I like it. It screams hey you, Mr. policeman, I'm doing 100 in a 35 zone.
I am a little surprised they didn't do something about the drivers side front rim, at least for the photos.

Another fast back rolling across the auction block. Not my favorite style Mustang, but the hardcore fans will like it.

This restomod Vette is a gorgeous color, and has a 6.2, which I think is about a 396. They even put a manual trans in, I like it, considering I'm not a huge Corvette fan.

Yikes.. If you're shopping EVs in the US, beware: Comparing numbers by powertrain in relation to the new paper, C/D wrote that on the highway test, "more than 350 internal-combustion vehicles

than what was stated on their labels. But the average range for an EV was 12.5 percent worse than the price sticker numbers."

I think it's funny as fuck, but the reality is, it sticks out like a soar thumb, and would likely make it easier to identify. Now maybe if you had a set of those James Bond, flipping license plate things. I'm curious if it's technically *******. There are a lot of little nit picky things that are technically law, but cops let them slide.
The 007 license plate is *******, but I don't think there are any laws preventing you from replacing a logo. Many cars look similar enough that the average witness would misidentify the car if it had the the wrong logo.
Pretty much every APB mentions the manufacturer, so just swapping out the logo could be a way of throwing off the scent.
Thank Barrett-Jackson as they are essentially the ones who took American Muscle Cars out of the hands of the true car guys and made them an "investment" for the rich asshats that could not even change their oil.
Thanks Craig........you bastard.

I can't understand why people always have to tinker. If it isn't broke, don't fix it! Even I'm guilty of it. I did it to an old Harley I had. I rode it the year I bought it, then that winter tore it apart, and spent about $2500 hot rodding it. This was 25 years ago, so $2500 was a lot. It would have run for a couple of years before I would have had to redo it. Shovel heads get about 25k miles on them, before certain things need to be redone to the engine.

Cost would be my guess. Just a standard non fancy 4x4 extended cab is at least $45-$50k, and that's on the low side. I didn't notice a price listed in the article, and you know what they say, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. I'll throw out the number $170,000 for that rig.

Monkey See, Monkey Do out here with everybody buying Teslas. You could drive 5 miles on the Westside and see 60 of them. My wife went out with some work friends for dinner the other night telling me 3 of the gals had Teslas. I asked her how they would admire each others' cars. I'd rather be a regular White Boy driving a nice pick-up truck.

I love my country caddilac too.
Ugh.. Don't expect cars to get "much" cheaper anytime soon. Some tidbits:
A study by economist Michael Havlin, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, found that dealer markups accounted for 35% to 62% of total new-vehicle consumer inflation from 2019 to 2022.
The generation of cars that would typically be coming off three-year leases is smaller than usual. Those who leased cars in spring 2020 have an incentive to buy them at the prices that were locked in before everything became more expensive.
