LOL In fact 50% of the local small town dealer's listed new car stock right now is an 86! https://www.woodstocktoyota.ca/new/?...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

No doubt. Still can't believe how lucky I was being able to go from Gen1 to Gen2 (and only because I had access to the Toyota Employee Purchase Program) with relatively little out-of-pocket.
My old car. 2020 BRZ limited with 32,000 miles Bought for 28,500 (w/o tax, title) and sold to Vroom for $27,817 (which they are now trying to sell for 30k). My new car. 2022 GR86 premium with 7 miles. Bought for 30,400 (including PPF, homelink and mats, w/o tax and title). |

The funny thing is that the two overpriced 2020 86's from the one dealership are STILL there, and due to the supply chain issues their prices are a little bit more in line (but still overpriced) with the situation nowadays lol. Plus they did bump the price of the AT model awhile ago..... |

I am confident we will never lose any of the history or heritage of ICE vehicles. At least the good stuff. I think appreciation will only grow with time. The day will come though when buying an ICE vehicle as an A to B appliance no longer makes financial sense, even for poorer folks. Will enthusiast ICE cars still be made then? I feel there is no EV substitute, so I hope so. The big question is how we will be able to continue to enjoy the ones that already exist when that day comes? It will be here sooner than we all think. My hope is that we'll get some sort of regulatory niche to live in that's not too pricy. As we all know, we're so small in number we wouldn't make much of an impact on pollution or carbon so c'mon. |

I guess the silver lining is that these supply issues are hitting everyone across the board - that way, there should be less issues of people who really want a GR86/BRZ, opting to go for a competitor because of availability (since nothing is available).

Dodge is still churning out Chargers and Challengers. I see dozens of trucks hauling them down the highway every day.

just saw my first road-registered '22 brz going the opposite way on the highway today.
about a month ago, i saw 2 on the back of a car hauler, as well, but that's really it for my area so far.

The worst thing about horses is that they need repairs, fuel, and tires, so to speak, even if you aren’t “driving” them. My parents haven’t ridden theirs in 5+ years. The horses just stand out in the field consuming money.

Yep. And that is what will happen when ICE become hobby vehicles.

The Drive article on Q1 2022 GR86 Sales
There are already mechanisms in place to keep the cost low on infrequently driven cars. Classic tags, weekend driver insurance plans. It won’t literally be consuming fuel as it slumbers in the garage the way horses need fed. I think we are many years from that being the case, though. If new car volume went 100% EV today, it would still take ~10 years to turn over 1/2 of the fleet. And we are probably 10 years or more from that BEV having that kind of new market penetration.

but ev will eventually alter the supply/demand structure of current oil refining demands in a way the globe really hasn't seen before.
likely, they'll shift refinery duties from producing large quantities of gasoline to other petroleum substances. we'll likely end up importing gasoline in niche amounts from other countries that aren't such emissions powerhouse, and still refine to gasoline. the shipping will drive the price up and out of the hands of typical people.

The current systems for classic cars assume that the majority of new cars are still ICE. When ICE goes away yes there will still be those special antique car techs, insurance , parts etc but the price of them will go through the roof. That is ignoring what the price of gas will do when it is a small scale niche hobby product and not a mass consumer commodity. The change to EVs will force ICE operating costs up way faster than you may think. Every single gallon of gas reduced will eventually push the rest up.
