    Since it's the weekend, a bit nonsense about our most depreciating* and 'losing' assets. But we only live once, and need to have fun at times, and admittedly, cars can be fun. We mostly hear about the 'lambos' and ferrari's**, but it also depends on what is 'ala mode' in your peer group or regional area your living. For example, I'm from a northern European country and the most popular (and not the most expensive btw) cars are basically range rovers and mercedes g:

    The SUV's. Cayenne was populair, but lost popularity -probably to the macan.

    What are the most populair car's in your region? And what would you drive when nothing else matters?

    *This is not always true. I once had a collegue who bought ferrari's and maserati's and could resell with profit because he knows the market (no he didn't used elliot waves)

    ** The coolest car I've ever seen though is the Maybach 6: maybach6.png

    There is something like 20 Rivians in my neighborhood. The HOA published a survey and 35% of households owned an EV. Average home value is $2.2MM. Rover styling for an (ugh) SUV is very good. Like an rivet-less airplane. The transition from steel to glass is fantastic.

  4. vette3.jpg Might be biased but I still think this classic is on the high end of auto styling. ;)

    '69?

    My uncle had an early 70s with the big block. It was terrifying at speed. It just floated. Zero road feel and tons of flex due to ragtop.

    I have a 72 coupe small block. All original - including a factory flaw (fully documented by the selling dealer). Only 35,000 miles.

  10. Yep, 69. Bought it from a neighbor a few years ago. I like the earlier years of C3 the most. Mine is just a base 350. Yeah the handling is questionable at best. I saw where someone said "they handle like a station wagon with a load of lumber tied on the roof." :D
