Uh, yeah. I know the whole thing about the baby boomers trying to recapture their youth but that's what they were saying when the Ferraris were the thing around '89-90. I think this is just crazy. In 1985, had you asked me whether I would rather own a W126 or that purple Dodge Challenger belonging to the hicks down the street (at the time)... I would have looked at you as though you were insane. Well, I guess I made *my* choice. See sig.
I agree with Hat, $50K car tops in top shape. Peter Egan of R&T agrees, BTW, I read his thoughts on the bizarre Cuda mania but I can't find the issue. It was in Side Glances.
It's just part of the rednecking of America. When I can buy a nice house in Scottsdale, a new E class, a new Mustang GT ragtop (which does basically exactly the same job as the Cuda!), and a *FERRARI DAYTONA CONCOURS WINNER* for the cost of a Plymouth Barracuda, something's gone awry!!
