months and it runs good (which it fucking better because we have replaced so much..). But it’s just incredibly unreliable, I’m honestly a bit anxious about taking my NCLEX because it’s a day both my parents work and they won’t be home if my car decides not to start or do something stupid. There’s no reason/indication that’s going to happen, but it’s still worrying me. Honestly rn everything in the world is worrying me, but I think I’m just stressing myself out (although that acknowledgement doesn’t do a single thing to lessen it).

I’m going to pass my NCLEX, turn 22, start my new job, and get a new car. I just need to relax and it’s so hard. Once I pass my NCLEX I’m going to email some of my favorite professors from college and let them know I’m super grateful to have had them. Partially because I will be falling back on some of them when I need references for NP programs, but also to just personally give them a big thank you. I feel like that’s a nice and good thing to do and probably not something a lot of people would. I was deleted pictures off my phone the other day to free up space (over 2k of screenshots...) and I came across the card I wrote to my preceptor from my internship and I just remembered how thankful I really am for the people who taught me and got me through nursing school and they should get some recognition for forming me into who I am right now, and who I will be for the rest of my life because this was my baseline for my future. I think I’ll be a good nurse, I really hope so.

1989 Porsche 911 Speedster – The First 911 Speedster And An ’80s Icon

When it first went on sale the 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster caused a tsunami of excitement across the motoring world, it was the first time the iconic Speedster badge had been used on a production Porsche since the 356 Speedster was discontinued in 1958.

The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

Much like its predecessor from the 1950s the 911 Speedster was a slightly lighter and more sporting version of the standard Porsche cabriolet, but unlike the 356 version it was offered at a premium over the regular droptop.

The key external design differences between the regular 911 cabriolet and the Speedster was the raked, low profile windscreen and the fibreglass composite dual hump cover behind the seats. This cover hides a single-layer manual folding roof that offers protection from the weather, but not quite the comprehensive coverage of the regular Porsche convertible fabric top.

According to Porsche the 1989 911 Speedster (option M503) has a custom chassis and the brake system from the 911 Turbo, it was also fitted with the suspension and wheels from the 930. Manual windows were fitted in place of electric windows and the folding rear seats were removed to make way for the cowl, this combined with with lightweight folding roof meant that the Speedster weighed in at 70 kgs (154 bs) less than the 911 Cabriolet.

Just 2,104 examples of the 1989 911 Speedster were made, of these almost all had the flared wide-body wheel arches of the 930, 171 narrow body versions were also built. One of the most desirable variants of the Speedster is the right hand drive version, they’re exceedingly rare with just 139 examples built, as you would expect they’re typically sought after in regions with right hand drive cars like the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, India, and South Africa.

Porsche began production of a new 911 Speedster in 2019, it closely follows the design queues of its forebears including the 1989 911 Speedster, its development was largely based on the 911 R from 2016 and the 911 GT3.

The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster Shown Here

The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster you see here is one of the best utilized examples in the world, its first owner put just 600 miles on it before selling it in 1992 to a British car enthusiast in his mid-20s who was looking to replace his troublesome Maserati 222 E.

Cars are built to be driven, and the Speedsters new owner took this to heart. He drove the car an average of more than 15,000 miles per year including trips to the Scottish Highlands and over to France to visit Le Mans.

The car has been regularly serviced over the course of its life but the owner says it has never been coddled from everyday driving situations. It’s been used in all seasons – sun, rain, and snow. Amazingly the original clutch lasted for 206,000 miles, perhaps a testament to the quality of driver behind the wheel, while the clutch was being replaced the engine was rebuilt by marque experts.

Unlike most examples of the ’89 Speedster which have seen very limited use, this car has impressively racked up over 270,000 miles. It’s now available for sale for the first time in decades, as a rare right hand drive version it’ll doubtless attract plenty of attraction.

Simply ensure you select a double umbrell stroller with a swivel front wheel so you possibly can easily steer it. The larger wheels not only make this stroller easier to push but in addition be certain that your baby's experience is far smoother than a standard stroller.

