Have you been in a Harley Davidson dealership lately?

I have not seen that sparse of an inventory since the 1990s.


They're all sparse, at least in the Panhandle area. Lots are filled with used cars that aren't the same as what the dealer sells new.

Like many, I'm glad I went be in the market for a new vehicle for at least another 5 years.
My car is almost 14 years old

guess I will wait a couple of years for the Subaru.


Of course you'd want a Subaru... and here I thought you'd be driving the suburban soccer-mom standard Escalade or Expedition.

Who cares, cars suck anyways
I don't pretend to know anything about vehicles, I mean I cannot change a tire and barely know where the oil goes, but aren't all vehicles made from the same materials for the body and most of the components to make it run?

If cars suck, wouldn't trucks suck too?

If so, how do you get to work and the doctor?
Do you grow, raise, and process your own food and drink?
What about clothing? Use your own sheep and cotton fields to spin the cloth and make your own clothing?
What about shoes and paper and internet? How do you get those without road vehicles?
You won't get answers. That post you responded to was a drive by shooting, no thought. no rational thought process, just a snarky pointless attack.

Maybe I should have driven my wife's 2013 Altima with 155k miles from NC to Houston.

Guy who can't spell is probably a fry cook. Also no Ag Tag or premium - way more likely to be a fry cook. FOH


This $90M guy actually thinks that someone misspelled "cooks" as "cools". Derp. He's a tool but definitely not the sharpest one if he doesn't realize this is a case of autocorrect.

Bought a new truck on 3/30/20 when manufacturers started making ventilators. Get a call once a week to buy it back for more than I paid.

I will be.

Hopefully I can find someone who is selling Grandma/dad's car with low miles like I normally do.

Looks to me like a purposeful set up for economic meltdown. Time for Texit and back to steel body vehicles without that pesky EPA.
