And in Tavarish's range (again, as the patron saint of the depreciation curve) - for $100K you can pick up a low mileage Lamborghini Gallardo, a Ferarri 430 F1 coupe, etc, etc.

No argument, but that completely contradicts the line that Tavarish wrote (that I took exception to).
Well written, as usual. I do take some exception with the statement "looks every bit as exotic as anything three times its price." As you are the patron saint of the depreciation curve, I'm sure you are well aware of what $180K buys you on the used market - and it's a LOT. One of the executives at my company daily…
"Us" as in people who are too lazy to shop for their own cars, let alone wrench on them, or (gasp) change your own gears? Good - you wouldn't like what I would write anyways.
Absolutely. I have no interest in reading what Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld has to tell me about car buying, since they live in such a radically different tax bracket and lifestyle than 99.999% of us.
That makes him officially not a "car guy". I suggest that he should write articles about his marriage and his toddler, since that's what he has "time and priorities" for.
Tom McParland writes a lot in "CarBuying", he is a car broker by profession. I was frustrated reading his drivel about why someone wouldn't have the time to actually shop for a car for themselves and hand over $500 for a broker to make that decision for them - but the fact that he doesn't even have the time and…
I loathed these in high school, because every rich kid with car enthusiast parents got one of these (or an Integra) for his 16th birthday/graduation. However, ANYTHING fun to drive, that clean, relatively reliable with a manual transmission for $3K is a NP.
"Time and priorities". I agree - after this declaration, I intend to never waste my time reading anything car related you've ever written again.
My dad taught me to wrench on cars, I still own the 1959 PV544 that we rebuilt before my 16th birthday (I'm 40). I do not intend to deprive my son of the opportunity I was given.
"XK8 with an LS2 and a Manual Tranmission"? Oh hell yes.
Considering how thick and well laid the paint on my 1997 XJ6 VDP was, I can't imagine how much abuse it takes to sun fade the paint to this. NP just because it *IS* an XK8 for under $2000, but damn - that's rough.
Yes, you can. When my father passed away last year, I sold his one owner with all records, manual transmission Polo green over tan 1994 Corvette with 65K miles on it for $9000 (after listing on eBay, Autotrader, and the Corvette forums for over 3 months). The LT4 (on the 1996 only) is stronger than the LT1,…
Looks like it will compete directly with the X1 and M-B GLA, and I like the swoops. Will RWD and a Manual Transmission be offered?
Do they still make the Verano Turbo with a manual? I can't even configure one on the Buick website. I'd love to see just how many they sold that way.
Best intake ever.

My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give you.