Due to jogging strollers we canÂ spend time with ourÂ infants open air in an energetic means. Two premiumâ€ features that I've seen in my seek for the perfect double double umbrell strollerare: 1) an adjustable deal with bar and 2) a hand brake. Sadly, it solely scored a 5 of 10 for run-capacity and lacks the tracking and suspension required for a genuinely good working stroller.

The massive strollers are also transportable if they are fold ready. If you want to purchase the very best double umbrell strollerwith automobile seat then it's good to consider buying the Graco FastAction Jogger Journey System. Whereas all jogging strollers are designed for jogging activities and serve the identical function, some do have extra features than others.

There are some strollers which offer you the feature of an adjustable sun canopy. With an extremely-padded, adjustable seat and 5-factor padded harness, this stroller gives the superior remedy and full security in your little for a protected and pleasing adventure.

Under the seats there are two storage baskets - I would prefer one large bin, but these two are also fairly spacious and may accommodate plenty of mother and father' stuff. 3.Â It's one of the few jogging strollers that has a detachable essential seat and converts into a car seat carrier.

The explanation: it is simple to lose control at high speeds with a swiveling front wheel. Listed below are the primary thing I don't like (and other dad and mom also complain about): folding is 2-step course of which is a bit more difficult than in other strollers.

I interviewed Marianne Ryan , a New York physical therapist and board-licensed orthopedic scientific specialist who wrote a ebook about exercising after having a baby; Calum Neff , a professional runner and father of three who broke two world data in 2016 for running with a stroller; and Melissa Gambrill, a advertising manager at BOB, an organization that has been making jogging strollers for 20 years, and basically invented the class.

BAU Prep School AU: 2018

Welcome to the Frederick Buchanan Institute located in scenic Quantico, Virginia, a senior high academy that shapes the best and brightest minds. Its motto is “Behavior, Analysis, Unity,” the mascot the Submariners, colloquially “the Unsubs”. The small school supports the most accomplished faculty from across the country. (image link) 2016-2017 school year Class of 18

Let’s Try This Again

August 21, 2017 12:47pm

The dampness of the air lingered on every blade of perfectly shorn grass. The mud and chalk melded into a homelike aroma, welcoming JJ back, as she strolled from her car in flipflops and oversized sunglasses. She wrinkled her nose; those boys were going to be a smelly mess in this heat. As she crossed the football field, she spotted him taking shots at the goal, bouncing the balls at all angles and doing bicycle kicks and generally goofing around. He was in his element, his grin wide across his features, which was understandable; he still believed himself alone.

JJ burst into a comical round of applause as he hit the turf hard, after an overly ambitious kick forced him into something resembling a snowboarding move.

“Need a hand?” JJ peered down as he lay with his chest heaving.

“Nah, I’m good. The grass will bury me by next week.” Luke Alvez waved off her outstretched hand. “What are you doing here Jareau?”

“Had to make sure my boys were on their best behavior,” She kneeled beside him, now lounging on his side.

“So, you’re not checking up on me?” Luke teased, balancing his forearms on his knees, unable to settle the excitement within himself. “Cuz I’d say you have enough to worry about right now.” She leaned back, rubbing her perfect baby belly affectionately. “What’s the countdown to now?”

“29 days, but who’s counting?” JJ glanced down her nose. “Come on, humor me with some drills. I need to move.”

“Whatever you say, boss.” Luke rolled a nearby ball her way before dramatically flipping back upright.

That’s how the students found them, their new coach playing goalie as their overly pregnant coach kept him dodging for every corner of the box with her pristine aim. The upperclassmen suffered through tryouts before school began each year as their games started the second week of September, freshmen rarely made starter squad anyhow. If the boys wanted to learn something about grit, these were the best teachers they could have asked for. Not that teenagers ask for things so freely given.

Friday September 1 10:32am

It was as if no time had passed, they filed into the Delaney Owens Memorial Library with casual conversation spilling over the meeting’s set start time. The faculty of the Frederick Buchanan Institute gathered for their annual staff pop-wow. Penelope Garcia sat straight backed at Headmaster Hotchner’s left as her boyfriend and football coach, Derek Morgan leaned casually beside her, making small talk with veteran math teacher, Jordan Todd.

