Life will start reminding me of the 80s.
Not everyone can drive a Euro motorcar and you'd maybe see 1 mid end bmw in the road on a trip to the grocery store.
People bout to get an expectation reset.

Dang that sounds like the great reset

[killramos]

Yea but instead of driving domestics this reset involves 85% of people taking the bus

Apparently they looked at pre collapse Soviet Union and saw perfection.

Saw a post on Reddit yesterday about how the prices for used vehicles were again increasing... the poster had referenced that they were back to pandemic highs.

It appears the prices have trended back up.

Im not surprised, with the cost of new vehicles now and the higher interest financing these things are getting fucking expensive. Add in the inflated costs of everything else in life the average joe has no room to finance anything even if you drag it to 8 years. My cousin was considering a new half ton and he priced out a GMC and he told me its about mid 80k and not even a Denali. I told him he could get an F150 lariat nicely loaded for mid 70's, nope, priced one out for him and its $83k(lariat high pack) WTF

I think I read something about inflation around here somewhere.

The automotive market has been harder to predict than stonks the last few years.

My dream/attainable dream car has slowly been dropping in price though, so at least I got some warm fuzzies there despite not being anywhere near wealthy enough to own one still.

997 GT3, preferable a 997.2 but if I ever get close to affording one I’d settle for a 997.1. To me it represents peak analog Porsche, no nannies no PDK shifting for you and my favourite body shape of the 911.

My parents neighbor bought a 997.2 GT3 right when they came out, it was amazing. I remember being blown away by the size of the torque wrench for the CL wheels haha.

CL wheels are the dumbest idea ever
