They are track superstars but with no soul.

Most of my driving is with wife and kids in the car. It's the same reason why I sold my Vettes. They were rotting in the garage.
Also, having to support 4 people with my income restricts my budget.
If I was single, my car budget would be like $300k and right now it's $150k

An extra 300 grand and my sales guy at the John Deere shop would be happy to see me.

The c8's look completely out of place with those cars.

With $300k, you could probably buy the entire store.

You must have never walked into a JD store.

I indeed haven't..

My local tractor store might not be JD but just look at the prices of used.
Just one item like the 2022 Caterpillar 330 blows your budget.

I see a few fugly Teslas and lots of other cars, most of which aren't "Supercars." Looks like a typical car show.

Agreed. Some are flat out ugly

(part of the reason I don't want a C8. Not impressed with the looks)

John Deere salesman laugh at a 100K EV.

Hell, you can spend 100K rigging a new 100HP tractor.

My want is more realistic:
75 HP Cab HVAC tractor 60K
Skid Steer 80K
Mini Excavator 70K
Diesel side by side. 30K
Enough of that 300K left for rigging and implements. Maybe a new deck-over trailer with hydraulic ramps.

Agree

I do not possess the proper attire, shoes or jewelry to attend today's car shows.

There was a time car shows had real cars, engines with add-ons, wrenched by the owner, manual trans, slicks, a few with points and condenser, an exhaust that would loosen your fillings.

Today, you have nothing but overpriced foreign crap, with a wrap, and ugly ass rims.

$500k will get you a nice used combine...

Not here in flyover country. We have a weekly event in Elizabeton, fundraising for underprivileged kids, well attended with 40s, 50s and 60s gems.

Shit they charge 25% extra just for the color.

I don't either and I'm retired from the auto industry after over 4 decades.

I could not care less about any of those cars, as they do not interest me any more than a Swatch or pair of expensive sneakers would.

[mrvette]

When even the newer style Vettes don't interest me, and I have seen some pix of other cars as competition.....I makes me wonder about GM.....

but when I drive my '72 customized vette around with that rarely seen deep rich metallic custom GREEN paint, the car gets tons of compliments on most every trip......they ask me what year it is and I say '72 and I tell them there is NOTHING stock except the chrome bumpers.....NOTHING, they go quiet with a grin..
