Man Trades Rare Ferrari for Ineos Station Wagon and $2.4 Million Cash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A car dealer in Texas recently accepted an unprecedented trade-in: A customer walked through the doors of an Ineos dealer looking to trade in their Ferrari F40 for a new station wagon and some cash. The customer got what they came for, walking out of the dealership with the keys to a new Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon and $2.4 million cash. The new Grenadier owner will be using the vehicle on his farm. George Ratcliff, president of the Americas at Ineos Automotive, told Newsweek the story, saying that the dealer principal told the salesperson, "You've got to get it and get out of it. So, he wrote a check for $2.4 million." The dealer turned the car around, selling it the next day for $2.5 million. "The F40 is peak analog Ferrari, a world-class supercar that speaks to an entire generation of auto enthusiasts who are now actively acquiring the cars of their dreams. Even though it's the most abundant of Ferrari's halo car lineup, it's also arguably the most purposeful, making it one of the rare cars to exceed 1,000 units while also being worth more than $2 million," Brian Rabold, Hagerty's vice president of automotive intelligence, told Newsweek.

Ineos Automotive The Grenadier Station Wagon is powered by a BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission, differential locks in the front, center and rear and a two-speed transfer case. Two Ferrari F40s will cross the block this week at RM Sotheby's Monterey Auction as part of Monterey Car Week festivities. Lot 132, a 1990 Ferrari F40, is estimated by the auction house to be worth $2.2-$2.6 million. That car has been owned by just one person since it was purchased, has approximately 224 miles on the odometer and has been in long-term storage. Lot 260 is a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM GTC valued at $8.5-$9.5 million. Just 19 examples of the model were made and this Ferrari is the 14th. It features the most powerful F40 engine available at its time of creation. lists two F40s for public sale in the U.S., one at a Ferrari dealer in Philadelphia ($3.79 million) and one at Specialty Car Collection in West Hollywood, California ($2.3 million). "Before investing in a collectible car, it is important for a family to have sufficient cash flow or available income sources to sustain their everyday lifestyle for a minimum of three to five years without having to liquidate the car in haste —often at a discount — to cover living expenses," Aaron Thiel, a senior wealth strategist at Truist Wealth, told Newsweek. "The longer the investor can keep the car before selling, the better the opportunity for an investor to fully realize the car's appreciation potential over the long run. But this longer time frame must be balanced with the added costs of climate-controlled storage, specialty insurance, restorative needs, and routine maintenance, all of which will certainly impact the investor's overall return on investment. In addition, given the market volatility of collectibles due to changing tastes, illiquidity, and shifting economic trends, it is common for families to cap their investment into collectibles at 5–8% of their overall net worth. These families are also keen on diversification and would rather spread their risk by owning several collectible cars across various eras and categories rather than putting all their eggs into just one car," he said.

Max Verstappen pinpoints ‘incredible' reason for McLaren's F1 advantage
Max Verstappen believes he has now worked out why McLaren are dominating F1 so comprehensively this season, pointing to something that he describes as 'incredible to see'. McLaren clearly have the best car on the grid, as proven by the constructors' standings where they are a mammoth 299 points clear of second-placed Ferrari and have all-but sewn up the title ahead of the summer break. It's a similar story in the race for the drivers' crown with the title looking like a straight shootout between the team's two drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Just three of the 14 races so far have been won by a driver from another team with Verstappen taking the chequered flag twice and Mercedes's George Russell triumphing in Canada. Piastri leads his McLaren teammate in the drivers' standings, although Norris closed the gap to a mere nine points by winning in Hungary in the final race before the summer break. Over the past 18 months, McLaren's MCL39 appears to keep it tyres alive longer than any other car on the grid. That has led to plenty of speculation as to why but while Red Bull star Verstappen acknowledges that the minimal tyre degradation does play a role, he has highlighted another reason for their success – their medium corner speed. 'It's definitely better on its tyres', Verstappen told the media. 'But at the same time, I think their medium speed performance is incredible compared to, I would say, everyone else on the grid. 'The rotation that they have on the front axle, without losing the rear, is something that is also quite incredible to see, and that's something that we have to try to achieve.' Any mid-season improvements from their rivals may come too late to catch a rampant McLaren but the rule changes coming into force for the 2026 season could signal a shifting of the guard. In the meantime, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella responded to Verstappen's cornering speed assessment. 'That's an easy answer because it can be answered just by looking at the GPS data,' Stella replied. 'When you look at the speed comparison with some other teams, the data says that McLaren can generate the highest mid-corner speed in medium-speed corners. 'So, I think the assessment of Max is correct. 'We still have our weak points. If you go on a very high-speed corner like Copse, for instance, or Pouhon, we are not the fastest car. Likewise, probably in very low speed, we are not the fastest car. 'But the majority of corners in a championship happen to be medium-speed corners, and certainly in that range, our car is, data in hand, the best.'