“Alright, everyone, let’s make it official. Welcome to the new school year, for those of you unable to attend our little development weekend in July, we have two new staff members this Fall.” Hotch gestured to the middle of the table to his right. “Luke? Would you like to introduce yourself?”

Luke nodded and held up his hand in a short wave, “Luke Alvez, your new Foreign Language teacher and interim soccer coach. Originally from the Bronx, played professionally after college and have been teaching in California and most recently the Carolinas for eight years.”

“Thanks, alright, now the other new face. Matt?” Hotch looked to the far end of the table, the statuesque Asian man smiled slyly with only one cheek.

“I’m Matt Simmons. I’m filling in for Coach Jareau’s classes while she is on leave. I am currently taking a leave of absence, myself, as foreign correspondent for Al Jazeera, but before that I was on the D.C. political scene.”

“Oh, the girls are going to eat you boys up!” Mrs. Todd teased the pair of attractive new teachers.

“Jordan.” Hotch chuckled.

“Oh, who am I kidding, this day and age, everyone is going to love you.” She sighed, spinning back to the headmaster in her seat.

“Right, anyway, welcome, to you both. Penelope?” Hotch kept the meeting succinct.

Ms. Garcia squealed quietly as she spun to address the whole faculty. “Friends, teachers, countrymeh- peoples. Hi!” The meeting continued, Penelope and Hotch covering the new schedules and upcoming events. Something in the air felt more relaxed than years past, as if the summer had yet to release the staff of her transfixing spell. They made their way to the cafeteria, Chef David Rossi’s delights tantalizing their noses from halls away.

“I’ve got to be honest, I am surprised Jareau didn’t make it today,” Luke confided to Emily and Hotch.

“I was surprised I got her to stay home,” Emily deadpanned. “I’m sorry about tryouts, she really doesn’t listen to reason.”

“No, it was fine. Besides, kept the guys on their toes, her shooting past me even with that big belly.” Luke smirked, Hotch sighed as Emily’s face fell.

“She was playing?!”

“What?” Luke froze. “Uh, no, not really.” His face a mask of fear and inability to lie. They had arrived to find their meals waiting. Two tables set equally for seven, saving Luke from the awkward explanation, he quickly followed Spencer, who was chatting with Alex and Stephen animatedly.

“Smooth, Alvez.” Derek patted him on the shoulder as Emily stepped passed them, anxiously checking her phone. Matt Simmons was the last one to join his coworkers, Rossi had already served everyone and had sat himself between Kate and Tara. This left the last free seat next to Alex Blake. He slipped between the Drama and Debate teacher and the ever-bubbly Guidance Counselor. “Ladies, how are we doing this afternoon?”

Alex didn’t respond but held his curious gaze as Penelope began excitedly chippering away to his right.

Tuesday Sept. 5 10am

The summer heat hadn’t relented for two weeks, leaving the players exhausted and desperate after only an hour of running drills. The linemen had the field while the quarterbacks and wide receivers were working through their flexibility drills inside. May Howard never wanted to tackle her own teammates as badly as when they were able to walk back into the airconditioned school.

“Submariners! Positions!” Coach Morgan barked from his perch on the sled. “That means you too, Turner!”

Lucas filled in beside May as their hands and heads fell into line across the turf. Their lungs strained as they waited for the starting whistle. Their coach eyed them, leaving the moment lingering; training their reflexes as much as trying their patience. Then the blast, a jolt of force pushed the large metal framework.

“Don’t stop, get it,” Derek pushed his team. “You go until the play ends. You go until their line breaks and then you take them down!”

May hated being shorter than the guys in moments like this, her legs crossing twice as many steps to keep up with theirs. Lucas laughed as the Coach drew out his ending whistle. Their bodies burning hotter than the midday sun.

“Shower up. We hit the playbook tomorrow. Hard.”

