President’s Day Edition of SORT
As of Monday, February 21, 2022 at 6:00 PM pacific time:

For President’s Day I decided to pick vehicles that said presidential…your mileage may vary.

Sport	Off-Road	Touring
Packard Bayliff LeBaron Convertible	1974 Land Rover 88 Series III	2021 Mercedes-Maybach GLS600
For some reason this reminded me of our 45th president.	If this is good enough for Queen Elizabeth, it’s good enough for a president.	This looks enough like a Buick so it is a fit for an American President.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to, if the reserve was not met.
Sports: 2021 Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 Sold for $108,000 on 2/15/22
Off-Road: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Golden Eagle Sold for $39,500 on 2/16/22

Valentine’s Day Edition of SORT
As of Monday, February 14, 2022 at 6:00 PM pacific time:

Because it is Valentine’s Day I was going to pick out all red cars, but just last week I picked cars of the same color, so instead I’m going to pick cars I’d actually love to own. And the fact that I have picked three cars that are in the gray/silver category was purely accidantal.

2021 Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0	2018 Jeep Wrangler Golden Eagle	2016 BMW 328i xDrive Sports Wagon
The only thing I’d change on this car would be to paint the caliper cover black.	First things removed will be the three golden eagle decals on the hood.	Those yellow accents on the bottom trim will have to go along with that silly front tow strap.

Here is the MSRP for last week’s new cars. I’m sure that is exactly what I would have to had to pay for them too, what with crazy car market.
Sports: 2022 Porsche Cayman S – $87,690
Off-Road: 22022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon – $48,445
Touring: 2022 Audi SQ5 Sportback – $62,090

Tiring of looking at more of the same overpriced previously owned vehicles on Bring A Trailer, this week I’m going to just go ahead and buy brand new versions of the three types of cars. And I bet even with paying total MSRP for them I will still come out cheaper than one low mileage 80’s Porsche 911 Turbo.

An over 20-year old BMW from Japan with 145 thousand miles, what could go wrong?	An ex-Danish military vehicle that was refurbished in Poland, what could go wrong?	A car as old as me with a speedometer & coolant gauge that are inoperable, what could go wrong?

Insane in many ways, including with 7 days to go the bid is at $400,000 already.	As aerodynamic as a brick, but has the HP to punch square shaped holes in any medium.	Just the thing for hauling stuff to Goodwill in style and when you need to be there now.

This is a big stretch for the category as the only thing sporty here is the Porsche name on the side.	This is a slight stretch because it has been lifted with some knobby tires, but it is not 4-wheel drive.	This one is only a stretch because usually I pick something fast for my touring needs.
