    Truly impressed at the insane prices people want for used cars out there on Marketplace

    Part of the problem, especially on enthusiast vehicles, is how much the new vehicle MSRPs went up in such a short amount of time. Add on ADMs and it a whole other story. Just look at something like the Bronco Raptor - for a 2022 it started at $68,500 and a 2024 now starts at $89,835. Doing a...

    News blackout - Ohio cloud of Polyvinyl chloride death

    It was a "controlled burn" in the sense that they did it on purpose, supposedly because the temperature of the tankers were getting too high and they were afraid of it exploding on it's own. The train derailed on a Friday and was on fire from that point through Monday afternoon when they did...

    News blackout - Ohio cloud of Polyvinyl chloride death

    Apparently, contaminated soil was covered to rebuild the rail line and there are 3 additional chemicals that were also involved aside from vinyl chloride. Here are local news links: EPA says contaminated soil was covered to rebuild rail line 3 additional chemicals discovered on East Palestine...

    Interesting Car/Truck Manufacturer News

    In the same week, Farley says Ford is entering Formula 1 and tells his employees they missed their expense estimates by a billion dollars, so they better get better at their job or they will lose it. Interesting tactic.

    What happened to the world of guitars?

    The Boss Katana amps seem to get a lot of praise for their price and have a lot of built in effects that can be expanded on with their software as well. I don’t know enough about those guitars to give a good opinion, but my advice would be to spend more money on an amp than a guitar. If you’re...

    BAT Old School and New School Broncos

    The 1970 is cool, not $171,000 cool, but cool nonetheless. It still blows my mind people are willing to pay that much over MSRP on the new (used now) one.

    Current New Vehicle Market

    Couple thoughts on this article: - He said if you see us advertising EVs during the Super bowl to sell the stock because they're sold out and don't need to advertise and then later says that they may advertise down the road and are currently advertising the front storage. Aren't nearly all...

    Guitarists of SVTP: New pedal board setup - Step in

    That looks awesome! You did a great job on the wiring. I just have a really simple softshell pedalboard/case with a few pedals, but would like to get to something like you have there. I was like you and used to use the digital stuff. I had, well still have but don't use it too often, a TC...

    SEMA and CA Collaborate to Give You Cash for Violating EPA Regulations???

    I wonder what the overlap of people who are current car enthusiasts with the desire to do an ICE to electric swap and the people with the knowledge and ability to do the swap looks like.

    Learning A New Language

    I've been the most consistent with Duolingo. It's not something you can do while driving though, at least the way I have used the app on my phone. I think I did a trial of Rosetta Stone, Busuu, and Duolingo and stuck with Duolingo (it's free). I would just get the free trial of a few and see...

    BAT 6 mile 2003 Cobra

    I'm not who you quoted, but I think what he is getting at is that if you took that same amount of money back in 2003 and invested in say the S&P 500 it would now be worth more than what that car will most likely go for. Here is a calculator assuming the original owner invested the MSRP of...

    BAT 6 mile 2003 Cobra

    The crazy part to me is that it has had 3 owners and none of them drove it.

    Nissan 400Z Launch

    I like it and could see it as a possible future car for me. I've been following the new Z and WRX/STi for quite a while and really like the Z. My odd gripe with the Z are the 3 gauges on the dash. From the Nissan website: Legendary triple pod cluster A Z legacy, in the all-new 2023 Z, you get...

    Mid-size trucks

    If you're looking midsize and don't want Chevy, Nissan, or Jeep you're only left with 2 options - Tacoma and Ranger. Well, there's the Ridgeline as well, but I don't think that would fit either. IMO, it just comes down to what size truck you are willing to deal with and what you prioritize...

    Interesting Car/Truck Manufacturer News

    As a former VW GTI owner, those wheels scream VW to me. I'm also not a fan of the LED strips they are putting across the entire front of vehicles.

    Interesting Car/Truck Manufacturer News

    What is everyone's thought on all of these small electric car companies that no one has ever heard of? My thought is that they will all eventually be bought by one of the big players for their intellectual property. I'm sure they all think they're the next Tesla (or maybe they are just hoping...

    Recommend me an exercise watch :)

    I have a Garmin Vivoactive, it's quite a few years old now (they're on the Vivoactive 4 now) but it has been solid. It can display texts and who is calling you if your phone is nearby, but you can't reply or talk through it like the Apple Watch. I think you may be able to reply on the newer...

    BITCOIN

    Does anyone know if there is a way to easily see the price of Bitcoin at the time you made a particular trade on binance.us? I'm not sure if I am just over looking it on the order history or if I have to do some math to back into it.

    Ford Mustang is the world's best-selling 'sports car' again.

    Those numbers make sense with what I see in my corner of the world on the road. Is the Camaro still going to be discontinued in 2022 or 2023? I thought it was done after this generation. Dodge definitely found a winning combo of straight line power and good looks. I kind of wonder if they...

    What other sports cars do you like?

    This is something that is constantly circling my head haha. I'm definitely split down the middle between import and domestic. Cars I would love to have, but aren't in the cards right now: MKIV Supra, pretty much any Viper that isn't a convertible, R34 GTR Cars I'm somewhat serious about...

    Why so many low mile Cobras out there?

    I bought my '97 in 2014 with 22K on it. It has 27K on it now. It's stored from between October and April and only really driven on evenings during the week or on weekends in the summer. 99% of the time I am driving it for pure pleasure rather than running errands or driving back and forth to...

    Fuel prices near you

    $2.75 in Ohio for 87 today. It's been steadily creeping up. It was at $2.69 for a couple weeks, then went to $2.79 last week, and split the difference the week.

    Cross shopping Charger HC RE WB v G80 M3 stick

    In my opinion, if you want something with a clutch, buy something with a clutch. Once the new car excitement wears off, you will miss the manual and fast shifts don't replace the manual feeling. Looks are subjective, but I am not a fan of the huge grills BMW is using. The below video (they're...

    96' Procharged Cobra "Casper" Build

    I don't really have any advice on the transmission issues, but I'm interested in following along. I really want to put a Procharger or Vortech on my car, but haven't been able to talk myself into it yet haha.

    How long will gas/diesel be available

    The thing I wonder is if at some point they will do a "Cash for Clunkers" type thing to incentivize people to buy EVs. "Here's $X,XXX for your gas car as long as you can drive it onto the lot and you buy and EV" type of program. I also think they are going to make gas more expensive to push...
