You can definitely get away with brightly body colored calipers on a sports car.	You can’t see the caliper and that is how it should be on this vehicle.	Although this car is sporty the calipers shouldn’t be highlighted like this.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to (if the reserve was not met):

Just Another Edition of SORT
As of Monday, May 13, 2024 at 9:00 PM pacific time:

Sport	Off-Road	Touring
1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata	1949 Willys-Overland Jeep	1966 Iso Rivolta IR 300
This Miata has 7k miles in 34 years. I had 7k miles on my ’90 Miata in like two months of ownership.	It has the word overland in its name, obviously that has a different meaning 75 years later.	Dang, this sure is beautiful looking piece of rolling art. I have no idea about this car, but now I want one.

Here is what last week’s cars sold for, or bid to (if the reserve was not met):

Seis de Mayo Edition of SORT
As of Monday, May 6, 2024 at 2:00 PM pacific time:

Sport	Off-Road	Touring
1955 Beck 550 Spyder	1996 Land Rover Discovery	2011 Mini Cooper
A brand new turnkey Beck Spyder like this would set you back somewhere just below $50k.	Almost 30-years old with only an average 1300 miles a year on it. It will probably still be unreliable.	We had a 2013 Mini in Chili Red with a black top. It was just a plain Cooper, so this S would be a step up.

Another color themed entry, that is if you can call white a color and I don’t think you can. White, grey and black are achromatic, meaning without hue, AKA color.
