Born in ‘44 and a nice set of tires now can cost more than a new Ford sedan cost when I entered first grade. I recall when the daughter of a neighbor came back to South Carolina from Connecticut because she and her husband had split. She bought a used Plymouth that was over ten years old but looked good and had good tires on it, drove it to her mother’s home in SC and she and her young daughter moved back in. She drove that car for several years after that. The reason for saying all that is to say this, my wife and I just went to Western Sizzlin for the buffet and spent almost exactly what that woman paid for that used Plymouth.

Yikes! Scary stuff when you think about the ramifications of that. A new Chevy Silverado truck can cost $50,000. Even a throw away small car costs $12,000 with no options.
