how much newest Mustang and Camaro entry-level, an Ecoboost and Ecotec which both using 4-cylinder turbo cost ?? AFAIK it’s less than $35k

A car I have driven is the 1905 Darracq, this is not me driving it!

Pity, I guess I’ll spend my imaginary $320k elsewhere. At least my imaginary self won’t have to worry about Maserati reliability.

I’ve heard Toyota and Mazda are cooking up a sports car using a version of Mazda’s inline 6 already, so, what’s one more shared development sports car?

It’s a bummer that $50k is now ‘reasonable’ for a trim like the Trailsport.  At least it has heated seats / steering wheel at that level, and the tow package is only a $220 add.  I’m betting they don’t add an additional trans cooler.

I’ve done 204 mph skydiving. Gear, orientation, and control make all the difference. 

I have ridden a tweaked ‘Busa. I am not sure if I was in control.Do not check Top Fuel Dragster on the interweb!

I suggested a $38 plane ticket as the answer here and was called a buzzkill. If it has to be terrestrial speed, a Shinkansen ticket. If it has to be under your own control, then it’s gotta be the Busa

$150k for single income, $300k for household income for new cars.

I’m starting to become very anti-Toyota purely because of how insanely greedy the dealers have become. It was hell trying to get a new 2021 Venza Limited, and I did...but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

How about a small minivan?

Yeah, I’m on that same fence. It looks clean, but $6K still seems a tad high for a 37-year-old 2wd truck with a rebuilt engine. Guess it depends on if the seller “knows what I have” or is open to a little bargaining.

Couple of months ago I dropped my much less glamourous Audi for maintenance and took the “limo service” as they don’t provide loaners to the plebes.

Manual > Not Manual

Admittedly, Volvo’s factory-default top speed limiter is a bummer but I wouldn’t call 0-60 in 4.1 seconds “far from fast”, especially for a family car.

“You’re the driver.”

I count 11 cops in that photo. Certainly there were even more just outside of the picture. Coordinate this kinda thing with a bunch of bank robberies going on at the same time and success would be assured.

Blackwing all the way.

Around Christmastime, I bought a used car. My main reason for buying at that time was that I couldn’t know what Captain Unpredictable’s mandates would do to the pricing of... everything.

But as to your point of equipment, I bought a 2017 Mazda CX-5 because it *lacks* some modern technology of the current model... stuff…

The one thing I am curious most about is how long could you run this thing without requiring any major work. I would be impressed with 60K miles, most impressed with 100K miles. Being a test driver, my focus has been shifting towards reliability than outright performance. If a system can be complex and reasonably…
