I appreciate the explanation. My point was the video guy was supposed to explain it. Not you.

And this scheme only works if the asset price increases. Which for supercars may be a sure thing. But the housing crash of 2008 in particular and the house+car implosion of 2024 will be because of this very practice and prices do the unthinkable - ie go down. Or the flip side, interest rates go up instead of down.

When rates go down for 20 years every Corp and poor schmuck can crank the loan outstanding but keep the same monthly payment. When rates go up, even a tiny bit and they reroll, they discover they can't make the monthly. Big oops!

Given his family business I suspect he knows a slick accountant firm or two.

.....and the house+car implosion of 2024....
Still waiting on this, but it's inevitable. Especially vehicles, you'd expect that to have crashed, but not yet.

I f*cking love it. It's a real life Hotwheels car (at least if it comes in better colors), and it's from an OEM, not the aftermarket. I'm sure it would be fun as hell on track, too.

... I mean I wouldn't buy it (even if I could afford it), but I love it for, you know, other people.

Blanton’s Bourbon man! I’ve been drinking!
Love Blanton's and as well as all of those various cool horse stoppers and forget just how many different examples of horse stoppers that Blanton came out with?

Bought some cases of Crown Royal XR Red back in 2007 and down to my last case and probably will give it to one of my grandchildren who can enjoy it as much as I have over the years!

Did Ford announce curb weight on this or???
It has to match Porsche GT4RS, GT3, GTxxx, etc
I mean GT4RS is like 500hp at 3200# for $185k.
Difficult to match corner speed with weight of S650 chassis even stripped.

It must run a 1:18-1:20 or less at Harris Hill Raceway and 2:08-2:14 at COTA to be in league with:
GT4
GT3
GT3RS
C6Z06 stripped caged
Turbo Miata Duratec

Tightest and fastest (F1) reference tracks within an hour of each other. I dont think they posted the Honda CTR times from Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez or the non stock car....

Is this just going to be a carbon mustang looking shell on a tube chassis for 300k?

It’s really Disney’s fault for the 8 foot ladder wings 😂

Edit: and I love this movie by the way and my son watched it a million times when he was younger. He still watches it from time to time at age 14.

Is it the Buick fender styling cues? Or the ricer spoiler?

I actually like the car, it’s the way the wing is mounted to the C-pillar…it just doesn’t sit right with me. Not that I can afford one to complain about 🤣
