Why aren’t all of you seeing the real opportunity here? Up to TWO YEARS of track days on your TDI with no repercussions!! Turn that bad boy in with your brakes still on fire and the cords showing through the tires...

Nice writeup, had your same frustration with image view-ability creating my tribe yesterday... my tribe is called Joyride (only 1 letter acronym!)

Yeah, never thought you’d respond to this. You’ve got dozens of people asking what bag of money you fell into and all you have to say is some bs work hard platitude. How anyone can do a YouTube video called “How I can afford six cars” and talk for 30 minutes and never explain at any point what you do is beyond me.…

I’m all for #goals! And priorities (fast cars... it’s really just fast cars). I’m also for full disclosure in “journalism”.

Being tight lipped also extends to Hyundai’s staple 10yr,100k warranty... most people think buying a 2nd hand Hyundai is a safe bet because WARRANTY.

Everything about Australia makes it look so easy to get into hooning.

Screw the car buying advice column. Explain how I can make $36,000 of funds appear... or as you say, “present themselves,” in short order, sooner than expected in my life. And you still bought the house, right?

Nice to hear some M&A news (real news) on Jalop. Great post Andrew, thanks for the info.

And went from a “minus” bank account in Jan, to having $36k in cash by October... which is no more than 10% of cash on hand (supposedly)... and he still bought the house!

Screw the car buying advice. Explain how I can make $36,000 of “funds present themselves” in short order, sooner than expected in my life. I’ll wait!

"GM initiated a build-to-order sales model in Brazil for its Chevrolet Celta economy car over eight years ago. In 2008, the Celta was among the sales leaders in Brazil.⁽³⁾ At the time of the Celta’s introduction, an auto analyst said that build-to-order could result in “spectacular improvements in the company’s…

Second thought on this. The bill is written for “low volume manufacturers”. So that rules out the OEM car makers. However, if a big car company wanted to test the legal grounds here, they could pretty easily file papers for a new company that fits the low volume distinction, build less than 500 replicas per year off…

Excellent point. Great question to explore... Could OEMs build a brand new 1950s/60s/70s whatever, from original out of production schematics, drop in a CARB compliant motor, slap a VIN on it and sell it as a replica right out of their showrooms??

Awesome choice. I picked up my 08 WR250R last year with only 4K miles on it. Go grab a larger tank, I can go 180 miles between fill ups! Also, the more comfy seat is required material for any ride over an hour. Other than that, bark busters up front and a skid plate used to be all I needed to trail ride on my way into…

Ah I saw the right hand drive car in the video and thought Euro-only again. But you’re right, this Evora 400 is the US comeback car.

+100000000

Oh yeah, AND they have to figure out how to make a car that complies with US federal safety regulations that doesn’t suck to drive. So there is that elephant in the room.

Lotus has bigger problems than their model lineup. They could build an in-house SUV, clearly the most desired car in the world, and still be grasping for public acceptance.

You know how a sommelier enjoys a perfectly aged wine, and can sniff out all the subtle fruits and soil that make it unique? Meanwhile, millions of others could be fooled into thinking their $11 YellowTail is the finest wine from Bordeaux?

The author’s point is that if you want to be able to buy a pure car today, you should be able to. Some manufacturers used to believe in that purpose, but those that still claim to are mostly bullshitting.
