Just want to point out, scrapping is a cash based business, no 1099s for your local scrapper grabbing junk of the curb. That flies under the radar of their disability claims auditor ;)  I run the non-ferrous division of a scrap yard.  The only thing I scrap is what my garbage and recycling pickup won’t take.  Even…

Shoot, try the new LiPos with 6000mAh. I grew up on Tamiya products in the 80's. Feeling a bit nostalgic with money to burn, I picked up an Associated SC10RS with a brushless motor a few years back. After the newness wore off, I rarely ran out of juice on a battery pack before I ran out of interest and put it back on…

High stock prices are good for everyone. Where do you think pensions, either public for the school teacher, police officer, firefighter, or bureaucrat who loves red tape or the private employee with a retirement fund is invested? An individual with millions of shares doesn’t have as much sway as a union pension fund…

I’ve been watching BaT also. 996TTs with MT are still selling well. The 1 I’m looking at is probably a couple grand high, but it is local and I’ve already looked at it once. And it’s Speed Yellow which I love!

I hear ya. Still way too early to know, but not too early to speculate lol

Tom, any predictions on how COVID-19 will affect the specialty car market, say the Porsche 996 Turbo market in particular?  They had been trending up the last few years.  Do you see that area of the car market getting hit harder, similar, or less than the daily driver market? 

I’d argue that no company planned for a government ordered shutdown of a large swath of our economy like this. The closest we’ve seen anything like this was after Pearl Harbor after the US entered WW II and the gov’t ordered manufacturing to switch to military good.

At the minimum, this is a once in a hundred year event. Businesses can’t afford to plan for an event like this, and even if they theoretically could, how do you plan for it until you experience it? The most recent experience was the Spanish Flu pandemic and the advances in medicine and science, changes in lifestyle,…

GM did that with their mild hybrid truck back in the aughts, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Silverado#Hybrid  

What a trash article. Your first line says it all. Trump never said the virus was a hoax. He called the media’s reaction to it a hoax. You’re validating his point. In January when he closed off travel to China, the media and the Dems said why?  The media and Dems were more focused on quid pro quo with Ukraine.  Then…

As of Jan 14th China was still telling the WHO that there was no human-to-human transmission and keeping out any foreign help. Even at this point, we still don’t know the real totals of infected and dead coming out of that country. Lets not forget they arrested the doctor who tried to warn about this. They shut down…

Yup. The real shame is the ChiComs treated it as a 0/0 for too long.

3rd Gear: Tesla’s CEO Musk has said he believes widespread concern

Counter-point is if the city/county/state ever maintained those and considered them roads, they are part of the public road system regardless of condition.  Well, at least that’s how it works in Ohio.  Not to say newer land owners in the area understand that though.

3. Get a county road map. That’ll show every road. Depending on the area, old roads that are not maintained are legitimate “roads” but may not even be passable to a 4x4 truck or Jeep. Also pick up a DeLorme street atlas for your state. Southeast Ohio is littered with un-maintained and abandoned roads. The process to…

2nd Gear:  DJIA closed up 1167.  How much of a rebound did you want?  Oh, that’s right, you made the claim 1 hour after it opened for the day.

Did David hijack your account?

You’ve drank too much Kool-Aid.  

Oh no, that’s not how it works. They just rent a truck when they need 1. Just like we’re supposed to too. Who cares if you might need a truck more than once a month, drive an environmentally responsible vehicle and just pay extra when you need that truck.
