That was actually what I had in mind when I made the comment.

I don't think any of them have sold for more than $10m. And I could have sworn I saw that there was one at auction last year that failed to sell with a reserve a little over $8m.

Most expensive car ever, because it was actually sold. Which leads me to a good QOTD idea - which of the world's "priceless" cars would bring the most money, should it ever be sold?

tl;read it anyway

I concur. I don't know of any other shows where I've seen a taxi blown away by a jet engine, or a car split in half by a jet-powered plow.

Bought a $2500 P71 Crown Vic to use as a beater. I'll have had it 3 years in August and aside from the regular gas and maintenance, I've spend $100 on brakes and $850 on an engine to keep it running. I think I've already had my money's worth. (Note the GTO is gone and I have a C5 targa instead now)

So this is just a rendering - hasn't been approved. But I bet they would let it through...

Why is the hour hand the same color as the face?

Won't rain get in the exhaust pipes?

I think I read several years ago about the bill allowing lane-splitting being passed. Apparently I didn't follow up on that because it did pass the Senate but then got hung up in the house and tabled.

Lane-splitting is legal in Texas too. Don't act like California is all special and stuff.

You mention that most phones have GPS these days, but if you're in an area with no data then you can't download the maps. So I would qualify that suggestion by adding a GPS with maps already loaded.

I concur.

No, "Dr. Ing." means it's a doctorate in engineering. If it says "h. c." (for honoris causa) then that means it's an honorary degree.

I concur.

20 cents' worth of O-rings, but the retail price is usually over $6.

Well the '12 probably has 10 times as much wiring as the '81, several airbags, sound deadening material, and is physically larger since it has 4 doors.
