Oh you’ve never done it? There’s a whole ritual involved.
More like jet engines RIPped birds apart.
The market is based on emotion, and a large part of that emotion is based on the posters that hang on the walls of little boys rooms a number of decades ago. As time progresses boys from the 80s are getting more money. What you’re describing is the logical consequence.
Two other demographic-based possibilities: 1) the new cohort in the sweet spot focuses its nostalgia and interest in the past on items besides cars, such as books, art, furniture, or tools. It may even be interested in an era that predates the surviving cars (hipsers and the turn of the century and all that). Addendum…
I hope the classic car market backslides. I couldn’t give a shit about investment or value, I just want to build up a stable of incredibly fun cars before the gubmint takes away our driver’s licenses and makes us drive around in pods. Before a wrench becomes a museum piece. “People used to FIX their own cars folks!”
Planned obsolescence - US has had it since practically day one, mayhap due to dodgy build quality, but also keeping-up-with-the-joneses new models every other year or three. BMW/Mercedes, on the other hand, woke up in the 80's and said, “hey wait, if we build cars that look the same for a decade and last for fifty…
Even the red mustang approaching in the opposite lane was wth??! That’s my job.
Oh the irony...
HA!!
$19,690 for 33 pounds??!?! Thanks a lot Brexit voters! Look at what you’ve done to the exchange rate!
Then why don’t they express the two different concepts independently? Combining predicted coverage and probability of occurrence into a single statistic seems to compromise the usefulness of the prediction entirely.
If the van didn’t want it, it shouldn’t have dressed like that.
I’m a consultant. I’ve done $20k Kias to $200,000 sports cars and stuff in between. My fee is the same for any car.
Have you ever bought a 2,000$ Corrolla? it probably has over 150k miles, smells terrible, and needs all sorts of weird repair jobs soon. ANY car does when it get high miles. There is alot of good about a brand new car that you just cant match used. Plus there’s the gas mileage. Also, being in the state of mind that…
While it’s an amazing piece of kit, I’m observing how the $130k car market is always abuzz with new and updated shinies. Unfortunately most revolutions do fizzle out after a few years, and people stop paying attention. Coupled with the fact that the real automotive social changes tend to happen at the 30-40k car price…
I think it’s not revolutionary (after the initial hype) because only a select few are able to experience it first hand. To most, it’s just another rich guy’s toy—as easy to dismiss as a Ferrari or Lamborghini if you’re not a car enthusiast.

I remember doing duck and cover drills in school but only because it gave me a prime view of Holly Lance’s sweet ass.
