Boris Johnson on the Ferrari F430, left here for no particular reason.

Enzo Ferrari has to think about his whole life before a race.

Although, he’s already used to a Comet hauling him around;

Canonically, a SHO, although I assume he’s replaced it in the past 30 years. Assuming brand loyalty, an Explorer ST seems like the closest thing in Ford’s lineup.

Microtransit also isn’t a new idea, and it didn’t really stick last time either.

Both “TAKE HIM ON THE OUTSIDE!” and the pre-ride movie with Kyle Petty going on about his good side are seared into my brain nearly 30 years later (I’m assuming it was the exact same ride at every Paramount park, we had one in the Toronto area at the time).

There are dozens of us who miss our BlackBerry keyboards! Dozens!

The Giulia - the 2.0T isn’t the most soulful, and the Quadrifoglio is a bit overkill. There’s gotta be room for something between the two (pay for development from the car reviewer Italian swear jar after it launches).

Yeah, if the current Ecoboost is as quick as a 5.0 from about a decade ago (and pretty much any GT that came before that), there’s easily room for something a bit slower.

May anyone who puts too many heating controls (HVAC, heated seats and steering wheel) through touch screen be forced to sit in the cold weather testing room with ski gloves duct taped on.

Now playing

Oldsmobile got Leonard Nimoy and his daughter a couple years later as well. Missed opportunity that neither of them sang the jingle (or, whatever you call whatever Shatner does).

I’ll say this much about the Prowler - it’s roughly tied with the Lamborghini Diablo as the official car of the 90's Scholastic Book Fair, and that styling does some heavy lifting.

So, took a second, priced out a US spec Camry and Silverado ($29k, $51k), and from Auto Trader asking prices (not WS residuals, mind you, just asking prices), 5yo Camry is about $20,500 avg, Silverado is about $31,800 - the monthly dep is pretty equivalent to what I suggested earlier.

TCO includes depreciation. Now, I’m working with Canadian MSRP’s/Residuals, but a Camry SE over five years depreciates at roughly $235/mo ($173 USD), while a mid-range Sierra is at about $425 ($315/USD). Add in fuel expense ($137/mo for the Camry as per EPA, $242 for the Sierra).

A membership to the Calimari of the month club?

Do you have a dealer license? I'm thinking Adesa or Manheim, although I'm admittedly not up to date on current pricing, and it's outside the scope of anything I deal with. 

Yes! That was my assumption, and that they could easily split to cover multiple branches of the same route.

Probably that the closest to clean 90's Accords sell at auction for $1500 or so, and there’s just not data to substantiate an oddball case like this. Like, if someone's grandparents show up with an old Accord they've owned since new and only drive a couple times a week to groceries and pickleball, they're likely not

Everyone knows the prancing Moose is Volvo, although it looks mid-engined, and it looks like the only mid-engined Volvos seem to be buses. Maybe they’re working on something modular, which is why they’ve got three?

Yup, decreased availability is pushing holding periods up (50k is very common like you say), and it’s looking like it’ll stick like that for at least a couple years.
