That's not a fair comparison. The M3 was drafting off the Prius.

Sure it is.That's not a fair comparison. The M3 was drafting off the Prius.
Drive a Prius as if you are in a race, you get less MPG than if you drive a BMW M3 sensibly.
This shows what Jeremy said in his last sentence.
"It is not what you drive, it is how you drive it"
Still love Richard Hammonds reaction "So, if you want to save gas, you should buy a BMW M3????

Oh great-----another Fix Or Repair Daily. Pay extra for cruise control? I don't think so.

I have to admit I've seen every minute of Barrett-Jackson so far this year. Thank god for my DVR. Fast forward like hell and stop only on things I'm interested in. A person can only watch so many Corvettes, GTO's, Camaro's and Mustangs before they all start looking the same. Anyone have any favorites? I thought that group of three old Corvettes (55,56,57) they auctioned off as a set (all VIN # 1's) was interesting. I thought 1.6 million was a low for the 3 of them. One more night of watching left.

back in 1975 i looked at a 1970 mustang mach 1 with a 428cj in mint condition for 1200 dollars. was concerned about gas mileage so bought a 69VW instead.
back in those days you could buy just about any muscle car for around 1500 bucks.

Some cars should be left stock and not customized. Just like the F40, they ruined its collector car value.

There was a Chrysler Product I passed on around 1978.
It had minor puffs of blue smoke coming out the tailpipes when you stomped on it, and the trans slipped a bit.
The guy wanted 1grand for it.
He would not take my offer of $800.
Did not know that car with the huge spoiler on the back and the sloped nose would be worth big bux one day as is.
YUP, I passed on a Superbird! (But did not know what it was at the time)

My buddy had a rare 1960's muscle car completely restored ( by him) that he sold a couple years ago for a HUGE profit....but he still regrets selling it , even though he won't admit it....
