Car Talk 5: The Juice is Loose!

[Tar]

Lots of people here, saw a gen 2 viper in black on chrome, sounded awesome and shortly after that a green 392 Chally with something catback mounted in place of it's factory exhaust.

[goIftdibrad]

Saw almost the same config over here. White, black wheels, Z51 with the taller wing..... and maroon stripes up and down the center of the car.

It looked okay, but honestly needs a good amount of lowering. The ass end looked like it needed about 3-4" pulled out of it so it wasn't 4x4 spec.

Once you load 2 bags of clubs in, it settles down.

[CaleDeRoo]

New one only fits one bag iirc

Let’s be real though. You’re not bringing Nance to the country club with you. That time is for you and the boys to hang out in polo shirts and bitch about the wives and pound a few crispy Coors lights while comparing the whiteness of your new balances.

I’m going to make a bold prediction here.
Mustangs
Challengers
Cameros
Are going to tank in value the most out of all sports cars due to Rona, because they are piloted by the most economically unstable demographic....

I need a new/nearly new SUV for the wife. There's got to be a few out there popping up. I need to start tracking this, got three months left on the Touareg lease.

I'd love a Chally in green with a rediculous motor but it's not in me to own. Too "economical".
Around here they are often owned by especially in higher trim, dudes with Rubis on their forty-thousand dollar interlocked driveways. In lower trims its poors as far as the eye can see.

Here it’s 2x-3x old minority majorities, with boom pipes causing insane noise, driving like absolute asshats. Usually not up to hellcat levels though but rt/srt models are everywhere

With COL so hi I don't understand how that demographic can afford high trim muscle cars. Inheritance cash and right to the dealership?

[Tar]

Yeah, boomers.

Def not here

What are the Boomers driving? Low cost things like Versas?

Poorshes
Vettes for sure
Luxury s
Caddies
Lexus ES/gs/ls only

Def not “muscle cars”

C7s haven’t quite hit the sound the alarm prices yet. Give C8s another 6 months production + slow economic recovery + fall weather coming...maybe it’ll happen

C7s are low 30s now ? They haven’t dipped under 50 until the last 2 months.

Man based on car purchases I live in a poverty town.

The following old people cars in my family:

Mom: my 2004 TL
Dad: 2008 E350 bought used and out of warranty
Wife's mom: 2014 Malibu
Wife's dad: 2005 VW Beetle bought from his old lady neighbor who barely drove it

Similar patterns emerge until you start seeing upper middle class olds who do drive the really nice metal, including third vehicle sports cars and fourth vehicle classic collectibles. It's always too generalized to categorize a whole region into car buying types by demographic but we all know patterns exist. :thatsracist:

That’s an Audi A7

[D Griff]

That’s an Audi A7

is what I was thinking.

It’s nice

[troyguitar]

Looks a little small.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

That’s an Audi A7

Looks like a mix of an A7 and an S Class. I don't completely hate it either.
