Well, you are correct that its not just running catless. It is also due to SOME tuners running cars in a manner that increases hydrocarbon and other emissions. A small proportion of cars can have a measurable effect on air quality. Yes, measurable.

I thank EPA for the clean air I breath, being old enough to remember the chocking smog of LA back in the day. All the folks running around with catless exhaust are significantly responsible for this mess. And, while I appreciate SEMA in general, they are guilty of gross misrepresentations of...

I bought my Supra in December of 2020 and they were trying to give it away. I got it for around $7.5k under sticker. Granted, $2.5k was rebate. Wow things went to hell.

Impressive cars. I think BMW did well with the new M240i.

We sold my wife’s year old Mercedes for more tha we paid for it and above MSRP. Was that wrong?

I think the error in much of the discussion is talking at all about justification. Dealerships need no justification for setting a price for a market good. This is a car, not pediatric cancer treatments. There is a manufacturer SUGGESTED retail price, but unless there is a legally binding...

I appreciate your posts broadly, but I think you’re wrong here. I think there is a HUGE difference in providing a rational explanation versus a defense. Our OP has primarily if not entirely done the one and not the other. Also, ending a post with “full stop” is a bit much. As if there is...

Agreed.

Drove a new M240i today. That thing is a beast off the line.

I haggled and haggled (before car prices went crazy) and got my 3.0 A90 new for under $50k. But those days are clearly gone.

It certainly counts as an unlucky marsupial.

How about curb feelers and truck nuts and call it a build?

The B58 is doing well and should have support for some time to come, so that might factor in. I love the B58 (have owned two) and would get another.

I won’t pay an adjusted market price, but I understand why it makes sense for a market good. I see corvettes ordered for $75-80k by customers being sold on the used market for $95-100k. Why should a dealership sell a vehicle on the lot to a consumer at below market rate and let that consumer...

People might (might) trust their own congressional member (if they voted for them), but they must trust everybody else’s. So, it’s a measure that maybe doesn’t say much. Albeit, it’s a measure that has changes over the last few decades and that probably does have some meaning.

Yes. That’s the combination.

Makes me even more incredulous that Nissan hyped the piss-yellow Z. Much prefer the Boulder Grey. This guys reviews are ok, but wow - word salad. But still worth a view. I’m thinking this is my color.

This.

I know yellow is the launch color, but it really looks much better in other colors. I don’t think they are generating as much interest as they could.
