Saying it’s better looking than a Tesla is like saying you have the best STD.

Wait, I thought they were going all gas-powered for this one?

Spoken like a true fascist.

Yup. That was right around the time I was looking at one also. I think I may have even read that very article when it was published. UGH.

That is an extremely true statement.

“Unless a car is blocking a fire hydrant, hospital entrance, or making a road impassable...

If they’re a hazard or making a road impassible then tow them. If they’re illegally parked then fine them. If they don’t pay, then send it to collections. But arbitrary confiscation of a person’s vehicle is unacceptable.

No individual shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.

“Unless a car is blocking a fire hydrant, hospital entrance, or making a road impassable...”

As a resident of NYC, I believe that all NYC tow drivers should be lined up against a wall and shot.

I mean, this seems to be what they’re trading for. If you look on Hemmings or at the auctions you’ll see that asking prices are pretty much in line with these values.

Okay that’s fair. I didn’t realize that’s where it was.

Ditto. I actually considered a Countach about six years ago; found it on a business trip down in Texas. Very good condition, full records, excellent car. Wanted $115,000 for it, which was a lot of money for me but not impossible.

It’s just the new look of the incognito window. I restarted Chrome yesterday afternoon and there it was.

Unless a car is blocking a fire hydrant, hospital entrance, or making a road impassable, there is absolutely no reason to tow a car, ever. EVER.

lol... So then don’t buy one. But this is indeed where the market is.

Yep, basically. Any cool poster-worthy car from the ‘80s is now in the stratosphere. The graph for the Countach is almost as fun:

Yeah, this guy might be optimistic by about ten grand, but he’s in the general ballpark. Cars like this require very thorough inspections anyway, and every issue becomes a deduction. Speculating on the exact dollar amount it could sell for is meaningless without a lot more information than an ad can provide.

Hagerty is indeed an insurance company. I have Hagerty insurance, in fact.
