I am shopping for a second GEN and I look right at twice a day minimum for the last six months. Pure fucking ridiculous pricing out there when you are looking for something extremely specific

Well after over a year of looking all the time finally grabbed a ‘12 trd Offroad v6 stick 4x4 longbed for an everything truck outside of 1ton stuff. $12,800 with 131k very clean. This one is roughly 8k cheaper than any others with similar stats I’d found.

Good way to show a loss on taxes, but having a fat bankroll.

Casual friend...more like a friend of a friend :laughing:..waited 18 months for his audi r8 to come in....250k

New wife really likes it...and dealer had a carbon fiber accents one show up the the buyer flaked on...

He now owns 2 audi r8...

Guy spent over 500k last year on cars...and just topped it with 2 this year:laughing:..I'm jelly:flipoff2:

Actually he's a good dude.... keeps them 3 ot 5 yrs...depreciates them and sells them....
I got a good deal on a 2011 lexus for the wife's dd beater..so not complaining :lmao:

The 2023 tentative deal secured a 25% general wage increase and a 150% increase for temporary workers over the life of the contract. Additionally, the automaker's starting wage will increase by about 68% and its top wage by roughly 33%.

so to average out to a 25% increase across the board where the top's getting 33% and the bottom is getting 68%, the middle must not be getting much
 
Well, I guess truck are going to get even more retardedly priced. Now you make like 90k bolting wheels on trucks. :homer:

Send like the continued spiral of inflation
 
1997 F350 24,000 miles. $35k?

I think that truck came from here in bfk. Local town over, po bought it new in seneca. Ford offered him 13k to trade it. He put it on fbmp for 25 and sold it that day. Same year and miles(ish) same color as that truck. Wonder if it made it that far away.

Why so cheap? Salvage title?
 
Thats what id do if cartels were prominent amongst my employees.

Give them the raise to get back to work today.
Try my hardest to move production to Mexico or automate their jobs away tomorrow.
When my current company bought my former company, we were really top heavy with overpaid management.

They took one of our plants in Houston and turned it into the HQ of the new division, after moving most of the big guys to that plant, they sold it. :lmao:

We were really top heavy, then got bought out by an extremely top heavy competitor. Now we're excessively top heavy to the point of comedy. As far as I can tell, the LEAN program is designed to increase management 235% over ten years through some sort of pyramid scheme.

:laughing:

I have no idea how goodyear sells tires. The wranglers have always been garbage and the endurance are over priced.

Koo-pahs were an ok middle of the road brand, now I won't look at them at all :homer:

I have been running the Cooper AT3 E range LTs , probably on my fourth set , and they hold up great, love the stopping traction in heavy rain , they are okay in the snow. Towing is fine with them good solid sidewall performance . I have not see any difference since Goodyear bought them

Nice to hear.
I'm about to put new winter tires on my shit and the local guy is still a cooper dealer
 
Ford dealership had a 2017 jeep with 55k for a 25k. Went to look and it was as base model as possible, not even power locks. Plastics were chalky and the seats had stains.

I'm not sure that Jeep cost 25k brand new in 2017.

They haven't done anything. Nothing has changed with what's been going out the door. The changes have been I now have 73 bosses instead of the 26 bosses that were 23 bosses too many.

:laughing:

They sell because they almost own everybody. Soon, they will own everybody.

I'm in the jet engine industry, its no different. 5ish years ago they re-structured the org levels to minimize management levels and "bust bureaucracy"

5 years later, I'm pretty sure there's more management than ever before. And everyone has at least one deputy now too:homer: 90% of the "managers" i work with defer everything I have visibility to to their deputy, and most work from home. Oh, and they all generally hop around after 2-3 years so there is virtually no consistency or built knowledge and ownership of business units


McKinsey came in but I'm too much of a peon to have insight into their feedback. Got to imagine it hit the radar of who to give the boot
