I prefer the pre-facelift Cerbera, but I’ll give you a star for pulling TVR into the discussion.

You picked the wrong modern Aston. The answer is DB9.

I haven’t been following the Fauxrarri market. What’s the going rate on a complete “real” McBurnie? Last I knew they had stagnated in the mid $20k range for a couple of decades.

Individual comments will get “approved” when they are starred or replied to by someone who is “out of the grays”.  To get “out of the grays” yourself... there is no magical formula.  Just keep posting worthwhile comments.  It’s tough to get noticed for valuable contributions when you are stuck in the grays, but every

Among the things I don’t want to deal with on a project car, rust is at the top of the list.

The R129 has aged gracefully. I think this is priced appropriately, but it’s not the one I’d buy. The only reason I’d opt for the 6 over the 8 (or 12) is that the 6 was available with a 5-speed, which this one lacks.

The problem with 1000 mile range EVs is building and buying a 1000 mile range EV. That’s too much battery to be hauling around “just in case”. Too much in resources for the battery manufacture, and (more immediately important to the consumer) too much money.

EVs are not the magic bullet they are being sold as, but they are well suited as a replacement for ICE as a primary (but not only*) vehicle. For the many households that have more than one vehicle, changing one (or more) to an EV for daily use makes a lot of sense.

Donald Trump does not have a friend who owns a car that gets 38 mpg.

... and not good Batmobile vibes. Like, Schumacher Batmobile vibes.

“I would pay this much” = NP

Using my current market algorithm (“about twice what I’d expect to pay for it”) this asking price seems to fall right about where it should be.

I don’t know about “best”, but “purest” has to be the 1969 COPO Camaro.

This was never as cool as it tried to be, but it has aged into a kitsch niche. It is so uncool that it’s almost cool.

Once you get past “high voltage surrounded by water”, electric propulsion is well suited for watercraft.

Movie/TV cars. Show me your:

Now if only speeding fines were created in proportion to income, we’d be good.

Even better with AWD.

Garbage bag/bin.  Choose what fits your aesthetic sensibilities, but something as simple as a Command hook on which to hang a plastic grocery bag will suffice.
