I think mid-engined Corvette will probably go the route of Ford GT: very limited production number, super expensive, more of a halo than a real car, beyond the reach of middle class retiree.

Wish I had bought one back when they were still affordable. Instead I spend good money on a used E60 M5, figuring the 5 seats are more practical. Silly me; at 10MPG, it ain’t practical at all!

Given the fact that they bought it as soon as it came out, I assume they must have paid MSRP. So their cost is $35k + 6% tax = $37.1k in 2002 money, which is about $50k in 2017 money.

A rant:

I didn’t even bother with warranty. Can’t ditch them fast enough.

Brake rotors! There is definitely a difference. But the difference isn’t correlated to price.

You people elected Trump!!! And you think Chinese government is bad. L O L

We should go to Daily payment. It’d be like a rental car that you pay everyday!

Democrats: nobody should have to work!

No. Get off the road to avoid unnecessary confrontation.

Get off the road!

Good. Now I can finally ask the driver to get off their lazy ass and start heading my way, instead of sitting there for 5 more minutes.

F1 is not exciting.

One way to control the power is to cap the amount of fuel, so you can’t go much beyond 500hp while still finishing races.

Even that isn’t enough. Cashier checks can be cancelled by the original purchaser.

Didn’t Dodge ProMaster van uses some kind of automated manual transmission?

The Topanga mall has a Costco in it. So it’s like cheating.

I stopped by a mall on a Sunday afternoon a couple months ago. I had saved up a few hundred bucks to spend on kids’ clothing. To my surprise, most stores were already closed at 5pm. So guess where the money went instead? Online stores!

Good deal! In Porsche land, there’ll be 6 additional trim levels between the 475HP SRT and the 707HP Hellcat. Additionally, the top trim would cost $179,000, and you can’t buy one because and you don’t bring enough to the brand image.

Why are the exhaust pipes soooooo long?