Exclusive: How Doja Cat's surprise show at Oasis came together during Outside Lands
Doja Cat stunned fans with a surprise announcement during her set on the first night of Outside Lands in Golden Gate Park: an exclusive afterparty at Oasis, the popular South of Market queer nightclub. For 10 days leading up to the San Francisco music festival, club owner D'Arcy Drollinger had been quietly negotiating with the 'Paint the Town Red' singer's team to make the event happen — a well-guarded secret in a city where rumors move fast. Then 29-year-old headliner made the announcement live on stage on Friday, Aug. 8, inviting the festival crowd for an intimate preview of her upcoming fifth album, 'Vie.' The result was a mad rush to the South of Market where fans queue up in a line that wrapped around the block. Just weeks earlier, Drollinger — who also serves as San Francisco's inaugural drag laureate — announced Oasis would be closing its doors after more than a decade, citing unsustainable finances. He hopes the club, which has hosted major celebrities like Cher and Jane Fonda, can remain open at least through New Year's Eve to mark its 11th anniversary. In an exlcusive interview with the Chronicle the following day, between his own appearance at the pop-up queer space Dolores' at Outside Lands, Drollinger noted Doja Cat's appearance is just another example of the unforgettable moments that make saying goodbye so difficult. At least, Drollinger said, they're going out with a bang. Q: How did you get Doja Cat to Oasis? A: Her people approached us. She wanted to drop her three new songs in a queer venue, and Another Planet (Entertainment, producers of Outside Lands) suggested us. There was a lot of back and forth, and it was one of those things where we couldn't announce until after her show was done at Outside Lands. We were all sort of bracing for it, and then she announced onstage, 'Come meet me at club Oasis and I'm going to drop my new music.' Everyone raced to the club as fast as they could. Q: How long were the discussions with her team? A: We had about 10 days' notice. It was a very hard secret to keep because if it leaked, it was not going to happen. Q: Were you at capacity at the club? A: Yes, and there were hundreds of people who couldn't get in. We had people there who said it was such a joyous feeling in the room, and it was so intimate. She was so playful. (Fans) said it was more satisfying than seeing her at Outside Lands. I think the combination of it being a small venue and a queer venue allows for there to be more playfulness and sexiness. She drove up in a red Ferrari and got out, which was fabulous, and she was so gracious. Not a single diva moment. She was so sweet to everybody, so kind and easy and effortless. It was really fun. Because it was so contingent on her, there wasn't all the stuff that goes along with a celebrity. There were no riders and contracts. It was like, if she wants to do it, she's going to do it. Q: Did Doja Cat's team pay a fee to use the club? A: They did not. But we were able to charge cover, and we made good money at the door and the bar. It's fabulous for us. It helps us in our financial situation, and it got to be one of those amazing star moments like Cher, Lil Nas and Jane Fonda. A: It'll definitely get us closer to January. Of course, there's these moments where we're like, 'How can we stop when so much magic is happening?' We have Big Freedia tonight (Saturday, Aug. 9) and Doja Cat killed it here last night. It does make me crazy that we announced that we're closing and we have a runaway hit with ' Jurassiq Parq,' where we're sold out every night, and we've had two big stars come in. When I sit here at Outside Lands and I watch all of the amazing talent on the stage and I watch this audience, we're really fabulously blowing people's minds. I'm so proud of this, it's hard to not be able to continue showcasing this talent. Q: What was the most magical moment of the night for you? A: Her getting out of the car with a giant line of people and saying hello to everybody in the line and being so casual and generous with her time was pretty amazing. But I think that having her bend down and shake hands and hug the audience was really magical to watch. The room was filled with a lot of joy. It was also cool to have a lot of people that had never been to Oasis that heard about it at the festival and ran over. I would say 50% of the people that were there last night had never been there. I think it says a lot about Doja Cat that she wanted to drop her music in a queer club. It makes me proud to be able to be the club that could be small enough, yet big enough, to host something like this. It is a reminder that if you create something that is joyful, people want to be in the space.
