Agreed. It’s just turning into a joke where a DYI oil change costs you $150 plus on a car.
Yep. Although to be honest a few hundred dollars here or there make no difference in the end. Gotta pay to play as they say, and these are just trivialities mostly. I love a good deal as much as the next guy (just on principle) but those days are over for the time being. Once the next crippling recession/depression hits things will become cheap again.
And I believe it will be a whopper -- underlying weaknesses were never addressed, just patched up and now with additional compounding issues. I predict lots of face palms for those who paid 170k for a HEP GT350. (or those who paid 100k for an old high mileage 911 hiding some rust)
You underestimate the problem. The Fed and the ECB are simply climbing higher in a burning tree. It's too late to jump and they won't face the flames, so they keep climbing. The only way out of the absolutely titanic amount of debt is to water the currency down to the point that the debt is meaningless. They'll just keep spending their way out of it and everyone will pay, but few will understand they're being robbed. It's a more expedient solution than raising taxes.
Too true! We are basically in a mess that won't be over for many years. This mess has been happening for 15 months and the seemingly never ending failure of bad decision after bad will keep spiraling out of control. Yes the sheep will always follow, how else could the approval rating be as high as it currently is? Everyone else is dragged along without a good choice. What I hate the most is how they can look right at us and tell bold faced lies. OK, my rant now over.
Do you happen to know the part number of the gaskets?
I do after a 3 day track weekend. After analysis, the oil came back as good, so you could probably go longer. But after any track days, I change it out.
