The Lounge / Lakeside Race Car Swap Meet & Show?
« on: March 17, 2024, 06:25:54 PM »
Anyone going - April 14, 2024. I'd like to send you some flyers to stick up for my GT1 car. I'd trailer it down but I'm committed to the Antique Nationals at Irwindale Speedway that day.
Thanks

The Lounge / Does Farley have any toes left......
« on: February 21, 2024, 12:16:49 PM »
From shooting himself in the foot so many times?

Ford's top boss, CEO Jim Farley, said Thursday that the company will "think carefully" about where it builds future vehicles following the United Auto Workers (UAW) strike.

UAW reply
In a statement to The Associated Press, UAW President Shawn Fain argued that Ford should "find a CEO who's interested in the future of this country's auto industry."
"Maybe Ford doesn’t need to move factories to find the cheapest labor on Earth," he said. "Maybe it needs to recommit to American workers."

The Lounge / Your tires are too sticky
« on: February 05, 2024, 07:28:07 PM »
Progressives spent last year torturing home cooks by threatening gas stoves and dishwashers in pursuit of energy efficiency. Now the climate brigade is going after drivers. A new bill in Washington state would give regulators the ability to ban tires that create a drag on fuel efficiency.

The proposal would give the state Department of Commerce authority to prevent the sale of replacement tires that the state says have too much "rolling resistance," which decreases the fuel efficiency of the vehicles.

Washington has a rare triple whammy here in a bill that would limit consumer options, make tires more expensive and make drivers less safe. It underscores how progressives are using climate as an excuse to intervene in nearly every corner of the U.S. economy.

The Lounge / Only in California
« on: January 24, 2024, 09:20:46 PM »
ACalifornia Democrat introduced bill this week that would require automakers in the state to equip new vehicles with speed governors — devices that restrict how fast people can drive.

The technology, if passed under the legislation, would prevent California drivers from going 10 mph or more over the posted speed limit in any given area. The bill would mandate that cars and trucks of the 2027 model year or later that are manufactured or sold in California be installed with speed governors.

The Lounge / Hurry before they're all gone
« on: January 10, 2024, 02:29:37 PM »
Dealers are sitting on a 354 day supply of Mach-E Mustangs. Only 111 day supply of Lightnings. Overall the industry has on average a 71 day supply that is higher than normal. Even Toyota exceeds the "magic number" by 2 days with a 32 day supply. Ram is at 120 days and you can expect that to grow as their diesel emissions cheating scandal gets more ink. Mandatory recall of 600,000 Ram trucks, and that Cummins remedy environmental damage it caused when it illegally installed emissions control software in several thousand vehicles, skirting emissions testing.

Ford said it will match production to customer demand. Ford CEO Jim Farley suggested that the anticipated strong demand has not materialized, blaming high prices and spotty charging infrastructure. By the end of November, Ford had sold just over 20,000 Lightning pickups in the U.S.

This is the first one of these I've seen in the wild. The local Olds club was at Cars & Coffee with many 442s and this.

The Lounge / When will Farley get his walking papers?
« on: December 22, 2023, 11:47:47 PM »
Ford said on Thursday 12-21-23 that half of all 1,550 Ford dealers chose to sell electric vehicles in 2024—down from two-thirds that said this time last year that they would opt in to sell EVs for 2023.

“EV adoption rates vary across the country, and we believe our dealers know their market best,” Ford spokesman Martin Günsberg told the Detroit Free Press.

The Lounge / Kopec a modern day Nostradamus

His April 1 car tax hoax was ahead of its time.

Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats say they want to make “the rich” pay their “fair share.” Fiscal Year 2023 budget calls for imposing an annual 20 percent tax on unrealized gains.
Currently, taxpayers only pay capital gains tax when they sell an asset. This plan would create a “mark to market” regime, forcing Americans to pay taxes every year on the gain in the value of assets like stocks, collectibles, and real estate.
In order to enforce this tax, the IRS would have to be given vast new powers to value the assets of taxpayers. This would be an extremely invasive and difficult task. The agency would have to keep detailed lists of assets of items like jewelry, art, baseball cards, and more.

I can see it now you have a $30,000 68 Mustang. The IRS sees a 68 Mustang dressed up as Eleanor sell at BJ for $400,000. Therefore since your collectable could become an Eleanor you owe $74,000 in taxes - 20% of $370,000 your unrealized gain.
