I have been a car enthusiast since the 80's. I have seen the bottom drop out of the market more than once. I repair them myself, but love it when I sell them for way more than I have in them. I see many of the buyers history on bring a trailer and they are clearly buying a diversified portfolio. With interest rates on the climb and inflation hitting record levels, I bet a hiccup is looming, and I predict there will be a scramble to list these diversified portfolios. I have always said sell when everyone is buying and buy when everyone is selling. ... View more

Flying cars were expected for 60 years now. Until an autonomous car can decide between hitting a deer or a human in a split second at speed, it isn't gonna fly. Autonomous vehicles can't even maneuver through a 4 way stop. Unless it's 100% autonomous, there will be mayhem. ... View more

I do have concerns when a 79 firebird is rising 30% in one year.

There are plenty of options to get into the collector vehicle market, or car hobby, which ever you prefer, without spending $180,000. If it's the collector market, then rising prices are what you are looking for, although I would be cautious with all of the bubble indicators. If you want to get into the car hobby, there are plenty of vehicles that will fill the thrill for working class money. https://www.hagerty.com/media/lists/7-under-the-radar-classics-lurking-below-20k/?utm_source=SFMC&utm_medium=email&utm_content=MED_UN_NA_EML_UN_SaturdayRoadTrip&hashed_email=142cb4d258c8619fcf9e1e4075ea49cd10ff9476c3836d91b0dad476c7b437d8 I personally am not interested in a turbo 4.3L S10, but to each their own. ...

I'm not so sure the manufacturers want to switch to all EV, but government mandates are forcing their hand. As Akio Toyoda, the president of Toyota Motor Corp stated, "Rather than legislating full electrification by a set date, a costly and disruptive mandate, governments could achieve a quicker near-term reduction in CO2 by encouraging a variety of technologies, including gas-electric hybrids and hydrogen fuel cells" I personally will need to bring in 200 amp service to my house, plus the installation of the level 3 charging station. I have concerns about how clean battery production from cradle to grave actually is. I also have concerns with China's monopolizing of lithium mines. I know that will be in the news soon. ...

I think the cost of the charging stations for the USPS would drastically reduce the amount of vehicles to fit in the same budget. I'm all for reduction of emissions, but seriously question the outcome to the automotive industry in the next few years. In cities with dense populations, the cost to add charging to apartment towers will be very high. I believe there will be unsold EV's when manufacturers are mandated to produce EV's. Ford is refusing orders for the Maverick hi-bred, to make way for EV production. We'll see how this unfolds. ... View more

I guess when Hotwheels started in 1968, heavy modifications were the coolest way to go. They represented what was on the street. Looks like they stuck with what got them successful.

I'm a little surprised at the small total for all of the 3 muscle cars. With so many different models, it seems like a high cost to maintain. One has to wonder how long you can buy a new car like these when Ford sells more F150's per month than the total number of Mustangs in a year. I checked the internet, and the sales are declining approx. 15% a year. Better hurry to your dealer soon, they won't be there for long 😞 ... View more

I too have issues with access to my own property. I continually purchase low mile older vehicles trying to avoid limited access to my own repairs. BMW charges $280/hr in Canada, and they don't charge 15 mins worth of repairs for 15 mins work. I had a C230K that once I unhooked the battery it disables the airbag safety system and only a dealer could clear the safety warning alarm. Pissed me off dearly. I will continue to support the low mile older vehicle market as long as possible. Unfortunately, the government will tax fuel to make it unsound financially to operate an ICE. I also am also wondering why the manufacturers are protecting the control of repairs so dearly, it only benefits the dealership. Does Mercedes make money when a tech charges to clear a code? It seems like dealers are closing more and more and we are heading to an internet purchasing system soon. I see adds for a local Honda dealer begging for repair work, pleading that they don't cost more in the long run. Things don't make sense to me. Hopefully we will have laws enacted to access home repairs. ... View more

Excellent point on the $2000 claimer idea. It does seem like this is subject to abuse with "free" stuff they get. As the story tell us, the entry numbers are falling once one find out it's hopeless in trying to win when someone's company gave them a $10,000 valued car or engine. Still, it would be fun to watch cars like the vacuum machine or the zamboni make a run. ... View more
