Think of all the savings from non existing fancy parts and gadgets that won’t cost a mint when they break. And no passive speed monitoring system. (Not that it goes too fast, but still.)

Sold for $131,000. A steal ! LOL

Of course I know who Lightning McQueen is! But I’ve never heard of Steve McQueen.

Unpopular opinion... Steve McQueen wasn't as cool as Paul Newman. Incidentally, Paul Newman voiced Doc Hudson. And created a non profit tomato sauce line. And was a real racer.

Eh, I'll still go with McQueen. Private GA pilot, motorcyclist, and automobile racer, 12-hours at Sebring in a privateer Porsche 908 with a 2nd place finish; only losing to Mario Andretti in a factory Ferrari. Oh, and McQueen had a broken left foot...
