Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

What's what I am saying ... the used market is still too hot. This will not maintain going forward. Most of the country won't be buying 100k behemoths new anymore that the .gov money dried up.

It's not uncommon to be stuck on the Mississippi river bridge here in BR. You'll just be shaking up and down the whole time sitting there. FUCCKKKKK that :shock: Its a great time to inspect those large steel expansion plate joints... and the low railing keeping you from the large river below. :neek:
