I rented a ‘17 ecoboost mustang droptop in Hawaii earlier this year.

Forty-Seven Thousand One Hundred Ninety Dollars! 

It’s a tagline from DeMuro’s old CrossCabriolet review. Which is worth watching again.

So, this is where I try not to be an asshole, but didn’t they have a big hurricane in SC in the last six months? If the dealer is reliable you’re probably okay, but I’d be real careful to look out for flooded cars.

As much as this pains me to say - and it does - the 2017 Fiat 124 spider.

$47,190. You could buy a train!

From a franchise dealership or a BHPH kind of place? Do you live somewhere with salt?

Aww. When I was a wee high school freshman, there was a senior girl who drove one of these Catfish. She was beautiful, smoked menthol cigarettes, and would give me a ride sometimes after theater rehearsals.

Eh.. the mk2 was heavy, slow, and cornered like a pig.

I see these all the time. I assume they’ve depreciated to the point where they’re a near lock for profitable BHPH lots.

$47,190! You could buy a Manatee!

True story - my sister was looking to buy a new compact car a couple of years ago. She was cross shopping the Versa against Honda and Hyundai and had test drove the Sonata, Elantra, Civic and Fit. When the Nissan dealer heard that, they offered to sell her a Sentra for the price of a Versa.

Dame Helen is on my celebrity hall pass list.

“Brilliant Insanity” describes an RX-7.

My wife is there, and with the naivety of someone who has never had to run from the police, she’s taken our two kids to protest with her.

My dad had one of these S4s.

...you had a V8 S4 like my dad, huh?

Yeah, we have sync on my wife’s ecoboost flex and it’s easier to use the voice commands than the touchscreen. I’ve used Uconnect in rental cars and it’s definitely superior in terms of “easy to use”. The Chevy/GMC system is somewhere in between (not bad, but can be really confusing).
