Hey Brad,

There’s the rub. I didn’t see that mentioned before, so my fault I guess? I was just confused because the $3,000 stated in the article appeared incorrect as stated with the proposed figures.

20% would be $600, and thus $3,600 total price. This is a 16.67% price hike to $3,500.

Economics are cyclical. Classic cars will ebb and flow like anything else.

Bystanders watch on carefully under the umbrellas currently protecting them from the downpour for a glimpse to see the McLaren P1 in its natural, urban and woefully British environment: crawling extremely slowly between a stucco wall and a garbage truck over uneven, rain soaked cobblestone, nearly guaranteeing that it…

Own a 2016 A7. Would drive this.

Drove stick only for over a decade, bought a ‘16 Audi A7 w/ the torque converter auto and have not regretted it at all. Feels fine if not great in almost all situations. The auto in my wife’s ‘14 Merc G550 feels a lot shittier but that’s to be expected being that it is a 5700 pound truck with two live axles. I still…

It’d be a relatively easy car to drive as a manual, though.

Lived in a city for 8 years owning homes and renting, own a home in the suburbs now, might move more rural in next couple years. All of it sucks in different ways. I thought like you thought when I was younger and have found out that it is less about absolutes and more about opportunity cost.

No one is forcing these people to buy things they can’t afford.

Yeah. They’re not bad if you look at total cost of ownership. Very little depreciation will ever occur on a S2000 unless you buy a super low mile one for some unforseen reason.

Valid. I run my C7 and don’t really care, but I don’t daily it. Got an Audi A7 for that. That said, you aren’t wrong - I plan to prep a BS AP2 S2000 for next year anyway because the Corvette PAX fucks me ;)

Bought a Miata as an auto-x car because hype. Hated it immediately. Sold it. Bought thing with V8. Like it more. /end discussion

Or antibiotics!

I just bought my wife the 2nd least efficient Mercedes in recent production (G550 with the NA 5.5L V8), so we can call the ones that aren’t actively swallowing dinosaur juice for hobby Benz all day I guess.

BMW will likely name it the Z5 S-Drive30banasauce dynamic //////MZ5

Rent was due on Monday, Patrick.

I own a bunch of rental units. I include no clauses preventing tenants from working on cars. That said, if someone left an entirely dissembled vehicle visible enough to warrant complaints from the city or neighbors, I'd probably have to take some action. Never had an issue though.

Guy I know did an auto-x run in his in drift mode on Sunday. That looked fun. Slow as fuck, but fun.
