I’ve bought several used vehicles online (eBay, Bring a Trailer auctions, Craigslist, etc). Never sat in them until they were dropped off in my my driveway.

So, in effect, the GT350 is more akin to a 911 GT3 while the GT500 is the GT2. Finesse vs. Excess. Both good, but the “lesser” car may be more sublime.

I was watching an interview with Chip Foose once, and he basically said he had been asked by Ford to ‘tweak’ a few cars (like updating the fifth generation Mustang during its mid-cycle refresh). He implied that he may have given them some more fully-realized renders...

I had the same thing happen to me. An IO9 article popped up on Google News that didn’t show in my feed. What are they doing with their algorithms?

Then how do retail establishments survive posting their price tags for everyone to see? By your logic, I shouldn’t be able to see the price on, say, a washer and dryer in Home Depot - because the dudes from Lowe’s might see them, too.

Or, perhaps, US firms don’t make a ton of cars that work well in Europe? Go ahead, drive an F-150 SuperCrew through the middle of Paris or Milan. You’ll need the bed for all the mirrors you take off.  Not to mention different rules for lighting, crash standards, and those pesky emissions standards that Trump’s EPA is…

Exactly! Your point about parties and playboys is EXACTLY why Bernie sought a different location for the USGP than Indianapolis.

Well, keep in mind that Miami is the de facto capital of the Caribbean. Plenty of people from all over Latin America. Most of them are more in to F1 than the average US citizen...

I did say I couldn’t cite a source!  Wikipedia isn’t always the best.

Depends on the vehicle and what you’re using it for.

I can’t cite a source, but I can give you two things to look up:

Speaking from experience, tires and aero play HUGE parts here.

Counterpoint: No.

Actually... AVERAGING 80mph while driving any distance is pretty stout when you factor in fuel stops. Doing it as they did in a Ferrari Daytona meant that they were likely stopping for gas every two hours, at the most.

It also depends on other life choices.  What do you choose to spend on housing, entertainment, child care (or, no kids), etc.

Well, I’ll use my wife and I as an example.  We needed a new tow vehicle, our 10 year old Durango died.  We really liked the 3.5L twin turbo F-150.  Depreciation on 2 year old ones was minimal, so we bought new.  Our first new vehicle since 2001.  It was driven by a need to tow a 24-ft enclosed trailer.  We swallowed…

Or, they can afford it. In a household with two middle-management professional types working, say $140K a year combined, it’s possible.

Well, today that car’s blue book varies by the amount of fuel in the tank...

I’m not sure of the issue, here. If Oprah had given them $28K in CASH, they’d still owe Uncle Sam $6000.

You were much more kind than me. I was about to type: “Bawaahahahahahahahhahahahah [gasp] hahahahahhahahhaaaaaa.”
