Considering a fluid change and 4 tires mounted and balanced was $55,000, this seems like a safe bet.

It’s only a prime time thing where they do that. If you watch daytime coverage, overnight on USA, etc., they do a pretty good job rehashing the history behind the competitors from other countries. NBC has to know the prime time audience. Some of why ratings are down is there’s really not many good stories this year, NB…

They had a couple GSR’s on cars and bids the last couple weeks. Don’t even look, just spare yourself.

A bonkers rare alloy-body 300SL gullwing just went for $6.9m, and that was 1/29 or so... you gotta think this is going well over $8m.

Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler, reported normal operations

Elon Musk has claimed a cost of $62 million per launch in the past

You’re gonna find a one-owner manual TT roadster with under 100k miles for $8,000? Good luck with that. 

A lot of people would rather have a single family owned car for $15k than a 5-owner for $10k. CP for me (I’m in the latter group) but this isn’t total crazy town.

I said it was like watching a pro sports all star game. It didn’t count for much, no one really wanted to get hurt, just gentlemanly racing as a show for the fans. It was sort of cool, but also pretty lame. I didn’t hate the idea but the field was too big. Maybe have it as a traveling show once during mid-season with…

That’s correct, but this is from the EPA website, which adjusted old FE to current standards shortly after they made that change. The window sticker rates them as 18/25. 

If I do some extended pulls, I can literally watch the gas gauge go down

Point of comparison for a car that was considered thirsty 18 years ago. It’s honestly an embarrassment that Subaru can’t get this together. 

I really doubt you used the fore-aft slider control - or any single control - more than 90 seconds in a 5 minute window. I’m a definite seat fidgeter too but that’s crazy talk. It doesn’t expect you to have completed the process in 90 seconds, it expects you won’t use any individual control for that long, which…

Honestly fuck Tesla forever, but if you’re in the driver’s seat and have been adjusting it for 90 seconds within the span of 5 minutes, you shouldn’t have been driving the car to begin with. Seriously, use a stopwatch to get to 90 seconds, it’s an eternity.

I must have misunderstood the point you were making, which seemed like “why does anyone spend a ton of money on ITR’s when a RSX-S is just as good.” And my point was a super low mile RSX-S isn’t gonna be $15k.

Word of advice, any rotary that has made it for this long is bound to keep going for a long time with the sort of miles you’re going to put on it as a weekend cruiser. Rotaries are bad daily drivers, but perfectly usable weekend cars. Get them now before they’re S2000 prices. 

I totally disagree with this. I might not be about to spend $100k on an Integra, but a museum quality 240Z went for what $350k last year? And they made way more 240Z’s.

A sub-10k mile RSX-S that’s so stock it has its original tires is $50k no fuckin sweat

The thing about F1 cars is it’s not the car that’s expensive, it’s actually the support. And I don’t mean tires and maintenance, I mean stuff like having the equipment to preheat the engine to operating temp just to start it. Tolerances on F1 engines are so tight they’re seized at room temp. There is a lot more that…

The lease takeover makes sense to me because then the whole business generally runs on monthly/per-rental and per-mile cash flows, instead of the more conventional assets/liabilities/depreciation AND cash flows. Ultimately calculating a residual for an owned asset that you might only want for 3 years and probably finan…
