Idk man, getting parts for my 2007 saturn is starting to get tough. Headlights going for $1500, panels NLA, and more critically some of the suspension components aren’t even available aftermarket. Granted the Sky was a low production vehicle, but it is becoming an issue. Small body damage accidents are totaling cars.

Or awesome like Singapore?

While I agree that ticket prices are way too high in general, the demand is still there. COTA sold out last year, maybe again this year? GA for Vegas is sold out. Apparently, there are enough people who can afford the tickets to sell them at that price.

Seems like a fun unusual car. I quite like it, but it’s way too much money. Clean it up (get it painted nicely), detail the engine bay, take some pictures where it doesn’t look like its been abandoned in the woods, and you might get 15k for it. As presented...maybe half that?

Have they figured out how to address their battery cooling situation yet? The Bolt seems like a much better alternative to the leaf if anything because of the questionable battery life. 

Looks decent but still on the pricey side. I could see someone paying 6500 for this. Despite the knobby tires, this is still a 2wd truck so it is relegated to regular on-road work duty.

late 50s/early 60s Mercury Comet...I could never get past this rear end looking like a cartoon alien.

The rear of this is more horrendous than the front. Incredibly comfortable though, had a few as ubers.

I can’t figure out who this is for. The work looks good, but this probably won’t be a DD, and probably won’t see a ton of offroad with that price either. So its a show/weekend cruiser I guess? Plus the tacked-on dash tablet screen kinda ruins it for me. ND for identity crisis, and prob 25k too high.

Counterpoint: Grand cherokee V8. 360hp/390lbft of torque in 2013, 0-60 in the mid 6s. Sure it’s not a “on-road performance” or luxo SUV (although the SRT8 existed which was even more raucous...) but does everything very well, with good performance.

I’m guessing that rust is much deeper. The rocker panel cladding is all misshapen and pulling away towards the front wheel.

I’m gonna go NP. For a good cheap old car in nice shape this fits the bill. It’s not necessarily anything special and it doesn’t need to be. You can take it to car shows, do basic maintenance and jsut generally enjoy it without worrying about scratching a museum piece. 

Now it just looks like a sea creature coming up with a clever diabolical scheme.

If you want something special from this RR era you’d be better off with a Bentley Mulsanne Turbo in excellent condition. I’m sure there are collectors of these for simply how ugly/rare it is but you’d have to have a garage full of RRs and Bentleys before you dropped money on this.

I can agree, the heated/vented seat controls awould be nice to have as buttons or on the surface level. You get in the car, and as soon as you go to hit the screen it flashes its health and safety warning and you need to wait. Then you hit reverse and it overrides with the camera. It is quick and Android auto/carplay

These days, every rest area I have seen is overflowing with trucks, literally out past the no parking signs on the on/off ramps. Granted I am in a heavy shipping corridor (northeast) but in the last couple years since the supply chain pinch I don’t think I’ve gone by one that isn’t overflowing.

You could say the same about the M-sport (or non-bespoke Ms? however you want to put it) and now the caddy V series. I didn’t realize until this article that they were putting the V on their midrange offerings, and trying to elevate their top performance tier with the blackwing line. I’d argue that the S cars are a

I see -- the CT6 blackwing doesn’t exist but that would have been the M550 competitor I assume. The V and M packages don’t really mean a whole lot these days.

So the CT5-V is chasing BMW by bringing the performance badge downmarket (see: 540i M-sport with all of the badges)? Lame.

I’ll stick to my Kappa convertible thanks. I’ve driven my Sky year round and the convertible top is plenty insulated. It’s not like this gives you any more cargo space (I assume, I’ve never seen a edag top in person) unless you completely remove the trunk and soft top...so other than “style” and a questionable sense