12:57pm

Azalene Curtis could not believe this is where they had been enrolled for the new school year. The place was a freaking castle, she gawked out of the driver’s side as pulled up to the parking lot nearest the Rothschild Auditorium. Her little brother, Jackson, was running late for Freshman Orientation and of course she had to be the one to drop him off. Her hair was braided and wrapped around her head to keep its weight back and off her neck. She helped her brother out of his side of the car and walked him to the doors that had been propped open.

“Lena, you can go now.” Jackson grunted, his elbow crutches easily maneuvered over the lip of the door frame.

“Are you sure? This is an old building, make sure you ask for help if there are too many stairs.” She always worried he would be too pig-headed and miss a class, something their parents tended to ignore when it did happen.

“Are you going to be like this all year?”

“What? Looking out for you? Hell yeah, high school is vicious.”

“You said the same thing about middle school.”

“And I was right, wasn’t I?”

“Whatever, loser, see you later.”

“Have fun, Jax!” Lena turned to descend the slightly inclined walking path. A sleek red convertible came to a screeching halt at the sidewalk. A tiny Hispanic girl nearly jumped from the passenger’s seat as her older brother called from the driver’s side.

“Don’t be rude, Rita. It looks bad on all of us!” Ignacio Cruz reprimanded his freshman sister.

“Go to Hell, Iggy. I’m only rude when you make me late!” And she ran past the Curtis siblings as if they weren’t even there.

Wed. Sept. 6 7:31am

“Good morning everybody. My name is Matt Simmons and I will be filling in for Coach Jareau this fall. I know formality is expected here, but I believe in mutual respect. If you can act in an appropriate manner, you get to call me by my first name.” He stood at the front of his first hour Journalism class in a fresh gray button down matched with a black and white paisley tie. He read the crowd easily, from the overly attentive girl in the front row to the completely disinterested guys in the back.

“You’re actually the Matt Simmons.” Sacha Kane took a quick picture of him. “Best first day of school. Ever.” She read her caption to her Instagram post barely beneath her breath.

“Guys? No pictures, this is a classroom.” Matt sighed. “For those of you who don’t know me, I am a reporter with Al Jazeera. I have a bachelor’s degree from NYU and a master’s from GW.”

“You’re also Hannah’s uncle.” Iggy Cruz added from his perch in the last row, attempting to bring the new teacher down a peg.

“That is correct, Hannah Chang is my sister’s daughter.” Matt smiled easily, arrogant senior guys weren’t really that intimidating after reporting in conflict zones for the past ten years. “And your father is on the Board of Regents and Maya here is Mr. Walker’s daughter. It’s really cozy here at F.B.I., isn’t it?”

“We’re all about getting cozy, handsome.” Sacha leaned back, biting her lip.

“Ms. Kane?” Mr. Simmons raised his eyebrows. “Are we going to have a problem?”

She rolled her eyes and sat up straight, his voice switched from sultry to commanding in an instant. He wasn’t sure what he was expecting from his first day teaching, but this certainly hadn’t been it. Mr. Simmons turned down the lights and began his opening presentation. He left the class with reading assignments and to bring in a print media example of a current events opinion piece for the next day.

“Way to piss off the new teacher, Sacha. Since when do we have homework on the first day?” Jake sassed down at his flirtatious classmate on the way to his second period.

“Jakey, come on. He had that ready before I even snapped a pic.” She grinned confidently. “This semester is going to get me past ten thousand followers.”

10:36am

Luke Alvez’s throat hurt from talking during his morning classes. He started the semester with simple conversations, introductions and asking about the students. Second period was the beginners, but most of the teens had some knowledge of the language as their household staff or nannies may have spoken it around them. There was only one crack about tequila or cerveza, which he chalked up as a win. Now that he was done with his long stretch of classes, he realized how early in the day it was to have lunch.

“I feel like I just had breakfast.” Luke admitted as he grabbed his plate from the cart that Rossi had wheeled in to the staff dining hall, before ducking back to the cafeteria.

“You’re telling me, man. But if you don’t eat now, you’re going to regret it.” Derek shared from experience.

