    Do you want it?
    I’ll probably get one at some point but I wouldn’t want to pay luxury tax on it. Not in a rush but thought it sounded like a good deal with what’s listed on auto trader.

    I was hoping to pick up a used one for $90ish but it doesn’t look like that will happen in the next couple of years.

    I was offered a trx today at MSRP. Should I take it?
    I mean, you were shopping for one earlier.

    My neighbor just sold his shitty old motorhome in less than a day of being on Kijiji.

    Do it! Just don’t bail last minute and buy a Ridgeline.

    I have a guy who wants to buy my wagon for 31% more then I paid 7 years ago, should I sell it?
    I like neat cars.

    What are you going to replace it with?

    I'd say yes just because of the money you'll make after ownership for 7 years but the replacement part could be difficult.

    That’s the easy part, another Trackhawk, obviously.
    Isn’t that always the answer?

    Probably picking up a Golf R in the near future as well.

    Maybe keep the wagon and get all of the above regardless?

    So I'm not in the market for anything, but I do still check in on the prices of certain vehicles from time to time.

    ...and sure enough, almost all the prices seemed a good 10-15% higher than I would have expected - and I've seen vehicles that didn't sell months ago still on there but at even higher prices.

    So the vehicle market flipped along with the housing market. Throw in the whole Covid shitshow and these are crazy times indeed...

    You couldn’t pay me to drive a ridgeline, haha! Going to pass on the trx for now. My wife said the truck is for dirty humans, bikes and dead animals. She’s probably right and I’d probably hate driving it for what I’d use it for. If anyone wants one at MSRP shoot me a pm. Just pulled the trigger on something really special so that will be enough new cars for me this year.

    Is the wagon a manual? If it is manual I would hold on to it for a few more years if it’s not taking up space.

    You want one, get one. Don't complicate your life beyond that.

    Steel price tripled. Chip shortage. Dealer lot stock is low unless you are buying a sedan. This is the 1st June that I have not heard of any year end clearance deals.

    I like these trucks. Too bad they suck at being trucks.

    MSRP is pretty fair for any truck due to supply right now, let alone a specialty one.

    Ford gave up on trying to estimate my Mach 1 delivery. It used to read June 28th. Crazy times indeed. Talking with the folks over at Ford Performance, my car is scheduled to be made the week of July 5th. We'll see.

    I picked up a cheap FRS Friday so there’s still deals to be had. Beat two other friends to it, they are not happy.
