Let’s put the ‘reliability’ arguments to the side, and the fact that Lexus makes great riding suspension. This car is too ugly to be paying an sort of dollar amount, especially such a high price as this one. It has nothing in the way of performance, even though it has a V8, and was just a failure of a car from Lexus.…

You don’t buy cars as investments, you buy them because you love em.

Index Fund: Can’t: can’t wash it and polish it and make it and you feel good that it looks really good now; can’t row through the gears with the gated shifter, can’t listen to the engine note

“.....impossible....light and touchy....peaky....unsprung oxcart....burning Bakelite and raw gas...uncomfortable, awkward, foul-smelling, noisiest vehicle...

Every time I see this era of Ferrari, I remember getting to drive my former boss’s Dino 308 GT4.

“That’s why, when I saw this silver over black Quattrovalvole sitting at the curb with a for sale sign in the window, my baser instincts took over, unconsciously pulling my car to a stop so I could leap out and take a closer look.”

Could there be a better indicator of why Rob is a real Jalop. And why I feel so at home…

Yeah but with this you get a Ferrari.

It has a flat plane crank, giving it an OUTSTANDING engine note.

Yeah so I guess we should have just stuck with the horse and buggy because it would have been ridiculously expensive to build the interstate system for cars... Common man, this guy is actually trying to take his money and do real shit. He isn’t just throwing it at foundations or institutions. He is trying to move the…

still a fan of anything elon musk proposes and backs with his own money :)

It’s rather difficult to get insurance for, & pretty hard to secure a loan from most banks for one.

OK, everybody stop, because you’re arguing over shit you clearly don’t understand, and it’s making bunny cry.

That $3k iPhone argument is baseless and tiresome. Apple builds the phone there because it’s cheap for them to do so. Apple charges $1k for a phone because people will pay it. No sound business has a set percentage of profit margin, then charges a final price based on such a formula.

You really didn’t think Trump could manage the US economy any better than he manages his personal life did you.

I love 240s, but I like turning. This leaves me cold. I guess if you’re into living life a quarter-mile at a time it might appeal. CP

I’m sure you have some more in-depth analysis for this, but don’t bother. For the past nearly 40 years, increasing trade deficits have not stymied the US’s GDP growth.

FUCK TRUMP!

lovely story, but still not explaining what is inherently bad about our current trade situation.

Don’t forget that the truck-heavy US market applies levies of 25% on foreign-made trucks.

1st gear: Among the chattering politicos I know I’m hearing that this “trade war” is really just a ruse to rile up the steel worker base so they turn out for the Republican in Pennslyvania’s special House election. (From what I hear we’re talking about 140,000 people there would might benefit from tarriffs).

Now - I’m…
