The one with your parent driving.

I’m pretty sure that’s a Jaguar XJ220.

I’m at the point where I’m just happy they are still available.

It’s just hard to shift my paradigm to “buy my 40,000 mile, 4 year old Civic Si for $25,000" when that was the list price back in 2017-18!

If we’re going that route, 2008 is also a good time. (Oh, the exotics that were available! $10,000 for a mint e28 M5!)

Nice purchase! I’ve been eyeing those since they came out, and the used car Civic Si prices have been high since even before COVID inflation!

The thing that’s killing my used car shopping is that cars with manual transmissions even vaguely resembling “sporty” are not depreciating very much. 

I was not criticizing, but just adding an example which I though might spur more discussion. 

Counterpoint: When I take my daughter to gymnastics across town, several people will sit in their vehicles and leave the SUV engine running for the entire 1.5 hour lesson, no matter what the weather. These people definitely are not hurting enough to reconsider their habits.

I didn’t like the Testarossa very much until it started growing on me 15 years ago. Now, that rear doesn’t look very big compared to modern American vehicles, and the lines flow so much more simply and elegantly than modern supercars. I really like the look of it now. Go figure. 

Maybe a Youtuber is able to use this to turn a profit with viewers? After all, some Youtubers can blow up a brand-new pickup truck and still make money, so there’s something in the Metaverse that is weird!

I have a 6 year old Mazda with an autotragic transmission, and when I tried manumatic shifting, I instinctively grabbed the shifter and put it into reverse while instinctually seeking “third gear” at 40mph (as it sits on the manual shift pattern). Some kind of lockout saved my transmission, but I haven’t been…

I am not overly fond of modern Ferrari’s either, but they are more interesting than any modern Lamborghini. 

This is the Porsche 993 for Ferrari. The only difference is that they started producing hybrids before releasing this throwback. A bit backwards, but Ferrari has never been known for forward thinking. 

Moral of the story: Some people just don’t register their vehicles. 

No one wants their kids in a room with Teacher’s Aids. They probably have aids because they’re all a bunch of Homo sapiens!!!

I read a number of articles regarding Porsche in the early 1990's and the exchange rate really hurt them at that time. They actually cut their prices and profits to compensate, but the German deutsche mark was just too strong at that time.

Timing for this article is terrible for the midwest. Even if it was warm out, we’re still getting leaves blown all over. 

Yeah, I bought my driveway sealer a month ago, and it’s been in the 30's every night since. One spot of crack filler that I tried to use never cured at all.

We know it wasn’t a rich white kid in a pickup truck, or Fox would be rallying to protect him in every way!
