RX7 deal breaker should have been the engine reliability 
Jim - I hear ya on track day risks/insurance, that's been a mantra for many and around a long time for sure. It makes sense, but sadly, probably only 10-20% of guys at most days probably follow/are doing that.

Dang, March 2019.. FZ1 (older) or FZ09.. lawd.

I had tacos last night, it was a little more crowded that usual, but tacos were on point. 2 steak 2 pastor - plenty of hot sauce and sour cream on the side.

Probably have to fire one of the developers that I just inherited. He's been the main guy for one of our systems for 2 years that needs help. I brought in one of my other developers to look at it and he tore into it, made a lot of changes that were "impossible", now is being very defensive and calling us stupid on conference calls for working too fast. He has no logs of any sprints or anything he's actually done to the system in 2 years. The business users tell me that he is there only to fix production bugs and doesn't do anything to improve or fix the root causes.

Have you 100% settled on it being one of those two? Does it have to be brand new?
Seems the Atlas R-line is low-mid $40k range.... and if you're looking for something big, reliable, and can carry 7 people.... honestly I'd suggest a CPO'd Tahoe or Yukon.
Plenty of room, super smooth, super comfortable, full frame, can tow, etc. You should also get low 20s on the highway with it, at least... my GMC Sierra pickup did 22-23 on the highway.
Don't let the stereotypes of "GM" get in the way. The new stuff is really nice.

Ugh I sorta know the feeling.
The team I built from scratch here starting in 2010 got reassigned to a total idiot when I left. She is clueless as to what the team does, it's value, it's purpose, and ran it into the ground. All the good people I hired, save for one, quit. It's now filled with retards and ALL the work relies on the poor ONE guy who's still here that I hired.
I 100% did not want to go back to that org, or have anything to do with that team. But it's starting to smell like it's best for the company as a whole to have me take it back over.
One guy, I've been very vocal over, "WHY is this guy still employed here?" and everyone just shrugs. I'll probably know in the next 2-3 months if this team is gonna be mine again - in which case, I better brush up on my "what does it take to get someone onto a PIP" skills.
Guy takes MONTHS to do stuff that should take a week, tops. He started this huge argument with me over a biz-critical tool that *I* architected and deployed before I left, about what it does and doesn't do. I kept it professional and "offline" but in the end, I had to embarrass him publicly. Not pretty.
The last few months I've actually been sorta-kinda job hunting.... but maybe I'll ride this place out. Our parent company has a big office in Atlanta, might just consider relo'ing down there instead vs. trying to find something remote.

We love the Tahoe, DAT V8 POWA, tons of room. But this is for my wife, and she thought it was too big.....the Tahoe that is
She's is not used to a true Truck platform.
These decisions are always tough.

Come work for my company and manage all the developers that report to me currently :wub:
( I can pay you probably 1/4 of what you're used to. It's a good deal :iono: )
I am drowning

Is it really that much bigger than the Atlas? The Atlas is pretty damned big.
Maybe rent one for a weekend from Hertz or something, see if she can get used to it?
Years ago my buddy wanted to buy a Cayenne S, was going to trade in his wife's A5. She test drove it and said, "I don't like it, it's too big." So he bought it for himself instead.
Few things happen, he winds up selling the Cayenne a short while later. She always claimed "It's too big, I don't like it."
Fast forward to today, what's she driving? A Cayenne. "I LOVE THIS THING!"