“How’s your first day going, teach?” Kate teased as she dug into her perfectly prepared meal.

“Pretty good, all things considered. I guess Penelope was teaching them at the end of last semester, so I can’t really win any popularity contests.”

“Yeah, don’t sweat it, man. My girl has these kids by the heartstrings and their parents by their wallets, but she was not meant to be teaching. Trust me.” Derek Morgan chuckled.

“We’re just glad you’re here now. Let the craziness of last year be left in the past.” Tara added in her comforting voice.

“Funny the history teacher is talking about leaving things in the past,” Alvez chided.

“Oh, watch out, he’s got the comeback.” Derek egged his coworkers on.

They continued like that up until the bell rattled them back to reality. The easy banter hinting that perhaps this team was going to work out while past line ups had left people slipping between the cracks.

3:42pm

Spencer had been to the principal’s office numerous times over his academic career. Usually as the victim of some sort of bullying, the bruises hidden beneath his oversized clothing. Once it was because he had explained something during a biology lesson and his lab partner thought he was sexually harassing her. And another had been because his history teacher deemed him a distraction to other students and he had to remain in the principal’s office for the remainder of the quarter during that class period. The principal promptly retired the following summer.

These experiences were racing through his thoughts as he knocked on Hotch’s office door after the first day of the new school year. Clammy hands betraying his nerves.

“Come in,” the headmaster’s voice genial. “Reid? Everything okay?”

“You tell me,” Spencer didn’t sit but stood with one hand in his pocket to hide the tension it held. “I have fewer classes on my schedule this year and you gave Sociology to a glorified cameraman.”

“Matt Simmons has an undergraduate degree in Sociology, Reid. He is more than qualified to teach an introductory class on it.”

“As do I. In addition to my three doctorates in other fields.”

Hotch eyed the younger man. “Reid! What is this really about?”

“Do you think I can’t handle the course load? Did I somehow lower the standards with a full schedule?”

“Last year I lost two qualified educators, one to a personal vendetta of a student and one to trauma from the hands of another student. I cannot put my faculty at risk of burn out or exhaustion when the very people we are charged with nurturing could, rather poetically, bite the hand that feeds them.”

“This isn’t about my curriculum?”

“No.”

“Or my attempt at a stargazing club?”

“Not at all, though that really was just asking for kids to sneak off and neck.”

“Neck?” Spencer rubbed his absentmindedly, not getting the reference.

“Spencer,” Hotch leaned on his desk top, signaling the science teacher to sit as well. “I purposely gave you a prep period this year. I don’t want you to work yourself sick. We need to all be on our A game. That means accepting a break, even if we think we’re invincible.”

Spencer’s lips curled into a blushing smirk. “Clever word choice, Hotch. Invincible is late Middle English but has Latinate roots; ‘in’ and ‘vincibilis’ respectably.”

“Reid.”

“Sir?”

“I asked a lot of you, and even more so of Penelope, last term. This is my way of trying to remedy that.”

“Oh.” Spencer caught on. “Well, it was my pleasure. Besides, I kind of owed it to her, too.”

“No, you didn’t, but that’s what makes you a great teacher, Reid. You care so deeply, you take on the burdens of other’s growth. Just make sure you’re taking care of yourself too, yeah?”

“Yeah, okay.”

Friday Sept 8 6:12pm

Maya Walker scrambled through loading the dishwasher, causing both her parents to glance between themselves. She had three different chapters to read, a dozen geometry problems to proof out and a trumpet solo to prepare for seating auditions next week. The pressure was starting to sink in. She gave up snapping Meg Callahan and just called her on speaker.

“This is only the first week of the next four years of my life and I am DROWNING, girl.”

“Hey, Maya.” Meg’s voice sounded overly cheerful.

“Did you just answer the phone at the dinner table? Nu-uh, Kate is going to kill you!”

“Rough week? That sucks,” The line became muffled as Meg clearly played on her aunt’s sympathies to get excused early from the family meal. “Okay, I have ten, twelve minutes tops before she is going to call your mom and check on you.”

