I think it's more because the morons in upper management insisted on building big huge gashog trucks as theyr'e main inventory eventhough they new there was a gas crunch coming.

The second thought was that I may soon be the proud owner of a Collector's Edition car that is out of production and may become costly to service and maintain.

My last roadster was an Austin Healey 3000 Mk III. Deja vu all over again?

My last roadster was a Austin Healey 100-4. Built it from a rolling shell. boy did I have to do a lot of scraping to find parts.
Wish I still had it.
