No love for the MGA at all? The car that was originally designed as a Le Mans prototype and then turned into a road car? That made sportscars accessible in the US post-war, and made club racing popular?

Thanks, but no thanks. The opportunity cost is too high, I’m looking at investments with greater utility.

He may have some storage, but it’s likely already full of cars. He would need another space to store this one, and the average cost of a parking space in Monaco is €377K, per (https://news.mc/2021/02/07/garage-space-may-cost-as-much-as-a-supercar/).

I agree completely that they do. But I also think it’s not necessarily a good way of choosing a vehicle, because you are liable to end up sacrificing at least some of what you *want* in a vehicle in an effort to get everything you *might* need. And as a result everyone drives pickups with the bed empty/SUVs with a…

Your example is almost the definition of a corner case. 

An appreciating asset with consistent associated costs. Between storage, maintenance and insurance costs, is the price of F40s rising faster than those costs?

A sensible idea.

Precisely. The arms race approach to automotive safety ends up with everybody losing.

I would counter by suggesting that it wasn’t at all clear, and that if you wanted to know that has changed recently you should have asked that question.

The negative (from JLR's perspective) would be that they're not getting any money for it, I suppose.

It truly is a labour of love.

You literally asked “What has changed over the several decades this occupation has existed?”. Why are you surprised that he explained what has changed over the several decades the occupation has existed in response?

The Team Formerly Known As Sky (and less Formerly as Team Ineos)?

They didn’t license it.

Then Kinja immediately unfixed it. SMH.

Nah, we’ve got that rule here in Oz now (with a few exceptions). Used to be 15 years but that has changed over time.

They’re friendly little buggers. Those fangs will go through boot leather (or your fingernail). They will chase you. If you find them floating in your pool, don’t pick them out with your hands because they’re probably still alive (they can hold an air bubble to breathe) and they’re also likely to be pretty pissed-off.

They did, briefly, at least on Sky’s coverage, when they went through the starting grid.

But think of The Show!

He doesn’t say how many miles he’s driving, but we can determine a range of implied distance because we know how much he claims to spend and the cost of his gas and his claimed efficiency
