As I compiled this week's list, reality loomed. I found a bumper crop of interesting vehicles. Stuff's out there. But near-term part price jumps seem inevitable. Creating a parts budget (from the gitgo) is a wise step.

The bigger story here is that Mark apparently owns an iX now!?!?

I'm buying a trailer and specing it out. I would like to be able to store a car in there, along with other stuff that shouldn't see extreme temps (I live in TX). I just dont want it to get much over ambient (105ish is the hottest it gets typically) and keep it above 30.

Does anyone make a vent that opens/fans turn on based on temp? And the same for heat (that's an easier problem- solar + 500w amazon heater would do just fine.

Car sales got off to a good start in 2025 before the import tariffs were imposed, with particularly strong results for pickup trucks and hybrid SUVs.

Here's some of my personal examples:

The MGA roadster and Ford F-series truck both driven by in the lead vocalist in the Australian version of Icehouse's "No Promises" music video.

The '69 Plymouth Fury briefly shown at the beginning of REM's "Driver 8" video.

The '57 Ford Fairlane shown in Bruce Springsteen's "One Step Up" video.

The green VW Beetle repeatedly shown in the chase scene from "Bullitt".

The Opel Kadett wagon that gets its door taken off by the fleeing Pontiac Grand Ville in "The Seven Ups".

The 1959 Buick Electra convertible driven by Ric Ocasek in the Cars' "Shake It Up" video.

The old Peugeot 504 sedan burning itself to the ground near the beginning of Sade's "Smooth Operator" video.

The Miami Vice episode where four homicidal / suicidal lunatics first terrorize the city in a stolen '69 Plymouth GTX convertible, and later try to run over Tubbs with a 71 / 72 Cadillac Fleetwood.

A Magnum, P.I. episode where two Native islander thugs in a ratty Dodge Challenger try to take out Magnum.

The Austin or Vauxhall sedan flambeing itself in The Smiths' "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" music video.

Do these ring a bell with anyone? What ones do you remember?

Seems like an excellent competitor to the 330i.

More power, a LSD, the same ZF8 transmission, full leather seats, a super nice interior that isn't just a huge iPad, incredible styling, handling is amazing, really awesome steering wheel, and dealers are discounting them like crazy to the point where it is significantly cheaper.

I dont get why it isn't more popular, seems like an absolute steal and everyone on here would be picking them up?

This is somewhat surprising given that the entire market for muscle cars has basically been given to Ford after the discontinuation of the Camaro and Challenger.

However most are likely to point to the cost of entry being the real sticking point. The average person interested in a mustang is much younger than the average new car buyer, and with the sharp increase in prices, the target demographic are likely being priced out. I know when I bought my GT in 2021, I paid $35,500 for it, and now that's basically the entry price for a new ecoboost.

It's also worth mentioning the used market is likely cannibalizing a lot of new sales. Ford did very little to differentiate the new model from the outgoing one, so many buyers are flocking to the used market to get cars at a discount. For the price of a new GT with minimal options, you can get a lightly used Mach 1 (likely still under warranty). Alternatively, you can get a used GT for the price of a new ecoboost. It makes you wonder if Ford had actually put more effort into the S650, would we be seeing this same sales trend?

I haven’t tried this new one yet, but I recently drove a ‘22 JCW and found it to be absolutely wonderful.

I have poked around a ‘25 in the showroom though and the details on this thing are really nice, especially all the interesting uses of fabric on the interior. Also, the optional JCW 964 Style wheels are utterly stunning, easily one of the best OEM wheels available today.

There’s hardly any coverage of these cars in the media compared to GTI, Elantra N, etc but I reckon they’re a sneakily good option if you don’t live on a spec sheet and can deal with carrying either, people or cargo but not both.

What do you think? What are missing cars? And if you have any idea for another game mode let me know! :)

I've been wanting to see this lap since they first showed the Spéirling at the track. This thing is staggering. Every time I watch a video of it I have to check to see if my video settings are on normal. It actually looks like quite a handful on a bumpy track. Not as easy to drive as some of the other videos on smooth surfaces suggest. But it looks like such a rush if you get it right.

Starting to see quite a few of these around, they look the part, but missing the heart of the TRX. Nitpicky, but I'm not a big fan of 'RHO' sounds like a type of hash oil.

Thomas created his own personal long-term old vs. new by leasing a new Land Cruiser and buying an old one. The vanity plate is probably the best part.
