2008 SRT8 The Price Is Right ?
Its the air bags, all the smog stuff, power windows-which is standard on all most all cars because you can't crank the other windows down wearing a seat belt-insurance company's forced alot of this stuff.
I won't pay more than $22-$23,000 for a new car. We got a new Buick Lacross for that much. Yeah its not too fast but even after you cough up the extra $14,000 its not over. Insurance cost more, plates cost more. Its just not worth it. The Buick can go a steady 75-85 mph-me driving-and get 24 mpg-does start running out of steam after that but I don't see too many cars passing me.
The cars that can loft around 100 mph don't because the drivers are too afraid of getting a ticket, which would up their sky high insurance even more.
