Another car, essentially identical to this one but automatic and no shift knob foolishness and less than half as much mileage went for over $8000 last month. Another Miata, no hardtop, went for over $7000.

Dude, get your vaccination as soon as you possibly can you need to get out, like, a lot more.

He wasn’t unaware. That’s bullshit. He knew.  I’d bet a whole dollar he knew.

Well that’s an easy No Dice; I’ve never been so in love with a car that I was willing to pay a premium for it, and I’m not about to pay some jamoke a cool thirty grand just because he got one before I did.

“A cat may look at a king.”

This was the example I held up as proof that the car market was off its roller rockers, and possibly the next poster child of the subreddit Awful Taste But Great Execution.
