Quarter mil... for an '88 M3. The article is pretty sarcastic.

A good friend recently bought an E46 M3 on BAT. Since then we’ve been watching a few other M3 auctions (pandemic entertainment). I watched that one live the winning bidder had an aviation related monicker. I think it was something like SouthFLWings. There were 3 very interested parties until the end and the price climbed from 130k to 250k in a crazy 30 min back and forth. It’s a beautiful car and I guess worth that price to the bidder, but some people have more cents than sense.

I've been seeing the new Vette around town, that thing is going to be pretty popular.

I imagine after 2 or 3 years of refinement it'll be a Ferrari eater. Such a nice sports car.

A pro racer's take on the Miata: https://youtu.be/2n77AWaNJ4Q

Another guy's opinion on why it's a better sports car than a Mustang GT500:

I haven't seen one in person yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I've never been a huge Vette fan, but this one definitely got my attention. Incredible amount of performance for the price. Wish I could get it in stick, though*.

Do they have a new Vette there? A short drive for me and I’d like to see one.
