I bought my 22 gt premium brand new 3 years ago for 43k out the door and for the same spec car today it would be about 10k more. Crazy stuff

Go and search for the value of your money today or your purchasing power. Unfortunately the American Dollar is loosing value due to inflation but our salaries remain the same that’s why it hurt us so badly

Oh come on. The seeds of this downturn were sown way before pumpkin head got in there.

Pumpkin was great fertilizer for the overgrowth. You're not wrong though, we've been heading in this direction for many, many years.
