I was gonna make a comment about you considering Budweiser to be a good beer, but at least it's not Natural ice.
Also, a pack of cigarettes is about $25 NZ dollars and about $30 Australian dollars. That's $15 to $20-ish dollars for a pack of cigarettes.
what do you think?

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Speedster by Jon Sibal - A beautiful restomod concept The renderings come courtesy of Jon Sibal and depict a new project that will be built by a company called S-Klub LA. The car originally came out in 1953 and, in roadster form, was produced until 1963. Although the 300 SLR inspired SLR Stirling Moss and the SLS AMG can be considered spiritual successors, an independent designer shows us what the 300 SL would look like nowadays. Moreover, the renderings we see here will be turned into reality. The person responsible for these renderings is Jon Sibal – a body kit, livery, and 3D concept automotive designer. For many, his name wouldn’t ring a bell. However, his take on the 300 SL, called the S-Klub Speedster, might change that, not only because we think it looks epic, but also because it will actually be built.

It is indeed a Ford GT - it's an expensive version that's really quite special.

Somehow, I'm picturing Verle's niece as looking a lot like Verle. I don't think that'd make Biff jealous.
As for the resto-mod, they turned a beautiful Mercedes into a kinda awkward AC Cobra. Plus they chopped it. It makes me wonder if a tall person will fit in there, or if they also lowered the seat height. If you change all those metrics, it changes the drivability.
It mostly looks okay, but it was already beautiful.
I was going to guess Ferrari when you said red but for some reason I didn't!
She is Verle's niece from being born out of the twin of the mother of Verles son. So she is not actually blood related to Verle, Just to his son. And she followed me around like a lost puppy. Talked my ear off too. Man she just doesn't stop talking. But she does not look anything at all like Verle. LoL
And yeah, I could not see anybody taking an actual 300SL and doing that to it. I do think it would be cool though just to build those cars that look like that right from scratch
I've thought about it some more and the Mercedes-Benz 300SL is such a beautiful car that I just can't agree to doing a resto-mod on it, and I kinda doubt anyone will - though I could see them doing it on a replica.
I own one and wouldn't change it for three times what it's worth (which is a whole lot).
It's not like a Singer Porsche, where they build 911s from a car manufactured in large number. We're talking taking an icon, an icon of which there are few examples, and trying to improve it. You don't really improve on greatness.
I consider it a privilege to own my example. It's worth a lot of money, but it's close enough to being 'priceless' in its design and function.
