The most expensive car ever sold in Brazil was a Ferrari 458 Italia Speciale, priced at exactly R$9,816,725.06 -- nearly 2 Million US dollars -- all of it paid in cash, Brazilian style. That was actually sold at a small discount, after the dealers realized no one wanted to pay the original R$9,990,629.67 price. The asked price was actually much less than the corresponding MSRP in China, which angered the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association. After a 6-month long investigaition, they figured out the reason for the higher prices: Chinese import tariffs, consumption taxes, and VAT.
So... I hope you did find all this data quite incredible as promised! (As opposed to "credible", you know...)
To be honest, #1 was stolen nearly ipsis litteris from this post, and might have some hint of truth to it. I couldn't make up anything better. :D
Cheers!
For us Europeans, R-N-D is not easy to grasp since nearly all of us drive stickshift ^^

It also works as a metaphor for the RaNDom nature of GAs... ;D ;D ;D

I was wondering the whole time which of the two you were going for. Now I know it was both.

I've been blacklisted by the creator of the next cart, but since they deleted their comment here I have to ask you if you could provide a skip to the next cart that's not theirs :)

Thanks for the highly educational content 🤣
To be honest, #1 sounded credible enough that I had to look up Duroplast on Wikipedia - the article mentions that there are limited methods for efficient disposal of the material and refers to claims that cars made of it could be fed to pigs as an urban legend.

you can feed anything to something, once

Wikipedia knows nothing -- it is about pigs (and Yaks, did you spot the Yak?), so it is a rural legend, of course. :D

Pigs eats everything. If they can chew and swallow something - they will do it.

Thanks for the great addition to the train! It was interesting. And on top of that I found a cart to ride among yours 🙂 Also could ride two more of them, but already own the games. So you nailed both: interesting things in description and interesting games in giveaways! 👍🏻

lol. I can guess which cart you rode without even checking 😄 One day, you'll catch that holy grail and it will be glorious!

I was really confused by the first 2 facts. But as I moved forward they all started to makes a lot more sense.
Thanks. Nice facts.

You mean, INcredible facts, of course. :D :D
