The billion dollars in bonds is just the tip of the iceberg. Orange County alone would have to make up for around $125 mil a year. The county tax assessor, when addressing this politically motivated stunt, noted how bad of an idea this is. Property taxes would have to be raised to 22-25% to make up that shortfall.…
According to some Internet sources, the average Mexican pay is about $10 an hour. So, yeah, get these people a raise.
Just swung by to say that Ron DeSantis is a huge cunt (and not the good kind).
The GQP cult will just blame Biden, if they even believe it. Wow, giving up on reality seem so freeing.
A lot of us don’t intuitively factor in inflation when we think about what a car should cost, because our “what car X should cost” thresholds were set a long time ago.
Toyota Supra Gets a Six-Speed Manual, But Only With the Six-Cylinder Engine
The Supra isn’t my thing, never really has been, but as a Jalop I appreciate the car regardless. But until this morning I’d never even looked them up and all I can say is, holy crap, it’s expensive! I don’t know what price range I expected to see but, it was definitely lower in my head.
These will be sought after when the Supra is discontinued in 2 years.
And less space for your helmet for lapping days
Good for Toyota actually having something real to do with this car besides the hideous styling!
I bought a Corvette at 32 and I didn’t own jorts. LOL
The Corvette plant was also hit by that tornado that caused some major damage, which also resulted in a disruption to operations as well as having to remake the damaged customer cars that were awaiting delivery.
I think the “Zora” (LT6 + twin turbo + electrification) will be in hypercar territory. It’s going to be “too much” car in my opinion; I think the new Z06 is bonkers enough. My guess is that the E-Ray is going to give Z06 performance (likely a bit faster 0-60 time) and better fuel economy (possibly the option for a…
No, this is probably the right outlook. As ICE cars are replaced by electric, the relative increasing scarcity of used ICE cars will keep their prices elevated. Meanwhile the demand for used electric cars will likely stay proportional if not modestly exceed the growing supply of used electric so...used electric car…
“Was the C8 built with an EV in mind, or will the all-electric Vette be something else entirely?”
Both. E-Ray will get the LT2, Zora will get the LT7 (LT6 + 2 Turbo).
The market for pure ICE enthusiast cars is not going to cool off much anytime soon. Even the impending recession is not going to have much of an affect.
I am probably in the minority (definitely, on this site) on this, but I am of the belief that prices are never coming back down. At least not any noticeable amount. A new baseline has been set.
Pragmatically, there is going to be a market for performance hybrids for quite some time, it really is the better solution than full electric if you’re going to drive a car hard and you care more about handling than a 0-60.
