Forgot to post here. Saw this last week:

Is that like a satin finish?

Best I could tell yes. I'm assuming it isn't a wrap but can be hard to tell sometimes. Plus I was on the opposite side of a 6 lane street.

I was on the fence about posting this one becasue of a couple of things. One it's not that neat or cool of car. Two the window sticker was available with all the options ordered and that got me thinking.

The reason for my second hesitation is becasue if you input the MSRP of this 1979 Impala into an inflation calculator the price for what you get is insane.

People love to bitch and moan about the price of new vehicles today but imagine paying this price back in 1979. Before anyone calls me out on this being an outlier. I bought my son a 1999 Honda Accord for his 16th birthday. It also came with the window sticker and I can straight up tell you the results are the same.

Here is my conclusion. Cars don't cost more today than they used to they actually cost less.
