Automotive bubble....has it burst?

[paradisePWoffrd]

Can I just say I feel like this is a topic that doesn’t get enough attention. My wife will take it out of the bag and put it right in the closet/dresser (now contaminating the other clothes it touched). I don’t know who decided to pick their ass in a dressing room, then wipe their finger across the floor, and then drop the clothing on the floor, only to be refolded and put back on the rack, until my wife decides to purchase that piece of ass tainted clothing.

Someone mentioned it, but to me its also the process before any of it gets to the store. The fabric is made from thread from who knows where, that is then sewn together in a factory that might be lucky to have concrete floors & poor hygiene, to be tossed in boxes for who knows how long before put on a boat to get here. I worked in the automotive and electronic retail business as a teenager, and the rodent damaged boxes weren't minimal. I can only imagine with clothes from 3rd world countries.

My little dude refuses to eat anything from school or friends. He doesn’t participate in snack time or eat anything at birthday parties. He did this all on his own. Docs think it could be a natural response to what happened to him. We have to pack him a meal for anywhere he goes. About the only way he’d ingest eggs would be by force or something mislabeled. He’s either really smart or a weirdo. He’s allergic to the earth. Eggs, slight peanut, pets break him out, sometimes latex/rubber, he can’t wear new clothes unless they’re washed (I do that anyway but my wife is gross and wears new clothes without washing), he’s got some issues that hopefully he grows out of. My little brother was allergic to a bunch of stuff but grew out of it pretty quickly. Hope that’s the case.

My oldest has an egg allergy too. Its not that bad, but does make him vomit if he eats too much or its not cooked. We found out at 2 & at 10, its still about the same. His Dr has encouraged us to have him eat cake and other things, where the egg is fully cooked, to try and help him build an immunity slowly, but we will not eat it. He also has a peanut allergy, so he is very self-aware of food & kids around him, probly moreso than he needs to be.

Man, you guys are making me appreciate having relatively allergy free kids. That's gotta be an endless worry.

A record number of Americans are grappling with $1,000 car payments and many drivers can't keep up — dodge these 2 loan mistakes to stay ahead

The number of people who are behind on payments is rising at a rate not seen since the Great Recession.

finance.yahoo.com

With a record 16% of American consumers paying at least $1,000 a month for their cars, it's no surprise that drivers are starting to fall behind on their bills.
The percentage of borrowers at least 60 days late on their car payments is higher today than it was during the peak of the Great Recession in 2009.

Bargains coming soon for those with cash!

Did I post that FB reel here that the dude was walking around asking what car they had and what payment, and no one had under a $1000 payment and they were all 2020-newer cars?

And some had 2 payments over $1000 a month because spouse?

That's just mind blowing

You did…and I just saw some other dude taking those amounts and converting that to what kind of house you could buy if you applied the car payment to a mortgage.

Yes! That was mind blowing. Someone on here posted that they thought it was fake. It looked real to me.

Seems appropriate

We were up in VA last weekend and saw two BMW SUVs parked in front of a mobile home, LOL. My property is the complete opposite.

It's most likely real. That's just a random payment estimator but it don't take much to hit 45,000.00 on a truck now. Thats pretty much a base 4 door 4x4 truck

 

[1-tonmudder]

I've been in E KY 9 times in the past few weeks and every other single wide has a SXS parked out front. Priorities man,priorities!!

You park em in the back?

Mostly because that's all that can pass each other going opposite directions without one having to pull over and stop.
I have been in KY and met a motorcycle that had to pull over and stop to give us room to pass!

I’ve told the story before but I had a guy rent a single wide from me for ~3 years. Months in he bought a super duty diesel king ranch …..then changed the wheel and tires day one and lifted it. Easily a $100k truck with a 440/month house rent.

 

[StretchASU]

It’s definitely tax return season. I’ve seen more 30 day tags on used vehicles in the last two weeks than I have in the last few months.

I’ve told the story before but I had a guy rent a single wife from me for ~3 years.

I want to know who rents > 1 wife at a time. That guy is either a baller or insane.

Also guilty except it was my trailer to haul my Jeep.

 

[Loganwayne]

Heck i sold my truck in two weeks. Dont think i didnt know what time of year it was. Its the best time of year to sell a truck under 15,000.00
