Chris Cervenka from Modified Muscle  had a good conversation about the high sticker prices for new performance cars -- and what those high MSRPs do to car culture.

 

Have you had to put off a sports-car dream because of sticker shock?

When I was younger, it wasn't that unusual for folks on a middle-class salary to have a "toy" car. A Fox-body Mustang. A Camaro. A Miata. Something that got driven only a bit during good weather. Now, however, a Mustang GT with all the goodies prices out well into Lexus territory. It would be hard for the average cubicle-dweller or assembly-line worker to afford something like that as a daily driver, let alone as a weekender.
