Thanks for sharing. So there are 8 of these now operational, are they being restored just out of historical interest? I can see how 1 or 2 running Big Boys are awesome, but 8 of these giants is a lot. Are they distributed for historical rides in various locales?

Pretty much what I wanted to ask.

Wow, they’ve even adopted LR’s product naming strategy, “Sport” for the smaller, less capable car.

It’s ironic that a car designed to rival the Wrangler, is fitted with tires named Wrangler.

Haven’t been burnt by my 4C yet, and I’m 2 years in on a car that is now 5 years old. Just regular maintenance.  Drives and looks like nothing else on the road!

I suspect the Wrangler itself (specifically, the Unlimited which starts at $31k) comprises a lot of the unintended competition for the Gladiator.

You seem to be in Hong Kong an awful lot by Old Jeep Enthusiast standards.

This thing looks like a minivan in denial, for people who are in denial.  If people bought cars and owned their choice in cars, this would not exist.

It’s refreshing to see XEs on the road.  Here in California everybody defaults to the BMW 3 series because their lease terms are so attractive.

One of the most timeless Camry designs ever. They weren’t hot by any standard back in the day, but they’ve aged very well.

A certain crowd just wants attention. The price bracket of the car doesn’t matter, but it’s guaranteed that the lower end will have far more members—that’s just the nature of wealth.

Yeah, this is basically all the tasks of being a parent.  I think she forgot eventually helping out with college applications.

The best wheel diameter for a normal car is the smallest that will fit over the brakes and suspension arms.

I would start with $20k for repairs if the car is in decent condition.

Glad to help. Ugh......really miss that Ferrari noise. Need to get back into one in the next few years!

I don’t really plan to repeat cars but the F355 was more than worth the trouble for me.  Childhood dream come true!

No, because the engine is in front so the belts can be done in situ, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily cheap to maintain. The 90s Ferrari engines, including this one, are known to have inconsistent valve guide quality. Checking or otherwise fully understanding the condition and history of your prospective car’s…

From having owned another F-car model from its era, the 456 is old enough that the people who couldn’t afford to (or didn’t want to) maintain them have already dumped them. There are fewer and fewer ratty 90s Ferraris left as people who really liked them as children are beginning to be able to afford them, buy them…

I think the point here is that it’s the fact that he bought something else that is preventing him from buying this particular car.

You have to admit, BMW’s sales strategy is genius. Buyers won’t care that they are paying the same money for a smaller car if it has a unique look and it’s spread over 60 months.
