First one I've spotted in the Wild

Wife’s is slated to be built week of 12/6. Getting excited. Might sell it like the one I saw on Mecum auction the other night. Seller turned down $87,000

Local stealer had one for 70k and it was gone in two days. I’ll never trade with those vultures!

Allegedly, they can only market adjust once customer refuses delivery of order. As in, it took over a year we bought something else…..I’ve seen em north of 100k with mileage on them. It’s nuts

I never have understood why anyone would pay double the list price on a production car. In a year or 2 there are gonna be 100k of these on the road and the moron that paid $100k for a $40k-$50k outerbanks edition is gonna lose their a$$. Then again if you can afford a $100k car you probably don't care. It's not like these things are limited editions. It's fords answer to the Wrangler. If they don't have major mechanical issues or recalls there will be hundreds of thousands of these out there real
soon once production ramps up.

Agreed. They’ll only make approximately 35,000 this year. If yours ain’t #1 off the assembly line, they’ll be just like camaros

X3 is toast.  Turbo fault causing it to stay in limp mode. Repair estimate 1.5k, no guarantee it’ll work.  

Waiting for V5 after plate swap and a classified ad follows. Spare repair value is about 2k. 

Keeping Saab for a while as it’s what I always wanted and Alli’ loves the SLK.

A few years ago I had to attend mandatory 'staff safety training', whilst still serve & protecting.
The training officer warned the group not to approach electric cars involved in a collision, no further detail than that. 
I reminded the strictly office based training officer that our primary purpose was to save life and that his advice needed significant thought before future utterance.

Saw a beautiful AMG GTR today.  Old man drove it like a ***** ape.  Sounded so good!

Not that color but that is my dream car. Would want it in a hard top black series coupe in Green Hell Magno.

That green color is amazing.  I think it is the best color option too.

The picture isn't it, but I saw a camo wrapped Ferrari a week ago that looked just like it.  I'm terrible at being able to pull out the phone and snap a pick while driving.  Actually, that's a good thing.

Ozzie_Isaac

Dig the gasser look on the pickup.

A few at Hilton Head today, I think the red ones would fit in my garage. Not sure how the corvair would fare in a collision, the trunk is stuffed with batteries as well.

That Corvair is so cool.  Amazing car, especially for its era.  The Ferrari is so beautiful.  I wouldn't put it in my garage, that would go in my living room.

When I worked in the drawing office at JCB (pre-CAD) there used to be Ferraris and a Maserati 250F in the DO and also in the service department reception area (was the old main reception). Very cool.

@BigreenGreg

 Was that an original 250 Testa Rossa? Hard to believe you could get that close if not a kit car. I believe an unrestored one sold for around 40 million. Such a cool car. One of a few diecast cars I had as a kid.
