Are you a fan of the original Shelby Cobra? I know I am and love to follow the auctions on Bring a Trailer. They usually do a good job at spacing them out but for some reason, they have two, both blue & white, closing in one day.
Now, there's a lot of differences from the paint color similarities. One is from Superformance and the other is from a company named Hi-Tech that was founded in Arizona. Funny enough, the company that provides rollers to Superformance is also named Hi-Tech but is not related to the one in Arizona.
Hi-Tech Motorsports Arizona (AZ) was started by Tom Di Antonio and some of the parts he created for his Cobra could directly fit on the original Shelby Cobras.
The Hi-Tech Automotive in South Africa (SA), started by Jim Price, is still running strong today and makes replicas of the Shelby Cobra, the Daytona Coupe for Superformance, and, more recently, a wonderful tribute to the 1967 Ford Mustang GT500.
But, back to the auction, which one is getting your bids?

Who do you think are the largest automotive manufacturers in the world? Over the last five years, TOYOTA and Volkswagen top the charts. But Hyundai topped General Motors in the last two years and the Chinese manufacturers are quickly gaining on Ford Motor Company.
Which changes surprise you the most?

How reliable is your vehicle? Are you driving around with no issues or are you on a first name basis with your service advisor?

With all the new technology in modern vehicles, I don't think it's a big surprise that problems are rising (technology can be challenging for some and software bugs are unfortunately just a way of life).

To me, there are some big surprises on this most reliable chart. Lexus at number one is not surprising at all but seeing Buick at number two was not expected. I guess these are truly not your grandpa’s Buick. 😉

Seeing Land Rover near the bottom clearly reflects what I hear from the market but I was surprised to see Volvo and Volkswagen score worse than them.

Which brand ranking was the most surprising to you?

So...EVs are having a little pullback here in the USA, at least partially due to the cancellation of of the federal tax rebate. But, surprisingly, it shouldn't be due to electricity costs.
The USA ranks 55th in the world for the expense of electricity. Yep, 55th...🇺🇸 USA = 0.186 USD/kWh.
Norway, which boasts that more than 97% of all new passenger car sales in the country are EVs, is even lower at 0.162.
Some stats from our friends at Visual Capitalist.
See any surprising costs on this list?

Are you familiar with Mr. Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari? If not, do yourself a favor and read a bit about him (at least review the Wiki page on him). He was a very successful race car drive in the 1930s. Winning 150 races, 72 of them major racing events. Including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Mille Miglia, and the Targa Florio. In fact, he drove for a team run by some guy named Enzo Ferrari (in an Alfa Romeo by the way).
He also drove an Auto Union to victory for a company that would eventually become Audi.
Well, after you catch up on his history, take a look at the new Supercar that Audi just released in tribute.
The Audi Nuvolari, a 980+ horsepower supercar.
How would you feel seeing this beauty in your garage every morning?

Do you know what the top selling automotive brand is in your country? By brand top seller, TOYOTA is well in command with 25 countries. Surprised to see that Ford Motor Company only has one.
