Well, I didn't try to spin it as a bargain .. but went over the balance between how do roads get paid for, and what's the best way to collect road use fees. I also went through the law that was approved and found some details ..
Perhaps we can link these articles together as they're somewhat different takes ..

Bentley to unveil new Continental GT Speed Convertible at NAIAS

Billed as the world's fastest four-seat convertible, the new flagship performance will take its top down and show all at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

because in speaking with people who have gotten to take the new GT500 to the 200mph mark, it still has something left in the tank so the convertible model..if not limited...could challenge this pricey bentley.

Giving Beyonce a new corvette is stupid.

an editorial piece looking at the likelihood that GM will give her a corvette at the super bowl. i think that it would be one of the dumbest marketing moves ever. im guessing that they will give the corvette to the MVP and just show it off at half time.

In reply to Giving Beyonce a new corvette is stupid. by Patrick Rall
It makes no sense to give her one, since she isn't known for cars and is, in relative terms, a football nobody. It would be like giving a kid a pair of socks for Christmas.
Yeah, but isn't giving an MVP a corvette...

In reply to Yeah, but isn't giving an MVP a corvette... by Don Bain
GM has given the MVP a new vehicle every year except 2010 since 2002. They gave Eli manning a Grand Sport last year so giving the MVP a new vette would make good sense. Giving Beyonce a new vette would be marketing stupidity.
