I am counting the steering wheel spokes. I only get to three.

My thought is that even if they spent money on the wrap, if the car was so nice underneath they would have been able to ask more money for the car with the wrap stripped and the nice factory paint showing.  Still pretty cheap for a 911.  Maybe nice price, but the wrap turn me off, not for me.

Not a stupid automobile museum at all, but this should go straight to the Lane collection of small, unusual cars in Nashville.  https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/

So seller wants some sucker to pay well over retail price for a car with a known issue, and they can’t even vacuum the tiny damn interior before taking the pictures? This rises to a higher level of hell no than I even knew existed.

I remember reading a road test of a Tesla or some other EV a few years back, and it noted that although the EV had great acceleration numbers, repeating the high performance behavior overheated the batteries or some such, and you pretty quickly and the performance dropped off a lot.  Would these things not work for an…

Car looks presentable and usable to me as is. Also looks like a lot of fun. Way back in the day when I was graduating from British sports cars as my daily driver I looked at one of these and an RX7. Liked them both, but the RX won out because it was going to be my daily driver, and it had much more space to put things…

As I often do here and elsewhere when I see a vehicle in decent shape, but well over 10 years old with well over 100,000 miles, I think, “that is a $6,000-7,000 car”. From many of the comments here I am glad I am not alone in my views on used car values unrealistic and outdated understanding of the used car market.

Understood, unfortunately it is not like a chemistry experiment where if you know the ingredients going in you know what is going to come out.  I had just recently read the article and  was going to comment on it here, saw your post and piggybacked off of it.

I want to comment on the video game thing.  I am not a gamer myself, but have seen and briefly played a few of the first person shooter games myself, and wondered if there was some relationship to all the violence and these very violent games.  Just read a report that was a study of all the studies on these issues. …

I am not a Mercedes expert by any means,  it I shop the old ones in a fairly regular basis, most anything over a certain age (generally 60s or older) certainly commands a premium, as do some of the higher end later models.  But this is a very mundane spec 80s Mercedes in what looks like good shape other than the…

I rather like it. It presents well as what it is as a novelty or museum piece, and could also be put into service as an urban delivery vehicle that could both deliver the goods, and serve as advertising for your business.

While I don’t generally defend Texas, 10% loss of revenue to an already underfunded roads infrastructure system is a big hit.  And presumably the EV use goes up over time, be pro-active or wait until it is at a more crisis level?

And the gas tax, federally and state is a per gallon tax in most places, so they have not gone up with the rise in gas prices the last few decades.  

But you also have the federal gas tax of 18.3 cents a gallon you are losing with EVs as well. Since highway/roads funding is a mix of federal, state and local dollars you could argue it is all going back to the same pot.

I totally agree, but that loophole is so popular with businesses large and small,as well as Detroit, it will probably never go away. So the feds are incentivizing us to drive EVs and the least efficient vehicles at the same time.  I would argue that both of these incentives are regressive as you have to have a bit of…

Excellent as well, I have watched it many times.  Clarkson's summary at the end still gives me shivers.

Beat me to it, can't believe this wasn't on the list.  While the ones mentioned are good, when I read the headline this is the segment that immediately popped into my head.

Another excellent news that of those at this price I was expecting a near perfect car, maybe not as new, but fresh without numerous issues cosmetic and mechanical to fix. Low miles and pristine we could start considering it to be nice price. As is I don’t know, but I am thinking the ask is somewhere around triple what…

I have no doubt that California and other states will embrace cars that go both ways, while red states try to restrict and control them.

Like how you did that, I have my own opinions but it is much easier to scroll up to your comment than all the way through the slideshow.
