You must watch the Godfather (and the even better Godfather II).

Don’t drive expensive and/or new cars.

You can’t have nice things.

I used to be able to buy decent beaters for 3 grand.
Under Brandon, they’re up to 5 grand for the same thing.

I first paid more than $1500 for a vehicle in 2004.

I have noticed that as well. I don’t like driving a car that costs over $10,000, but prefer under $5,000.

The supply chain problem starts with new vehicles.
Many of the dealers look like they’re almost empty.
I drove from the Florida Gulf to Indiana to Ohio and back and saw dozens of dealers that look starved for inventory.
So demand pulls everything up in price.

Easiest rule of thumb is if you can see the bottom of the tires of the vehicle in front of you, you have enough room to turn. Granted, 5 yards gives you more room, plus a quicker escape.

24% of Minnesotans are people of color, a diverse and varied group that includes those who identify as Asian, American Indian, Black, Hispanic, and two or more races.

The share of Minnesotans who identify as people of color tends to increase among younger age groups, from 5% of Minnesotans age 85+ to 34% of Minnesotans age 0-9.

people of color

Don't use the racist, divisive vernacular of the left. Just call different ethnicities what they are.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell, cause people don’t wear labels, at least not yet.

There is a lot of distance in the market between a $40,000-$50,000 car and a $5,000 car. LOL

I agree.
I got 6 grandkids and have been picking up $3 grand cars, putting in maybe another grand in parts and passing them on.
Tires have gone way up too.
80 dollar tires are over 120 now.

Let me see....

I have a Ruger 380 in my pocket and 30 shot 9mm Ruger on the truck seat beside me.

I'll probably be alright.

My son had to buy his first set of tires. He now prefers I drive my car.

I know a guy who runs a fleet of trash trucks which of course is tough duty for a vehicle.
They’re struggling to keep stuff on the road because of availability of parts.
Brandon has screwed up a LOT of things.
