    '08 verts, both Bright Blue, 4100 miles vs 5300 miles (price/value diff)?

    Thoughts on what 1200 miles does to difference in the value of those 2 cars? All options are identical as well. And for argument sake, let's say condition and any other factor is exact same. Perhaps it is a "is there a big drop in value/price when car hits 5000 mile mark?

    Depreciation of driving car 1150 miles - vs shipping - '08 Viper conv?

    Should car be DRIVEN 1150 miles for about $150 in gas ... or shipped for $950? Has 3000 miles on it - '08 conv - Viper Blue. I think you would depreciate the car MORE by driving it, than the $800 cost difference ... and by A LOT in my opinion. Anyone have a COMPELLING argument for driving...

    2008 conv VS Mercedes 55 AMG

    Car ran closer to me than I expected from 100-150 MPH. Below those speeds was a "blow away" by me (30-80 MPH especially - and when only running up to about 100 MPH), but one time from 100-150 MPH seemed to stay quite near through that 100-150 MPH speed range. Pretty sure it was mod'ed (wheels...
