That is the case with a lot of collectors cars.

These cars were the pinnacle of what I wanted...but I was 16 and couldn’t afford it and there was no way my parents were gonna get me a Supra or 300zx or RX7 from this era as my first car. But there were plenty of folks who loved them. They just couldn’t afford them (and now still can’t).

No one that wanted one could afford one. $45K (plus markups, which were a thing even then) was real money in 97. Plus, 768. Toyota didn’t even want people to buy them, they wanted them to buy the non turbo version.

Every time I hear the loud pipes argument I ask if wearing a neon pink reflective outfit with strobe lights would do the same. Honestly by the time you hear a motorcycle it is usually past you already

Me too, but GM’s recent V8s (2007 to 2021 5.3, 6.0, 6.2) have had a lot of serious reliability issues, mainly with the AFM/DOD systems and associated lifter and pushrod failure, affecting engines all the way up to 2021. This includes a lot of repeat failures, when GM replaces just one bank on the side of the affected…

Hot Take: There’s nothing wrong with the original grill (grille?). It looks great in person.

What is up with the fucking 4 foot beds? I own an old Tacoma with a 6 foot bed and its SUPER useful.... and I use ALL 6 feet of that bed. Anything shorter would be useless. Its like every time one of these small trucks come out, they get it about 75% of the way. Make it a 6 footer? Take my money. A 4 foot bed? What’s…

1 is all it takes sometimes. I'd take $8k profit for waiting a couple weeks. 

Here’s a 2012 X-Terra in northern Ohio for $15,000. It has right around 100,000 miles, but these are sturdy trucks and it’s not like a 10 mile commute will wear it out soon. You can get pretty much anywhere in Michigan with an X-Terra. It would make a great base for an overlanding rig too if you decide to give that a…

Of course there wont be another one, making an actual F1 engine even functional for a “street” car was already an almost impossible task.

Have I read this article before? I feel like I’ve read this article before.

I feel like they’ve said this before, then changed their mind, then said it again, then changed their mind. It’s like they know they NEED to do it but fail time and time again. They’re so committed to their old consumer base that they will die with them (literally).

When I bought my ZL1, I spent about two months hunting dealers to find one that would sell at MSRP.  Went to about two dozen chevrolet dealers before finding one that would put it in ~writing~. The alternative was piles of deposits and praying. I can’t blame someone for trying the “I’ll throw in offers on 3 cars I…

I followed this auction and I think I understand where the seller is coming from. For the past 2 years, it’s been incredibly difficult to get any cars, let alone limited enthusiast cars. He (or she) puts their name on a few lists and the Corolla comes up. Great—I’ll buy it.

YOOK-ter. and yes, the AMG analogy is 100% fitting

So, why not just say in 20235 Wyoming is banning all new car sales? Do they think manufactures will import ICE vehicles just for the handful of Wyoming sales?

per capita, a voter in Wyoming or the Dakotas has ~7x the voting power of a voter in California when it comes to electing presidents, 1.5x the voting power in the house and 78.5x in the senate

No. It’s for people who want a Vette but don’t want the compromises, and ‘edge of the knife’ performance of a track-oriented version. Meaning that they’re far less likely to wrap it around a street post.

I thought 80-90% of Vette usage was sitting in a parking lot while the owner explains that this particular Vette is 1 of 25 Vettes that were green with black interiors that were made on a Tuesday during a rain storm, but the only one with the optional heads up display.

“The masses” have $100k to buy a car?
