  1. The Miata does skew older, esp. those seeking the pure sports car experience....it's like an old British sports car without the unreliability and misery.
  2. In olden days, penny pinchers bought econoboxes w/ manuals because they were usually the cheapest, and got better gas mileage than automatics. That is odd about the 86, would have thought it would have similar numbers as the Miata.
  3. Couch verb 1. express (something) in language of a specified style.
  4. Reality is complex, as I like to say.
  5. One could argue that it isn't though...'world' can be used in non-global contexts.
  6. Since it's all future stuff, have to couch it in non-definite terms. Reality is complex.
  7. The earth isn't flat, it's a globe. And there is a world outside of the US, which many people seem unaware of..actual facts.
  8. Yes, 2017 was the last one I went to...went to at least a dozen between '97 and '17. I do miss the January auction scene.
  9. Hmmm...I wonder if GM will display one at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale in January. I may be out there then, visiting my client's office in Scottsdale.
  10. The Cleveland show isn't until March, so yes, you have a chance of seeing one before me. And the Cleveland show is a dealer show, so there may not be one there.
  11. I'm really looking forward to seeing the C8 in person...guess it will be a while until I do.. I think it is a design that will look better in person than in photos...I like the proportions and over all shape...lots of creases. About the only detail I really don't like in photos is the concave curve of the tail above the taillights...I think the rear would have looked better if the deck had been flat or slightly convex across.
  12. Higher than the Bentayga starting price, less than the Urus...Ferrari's will probably be higher...
  13. Interior looks great..will be interesting to see how it turns out.
  14. I like the styling of the Guilia quite a bit, esp. the front with the offset license plate. I like the interior styling. Sounds like the quality and reliability isn't the greatest...but from what I've read, they a seriously fun car to drive. Like a BMW 3 series before BMW lost it's focus...
  15. I'm just going to enjoy it as a movie and not over analyze it... I know it's not a documentary. There have been plenty of those over the years, along w/ books. Going to see it in my local theater w/ the huge reclining assigned seats, THX sound and big screen will be fun.
  16. The problem with shopping at local retailers is I'd have to leave the house and deal with crowds, deal with parking lots, etc. Ordering from my phone or computer is so much more efficient for me. Content comes to me, rather than me going out and seeking content. And Prime is great for streaming movies and tv shows. Though I do enjoy trips to Ace Hardware and Home Depot for home stuff and don't mind my local grocery.
  17. I’ve seen it from several sources.
  18. An SRX with a roofline like the CTS coupe would have been really cool.
  19. This Jeep FC double cab at SEMA is pretty cool..
  20. Most of the development occurred in the UK, and after Shelby got involved--- two years into the program--- he was flying back and forth from LA to the UK and occasionally to Detroit...weekly..(the facility was in an airport hangar at Heathrow, I believe)... from the book, IIRC.
  21. They have a bit more capital to work with today than in olden days.
  22. One sticking point that was brought up in the book and in other sources over the years was the naming of the proposed merged company. Ford insisted it would be named Ford-Ferrari and Ferrari wanted it to be Ferrari-Ford and neither would budge. Apocryphal? Perhaps.
  23. Looking forward to the movie..the book was great.
  24. Since I don't have Apple Car Play, I just start playing a playlist or album on the app on my phone and stream it to the Jeep head unit over bluetooth or USB..works fine that way. That's got to be unusual being in the Seattle area but not an Amazon customer. I've been using Amazon for 22+ years, Prime for at least 15 years. Get deliveries from them several times a week.
  25. Infinite niches, infinite crossovers..
