I am guessing the cost of the higher octane is less than a penny per gallon, the only reason why the higher grades cost more is the market will bear the cost. Will more volume on the higher octane lower prices? Who knows.

That cheap if it breaks. That thrifty if it doesn’t. If you have the skillset for fixing something again when it breaks, not the end of the world. That said, my preference is the best battery on the junker, and remanufactured or new for an alternator.

Saab Sonnet II V4? Was actually a licensed engine from Ford, but the front of the engine looks right.

Proper (Stirling) Moss to go with your car. May increase wear and tear on your tires.

Quirky is having a turntable.

That is quite a bit of capital tied up. How long before they sell them off overseas? Does China run on the same gage? I would imagine they could sell half now, keep some as a buffer, and upgrade as they go if business picks up more than that.

Could just be a eastern Washington was A bad beet to be on.

Nah, I need a Hellcat.

Sounds like a plot point in an episode of Star Trek.

No reason to wait on the confit, you can do it at home! If duck is too rich for your pocketbook, try chicken confit.
