We shall see. Not that I ever expect 1075 to be for sale but it also is why le mans changed its rules. Ickx protested the le mans start AND won in that car and its the same year the 917 killed the driver who was favored to win. It has a LOT of history with it.

Not sure if its still there but in the Petersons vault is a (better) 250 GTO less than 100' from the 1969 winning GT40. I nearly lost it when the guide pointed out that it was the same one. The pedigree combined with it being the car that Ickx made his protest in makes it clearly more valuable.
I said it on reddit and I’ll say it here. Whoever bought that car for that kind of money got it for cheap. The owner of the one in the Peterson was offered $70M and he turned it down.
Reminds me of a buddy who got his last name tatooed on his lower back in 6" letters as a first tattoo. After they did the outline some burly biker covered in tats head to toe walked by and basically said something like “good luck”.
Too bad that in CA the 25 year rule means bunk. You can import one to any other state but CA wont let you register it despite running cleaner than 50% of the cars on the road.
No one except us looks at the details behind the rating. When the doofus goes to buy the car he will only see the number of safety stars it gets. If you can’t make an accurate decision based on that rating then it isn’t any good.
But it doesn’t tell me what the consumer actually needs to know. Did it get 4 stars because it had excellent safety features and pedestrian protection but scored pretty bad in crash tests? Did it get 3 starts because while it does great in a crash it doesn’t do well for pedestrians?
Already happening, have you seen NSX, FD and Supra pricing for anything approaching clean and stock?
Sadly that seems to be all it gets used for
This is really stupid. When I see a safety rating the only thing I care about is how the driver and the occupant will fare in a collision. Nothing else.
What is the cd on something like this? I thought the idea was to move away from trying to have a frontal area the size of a school bus?
I dunno, I’m pretty sure the 3rd gen Ram is what started us down this path of grill related ridiculousness.
The report from Waymo brings up a good point. Part of the testing clearly needs to be the ability to take a long trip across country without having to engage the system. Driving across flat landscapes is barely enough interaction to keep a normal person awake. Take away the only interaction they have and I can’t…

I honestly can’t believe I am saying this but the Aztek seems to have aged well. It was horrific and comical looking when it came out but it really doesn’t look much out of place with today’s proportions and corporate grills.
Wait, is Hedy the reason that Hedley Lamarr from Blazing Saddles keeps having to correct how his name is said?

They don’t become another Honda/Toyota, they become another Nissan which is far worse. Honda and Toyota have been steady in the cars they sell and only having a light sports car in the lineup for several decades.
Uhg. I can live with the lack of a rotary engine knowing all the modern day problems but I’m not sure I can forgive them if they do nothing with the RX-Vision.
