Re: Got Cars

No attraction for me at all, going to all that trouble, expense, and danger for a tea cup? Ask Grannie to get you one for Christmas or your birthday. They didn't mention the fishing nets, long lines or sharks. Lot of Great Whites around Cape Cod and Nantucket the last few years.

Re: Got Cars

I've been seeing a lot of pictures of E-cars getting juiced up in the field, accompanied by snide remarks about gas and diesel to charge them.
The car can be a scientific milestone, give it to people to use and duh. How many cars have you seen run out of gas ? Can you say human error boys and girls?

Re: Got Cars

I'd be nervous steering with a tiller for that narrow tracked trike on a smooth closed course.
But on the public roads at speed, I'd have to change my pants.


Gooding held their first auction in Europe and the cheapest of the top 10 cars was $2 million bucks...


Granted their were some rare historically expensive cars, but it shows the rich people haven't been hurt very much by the business slow down. You could say well they already had that money, but the point is they were willing to part with it for an old car too expensive to actually drive.

Case in point, Road&Track Magazine borrowed a bunch of sports cars at Lime Rock to compare from an 1949 MG TC to a 2020 Miata.
One of the cars was a 1995 Mclaren F-1 currently valued at $20 million dollars.
These guys average in their low 40's, drive a lot of vehicles, a lot of miles, every year, but were all nervous about fucking up a car that valuable.

In he GM Heritage collection, an electric 1966 Corvair. The battery tech wasn't even close at that point.

Re: Got Cars

Pretty much displaced by big delivery trucks now, but sedan delivery was a popular choice for parts houses and salesmen with samples.

Re: Got Cars

These were common when I started driving and I always liked them.
Didn't know there were so many.

Re: Got Cars

Yeah, the business coupe was smaller than the sedan delivery, I had a '37 Ford BC.
