I did my own little 1975 to now comparison and auto prices have outpaced income increases by about 40% over that time period. Trucks at some point, in the mid 90s, became popular and their inflation rate is monstrous.

Here’s a little trivia for you.

The Jap Zero, single engine warplane of WWII, weighed
about as much as a SUV. It’s radial engine produced about 950 horse power. If you can imagine driving an SUV with 950 HP, that’s what handling a Zero was like.

In the fwiw department, if you stroll down Gulf Blvd from Clearwater Beach to St. Pete Beach right now you will see tons of Rolls, Bentley, Massarattis and Ferraris.

The new Rolls has suicide doors. Nice. Midnight blue.

I believe they start at 250 large. That’s what the owner said.