“You didn’t have to answer, dork!”

“I couldn’t stand it! Chris was doing light saber noises while trying to convince Kit to eat his Brussel sprouts. They’re Brussel sprouts! It is physically impossible to like them until you’re at least twenty-five!”

“Preach!” Maya filled in. “But seriously, I am dying. Do you have homework? Maybe we can hit the bookstore tomorrow or Sunday. I am going to lose it if I am stuck in my room all weekend.”

“It’s the first week of school, I have like one page of Algebra homework.”

“Which could take hours.”

“Mrrrrrrp. Nope, sorry. I can’t draw it out that long.”

“Please? Because you value me as a friend and person?”

“Maya Walker, don’t go begging now!” Meg cackled. “But seriously, I am sorry you have so much work. And I am slightly terrified for next year. Hey, you said you signed up for Journalism, right?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Is Mr. Simmons as hot as Kate is saying he is?”

“Whoa, go Kate!” Maya cheered on the nurse’s taste. “Yes, he is built like a Greek god, with all the ageless beauty of his Asian roots.”

“Ugh, I wish my teachers were hot.”

“Dude!”

“Okay, well, like, not our parents, obviously.”

“I should hope so!” Mara shuddered. “But seriously, Journalism is first hour, he already knows my name and who I am. It’s going to be a long year.”

“Still a great view to wake up for every morning.”

“Whatever, traitor. So no study sesh this weekend?”

“Nah, sorry. I am babysitting and then we have something on Sunday.”

“You owe me!”

“Yeah, yeah, well I better scram. Hugs!”

“Thanks, Meg. Talk later.”

“Yep.”

Maya hung up the phone and fell dramatically into the mound of quilts atop her bed. She was procrastinating, but something about two days and four assignments felt daunting. After twenty minutes on her favorite puzzle game, she gave in. She got out her trumpet and got to work.

Next Chapter: Uphill

Best SUV Cars In India

SUVs have become a popular car type in the industry today. Almost 1 out of every 3 cars that rolls out of the showroom is an SUV. There are a number of reasons why SUVs have become such a popular vehicle among the masses. Modern SUVs come with a long list of features that rival their sedan counterparts. When you couple this with a strong road presence and a go-anywhere attitude, the SUV is truly a sound option. If you are looking for the best SUV under 15 Lakhs, read on while we help you figure out what suits you best.

We present to you a comprehensive list of the best SUVs under Rs. 20 lakhs and Rs. 10 Lakhs.

Kia Seltos

The Seltos is Kia’s first model in India commissioned with the uphill task of establishing the Korean auto giant in the Indian market. It unsurprisingly did not disappoint. The car had all the right ingredients for the job. Attractively designed, keenly priced and available with a wide range of engine and gearbox options. You can opt for the 1.5-litre petrol, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines. The individual engines are available with manual and automatic gearbox options. All versions of the Seltos are BS6 compliant with the manufacturer keeping a check on the latest norms.

Mahindra Thar

The Mahindra Thar is the true off-roader. The all-terrain monster can negotiate the beaten track like no other. The car is surprisingly capable as an everyday vehicle with creature comforts like AC, climate control, and telescopic steering. The all new Thar is an embodiment of the original Jeep with its boxy looks and well shaped front and rear bumpers. The Thar is available with diesel and petrol engine options and there are three roof options as well.

MG Hector

The Hector is Chinese-owned British carmaker Morris Garages’ initiation to the Indian market. At first glance, it sure has some interesting ingredients to offer. An eye catching design, massive proportions and new-age tech make it a well-rounded package that should definitely be on the radar of prospective mid-size SUV owners. The car’s engine choices include a petrol-manual, a petrol-automatic and a diesel-manual. There is also the option of mild-hybrid technology on the petrol-manual powertrain. A major talking point is the industry first 5 year/unlimited km warranty that the car offers.

