I prioritize getting the trip over as soon as possible, so I eat and drink as little as possible to minimize any need to stop other than for fuel. 

Same, Toyota dealers lots have tumbleweeds rolling across their emptiness.

Lexus LC or I like the idea of the S-Class Coupe or AMG GT.  Comfort, plenty of power.  Porsche is a fine idea, but a $120k Turbo S might not be the best specimen, if there are any.

I like the render better.  The actual product looks chintzy to me and a bit part of it is that sliver of wood on the front fender.

Well to be fair, filling your car with gas doesn’t require a 45 minute wait unless it is 1973 again.  Tesla might be right to create options to help pass the time, but this doesn’t look like one for widespread adoption. 

Otto’s driving is probably a tad bit safer than Autopilot. 

I guess AAA was more valuable in the days before everyone carried a small computer in their pocket connected to a bottomless bucket of information.

While $150/300k sounds like a lot to most, it really isn’t if you live in a high cost of living area.  I guess you’d live like a king on that in West Virginia, so there is the cap. 

It had pretty much been ruined, so $2k for a running vehicle is my valuation. 

That is what I was suggesting. If you are paying $30k over MSRP to some flipper to be the first one in your gated community with a Escalade V, which would be $180k or so, you probably have close to “fuck you money”.

Sure, but only Ford dealers will be marking up a new F-150.

Hey, the ‘85 Lebaron could be had with wood paneling and Mark Cross leather.  Talk about luxury. 

How much does someone paying over $150k (and paying thousands extra to be “first”) really care about a warranty?

Don’t forget when the pillar of your community, the local Ford dealer, attempts to add on $10k to that sticker because they exist and can.

I’d personally rather have one of the later C4s when they rounded the rear end and the motor had a more respectable horsepower output, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a Corvette for $9k in better shape. 

Or designing an affordable vehicle only for the dealers to make it not so affordable.  The Maverick is largely supposed to be under $30k, which is significant in this market.  Instead you have dealers tacking on $5-10k to help the owner buy a new boat. 

I can’t imagine there are a lot of people out there who want to buy a Corvette from a reseller.  Maybe there are a handful of wealthy people who want one *now*.  Otherwise there are thousands of Chevy dealers, I’m sure you can find one if you want to pay over MSRP anyway. 

There is a difference between “boring” and “mediocre”.

Douchebag owned, ND.  Brabus grill, whatever body kit is here, a 16-year old with a Cavalier sound system, cheap looking interior. 

Guess I’ll be driving my 2013 forever at this rate.
