Let me know how that sweeper sounds when I drive it over YOUR FACE.

I thought I read it on your profile. I work in Aberdeen so I drive through there everyday.

Ah, cool. Yes, I do. Used to live in Ripley. Aberdeen is a haul!

Would you have been on SR 68 around 6 or 7 pm in your Camaro a few weeks ago? I passed an IBM with white stripes but can't remember exactly what day or even the time it was. There are not many with that combination running around Brown County.

Over those years.

I have no rift with foreign motor companies but their prices are not relative to prices in the us. They were able to enter the market at significantly lower prices than gm ford ever could because the had limited overhead and operational costs ( I include retirement in operational costs)

You also have to include 3 major events, stock market decline Of 1987, dot coma of 98-2000 and the most recent of 2008 and the impacts that these made on our economy. Short term inflation is outrageous, long term inflation will level out because of these financial short falls. We are a society built on the now and not the 5 years from now.

Btw sorry I am on my phone there spelling an grammar issues everywhere. My apologies.

Thanks for your thoughts. Sticking to domestic manufacturers would depend on what question we really asking. If your comparing the change and impacts to US manufacturers, yes, but if we are comparing what a US buyer can get for a price over time, then it wouldnt matter if it was US or foreign. Foreign cars were at many times more expensive than domestics. Just for comparison though, a Chevrolet Spark would have been $8605.23 in 1995 (way cheaper than any car available... plus look at the safety specs cars never had in 95) and $640 in 1950, which was certainly a price unheard of... However you are right, we could look at it different ways.

I think your right on the short term inflation. I think thats largely because its been more significantly artifically depressed the last 5 years or so during the recession and its "catch up time", in addition to the typically expected post-recession inflation. I wouldnt be surprised if we see tremendous inflation numbers soon that make this conversation much different in 2014 once the fed rates are unlocked.

I'd be up for it as long as I'm not vacationing that week. I went last year and there were about 12-14 pretty impressive modern camaros, and of course a ton of impressive older cars.

Yeah that was me I'd say that would be right around the time I'm on 68

question for you Ohio guys. When Me and Steve drove over Sat, we took I70 into Dayton, then I75 South, then jumped onto SR 35 East. Would it have been "quicker" to pick up 35 East just past Richmond, as you come across the state line. We could not tell if it was 4 lane or 2 lane at that point. Wasn't sure if is "quicker" to by-pass the Dayton Traffice, or does that just depend on the Day of the week?

Hank,

Not sure about that question but I meant to drop you a 'heads up'. When you get onto the 4 lane part of 35 in WV be careful around the bridges. The entrance onto and off of the ends of the bridges are bad on a couple of them. I hit a couple and thought I had lost the whole bottom of the car. Jason experienced the same when he was over a couple of weeks ago. Just slow down and dont hit them at 70mph or you might lose or at least scrape your ground effects.
