This morning I saw my third or fourth Charger EV out on the road. I’ve now seen more of those than 400Zs.

I miss mine. But it was in worse shape than this one when I sold it.

That seems like a lot to pay for a first-year (or maybe 2nd year? 1.5 year?) C4.

Still, this looks awesome. It’s a manual away from perfection for an ‘80s ‘Vette.

I’d crash it, flip it upside down, and likely kill myself with this. But I’d go with a smile on my face the entire time.

Kids these days are so fantastically ignorant that they can't recognize the Grand Nagus himself even when granted a personal audience. The average teenager can barely name 5 or 10 of the Rules of Acquisition.

Well, it’s kinda hard to speak out against antisemitism when you’re either antisemitic yourself or at least want the support of antisemites. Tough spot to be in.

In general I think you're right, but I wonder how badly the Singers and the ICONs will get hit. I don't know about the Broncos, but the Singer Porsches have a two-plus-year waiting list. Maybe the queue drops to a year? Surely there's not that much New Money out there, is there?

I completely respect the workmanship and quality that goes into building these, but ICONs are very much not my thing. Given enough fantasy money and warehouse space I could see buying a Singer, but I just have no desire for these.

Given the effective suspension of fuel economy regulations and Dodge’s proclamation they’re going to bring back V8ing all the things, I expect the value of these things to plummet. Which is good. Then maybe I can buy one someday!
