We’ve got 3-1965 Dodge Darts we’re trying to sell as a package deal. One car is strictly parts, while the other two could be very driveable with a little elbow grease and maybe $2-3k total spending. Hubby said he could have one of them road worthy in just a couple weekends. We’ve got a brand new slant 6, never been used, and one of the darts has a CRANKIN 318 in it. I’m starting to rethink selling them. Hmm...
Our politicians and economic planners must had had their heads stuck five feet up their arse when they sold out our industries to the Chinese. Or they were bought off. Or they were just garden variety traitors and psychopaths that have plagued mankind from the beginning.
Milk of Magnesia for occasional supply chain constipation?
Just bought a 75 Vette... end of life not mid life crisis đ¤Ł. I can take the entire car apart with a straight slot, Phillips head, allen wrench and some basic mechanics tools. No computer no BS and fun to drive. I can get all American made parts with no problem.
My only fear is getting gas... But it does get better gas mileage than my 9.2mpg truck!!!!
good thing i invested my energy, money, and time into buying, restoring, and selling classic cars and trucks...
Yay! More FUD clickbait.
Ploy to force the sale of electric cars?
Maybe reopen our steel mills and build cars out of steel like the old days that can actually take a shopping cart hit in a walmart parking lot without getting $1,500.00 in damage like these plastic/beer can cars of today.
Car manufacturing and sales affect a huge part of the economy, so of course the NWO is going to destroy it.
The situation in the US, luckily, is a bit more optimistic. While not nearly on the scale of China, the US is a global producer of magnesium as well. As long as American auto plants can get their hands on enough semiconductors, production shouldnât quite hit a total standstill.
Won't be an abundance, but cars should be available. Right now dealers are gouging people. Look for that to continue or get worse.
Inflation is now running 8% per year, but on the plus side there’s nothing to buy.
If there is no new car inventory to sell, how is the GDP growth positive? It can’t all be inflated food and building material sales.
Pretty soon my wife will have to drive the classic Porsche to work ...
She will hate that.
I bought a minimal mileage used Honda August 2020. Same model, same specs would cost me 4000 more today. Checking out Autonation on certain models. It seems they have half the inventory they had in August 2020. This whole Covid affair is messing up world economies. The Chinese included seem to have Covid problems killing their production of X,Y and Z. They tossed a conniption fit and banned Australian coal. This killed their electrical outputs for industry. They had some blackouts. They have recently unbanned it.
Australia and Guinea were the 2 leading suppliers through 2019...maybe China bought their mines and thus these sources are counted as China? I question the source as I can’t see how China could have unseated both of them and became the frontrunner.
Arkansas has bauxite in a 270 square mile region but mining waz reduced to a trickle in 1981 for some reason. About that time Reagan found that US strategic bauxite reserves were short and so signed for purchasing the shortfall from Jamaica.
There is some global warming interest and speculation at work with these particular resources....