Hyundai Creta

The Hyundai Creta has been without doubt one of the most successful vehicles that has come from the Hyundai stables. The car got an all new 2020 facelift with a host of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. One of the prominent features of the new Creta is a bold front grille with an updated set of tail lamps. The interior remains disguised, but it is likely to have the same layout as the current model. When it comes to the engine options, the new car gets a 115PS 1.5-litre diesel and 140PS 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 6-speed manual, automatic and a 7-speed DCT gearbox options.

Mahindra Scorpio

The Scorpio SUV is undoubtedly Mahindra’s biggest hit. Its tough build makes it well-suited to rough usage and to many, the upright shape gives it the right image too. The Mahindra Scorpio is available in 7-, 8- and 9-seat configurations and there are lots of versions to choose from. Automatic transmission isn’t on offer but you can choose from 2.5-litre and 2.2-litre diesel engines; the latter is available in two states of tune, and four-wheel drive is also an option.

Toyota Innova Crysta

The Innova Crysta is a popular MUV (Multi Utility Vehicle) from the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. The car was first launched in May 2008 and has since seen a number of upgrades including the 2016 Crysta. The car gets cosmetic and mechanical upgrades and is bigger, better looking and more luxurious than ever before. It also boasts a BS6 compliant 2.4-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine and a 2.7-litre petrol engine.

Mahindra XUV 500

The XUV 500 is a 7 seater SUV from the Indian automobile manufacturer Mahindra. The car was first introduced in 2011 and has seen multiple upgrades including a facelift in 2017. The XUV 500 new model gets more power, new features and a long-overdue automatic transmission. The XUV500 is available in petrol-auto, diesel-manual and diesel-auto forms while the diesels can also be had with all-wheel drive. Powering the diesel is a 2.2 liter mHawk engine that delivers 140bhp of power and 320Nm of torque; while the petrol motor is a 2.2-litre mHawk engine that delivers 140bhp of power and 320Nm of torque.

Jeep Compass

The Jeep Compass Is an all-round SUV that’s perfectly made for India. Tough, capable and built to last, the Compass feels like a proper Jeep. The standard Compass is available in petrol-manual, petrol-auto, diesel-manual and diesel-auto forms, the latter two of which can be had with all-wheel drive as well. The whole range was given a facelift in early 2021, which remained mechanically unchanged but brought significant improvements to the interior. The new model Compass has taken things to proper luxury car levels in terms of quality, appointments and equipment.

Tata Safari

The lord of the SUVs, the Tata Safari is back in an all new avatar. Tata has brought the Safari name back, a seven-seat cousin of the Harrier. Unlike previous Safaris, which used ladder-frame chassis and traditional, rear-biased 4x4, the new one borrows the Harrier’s (actually Land Rover) D8 platform and is front-wheel-drive only. It's powered by a 170hp FCA-sourced 2.0-litre diesel engine, which can be had with either a six-speed manual or six-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox.

Tata Harrier

The Harrier is a premium SUV from the Indian automobile manufacturer Tata. The car was first introduced in 2019 and has seen one upgrade including a facelift in 2020. The new Harrier gets more power, new features and a long-overdue automatic transmission. One of the defining features of the Harrier is the Land Rover platform that the SUV has been built on. This makes the Harrier a force to reckon with. This platform is powered by the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. The engine also happens to power the Jeep Compass, which is a 170hp power-house of a motor.

Final Thoughts

Rugged looks, big tyres and a go-getter attitude make the modern SUVs in India a sophisticated piece of engineering. If you are looking for an SUV under 20 Lakhs, make sure to go through our list carefully before coming to a decision on which SUV to buy. Understanding key specifications like engine type, seating capacity and price are key factors in getting the right SUV.

Remember to Buy Insurance

Once you have found your dream SUV below Rs. 15 Lakhs, make sure to give your car the much needed protection of a good car insurance. In the event of an accident or natural calamity, your car will be protected for any eventuality.

A great place to get your SUV insured is Finserv MARKETS. Here you will find some of the best insurance plans that offer own-damage protection and third party protection. The comprehensive car insurance policy not only covers damages that occurred to your car during an accident but also covers the repairs and costs incurred to third-party property.
