Likely intended as parts cars that never got taken apart and sold. I really like this picture. Its like art to me. Lighting is awesome.

Patricia, this one's for you. NSX owner checks out what for many, many years was my local road race track. I use to live just a few miles away and have too many stories that I will not share. I can proudly say I have been black flagged on it... some know what that means. I am hosting an MGA meet there on the 23rd for the vintage races.

Very cool, Dave. Will you be tracking your own vintage MGA during the event?

Parade laps at moderate speeds are allowed during the race breaks but I wouldn't even want to try that. With my now frozen ankle its really difficult to put the pedal to the metal.

FWIIW: Last year I was invited to a Hagerty event at a Motorsport park in https://www.dominionraceway.com/

We got to do several "HOT PARADE LAPS" behind the pace car around the road course. I am happy that I lined up first behind the pace car. In front of the Ferrari behind me. As it turned out "Just because one can afford one does not mean that one can drive it" I followed the pace car without ever braking, just down shifting and the the guy in the Ferrari was never even close behind me. I felt sorry for the people that were stuck behind him. We reached speeds just under triple digits. But it was still fun.

VW ousted CEO who pushed to be the world's biggest EV producer. It seems like his big goals conflicted with Board members who wanted to preserve employees, the new plans conflicted with employee retention. Ford just predicted a loss of 8k employees on the ICE side of manufacturing as it moves towards electrification.

building engines took lot of folks that the electric motors don't.
buggy whip makers at it's worst.
although the creation of an ICE has been falling off as it is.
Unless you worked at AMG, there is very little human effort left.
it is funny how, not enough engines to justify programming the robots, got turned into a badge of pride.

wow talk about having a set of cojones, dealer near me has a sprinter van
its a 2013 unremarkable cargo van with 71K miles.
they're asking 2 grand more than original sticker.

There is a lot of that happening. My Subaru dealer is offering to buy back my car for just a few thousand less than what I paid for it, 3.25 years old, out of warranty. They will put it on their lot for sale so they will need to charge the same as list price on it or even higher. I don't get it but I'm taking advantage of it as fast as I can before someone changes their mind and the market changes a few months down the road.
