I’m keeping an eye on Hailo for this purpose. I think the future is small embedded AI systems, not massive data centers.

Pretty sure semis have better front vis than many modern trucks, especially GMCs.

“f you, I got mine”, right?

A lot of the military loves deployments. You get extra pay that’s untaxed, which help you buy that new jeep renegade. Deployments also allow you to get over the dreaded e6 hump and become a platoon leader.

Yeah I’m sure it was.

It’s a catch 22 though, the clunkers being removed were heavy polluters. I have a 60s C10 and that thing pollutes like crazy. Looks beautiful though.

Other issues are the CAFE standards that motivated large expensive trucks and the general social change towards large SUVs. I hate those big crossovers, my wife has one and it’s a POS.

I’m not an expert, and I’m just spitballing here, but I’d say it’s some combo of the following:

• cars last a lot longer, a 200k mile car still might have a couple years of solid life left
• inflation makes 2000$ now 4000$
• everyone is hard up for cash and needs to sell stuff at the most possible amount of money
• boomers are famous for considering everything they touch to increase in value
• a ton of used cars are off the market due to gov shenanigans
• the typical car is much pricier now, so the typical used car is also pricier

anyone got any others?

I wonder why? Most of our peer nations have some kind of government medical system, why are we so afraid?

Need to get the money out of politics…
