Considering how your Porsche started out with that abysmal Glossy Primer Gray paint, what you’ve done with that Ocean Jade Metallic choice is only make it look infinitely better. Well done, extremely well done.

So you’re so desperate showing “racing” flicks doing well, that out of your six examples, four of them are cartoons? Yeesh.

Ford v Ferrari is the closest we’ve seen to this movie, and I can’t really picture this doing as well as that movie did. The marketing for this has been atrocious - it didn’t have a name for the longest time, and picking “F1" is absolutely idiotic because you can’t google it easily and it doesn’t fit conversations…

This is a hilarious idea and I love it. (Apple running an F1 team, that is. Not this trainwreck of a movie that will lose $500 million).

Being a car stylist and his assignment is something “fresh” for the BOW (box-on-wheels), uh, SUVs when they’re all just utterly generic boxes on wheels:

Classic.com has his asking price to be right in the ballpark. But then what’s the deal with the rear end switcho-changeo? A CO car, so is the hidden rust from salt used on the roads? And what is up (if anything) with the motor and clutch?

The 2nd gen Chargers with the ‘69 being the best looking of the three models:

The car that’s paid for--you own it free and clear by not being a debt slave to the bank.

“Thanks” to the Six Stooges on the Supremes and how they again effed over the American public with their 6-3 decision on the Chevron case:

Light mileage, great combination of paint and wheels, it is the convertible version, and asking under what Edmunds calls a fair price—NP.

Your supposition about Wall Street being that cynical about margins is probably correct.

You’re in the ballpark. The God, the Devil and Bob cartoon from 2000:

That’s too good--I’m still chuckling.

Since nearly everyone “died” in the last movie, I still say this one should be about them in hell. They have to race the devil in supernatural muscle cars to go back to earth. The title is Faust and the Furious. 

I WON’T get to see this because the nearest cinema is 5 miles away... and I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

That’s an excellent supposition—kudos. Not even checking to see if Gisele is alive when Shaw survived is an excellent point. I chalk it up to wrapping up the movie and not having the runtime to check on Gisele, get her to the hospital, blah-blah, and then wrap up the flick.

There is nowhere near enough demand for those in the US at the prices they would have to charge to maintain margins that make Wall Street happy. That is the bottom line. They can get away with it in the rest of the world because the governments make owning large vehicles unaffordable for the average person via taxation…

Before Ford killed all their regular cars, this is basically what they were doing. The Focus, Fiesta, and Fusion were all the same globally. We still get SOME of that here. The Ford Kuga is the same as the Escape in the US, and since they share the same platform as the Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Focus, most of the…

Exactly right. The Puma, Kuga and Focus are all available today as left hand drive in gas and hybrid versions. https://www.ford.de/fahrzeuge

I would consider a Telsa used if the price is right. It’s not a great car, but once you get past the initial couple years where it was assembled by drunk monkeys, the seem reasonably well built and they seem to last well, even for the early models that had the drunk monkey gang.  With a couple year old used car, the…
