Buy up as many old cars as you can afford/store. Having an old car in 2022 is like having a wallet with a BitCoin in it was back in 2012.

The new production cars are nothing but tracking devices disguised as a means of personal transportation. You'll soon have to have an acceptable social credit score to go anywhere.

(showerthought) In India, you can buy a new car stripped down. Seats and windshields are add-ons. (showerthought) Copper is selling for $4.50 a pound. (showerthought) I need a fucking steam engine.

Buy good working used car parts for rare cars and sit on them. They're going to become exceedingly valuable.

most people have no idea. the junk yard is a gold mine.

K20 engines used to go for $900-$1,400 now they're $2k and up. Don't even get me started with civic transfer cases.

I will NEVER sell my 2004 Astro van. It only has 72k miles on it! Love it.

It's worth a lot now. It will be worth 10k times as much in about 30 years.

Had a couple of those for work vans. Served me well. Kinda wish I still had one!

It's the grocery-getter model, but I threw away the back seats, and use as a work van. My second Astro...they had the lowest repair and recall rate of any Chevy ever made! Highly recommend.

Same here, hauled a lot of shit with ‘em. Always liked vans so I didn’t have to bring tools in at night. Pickups are easier to load, but everything is exposed to weather and niggers.

Remember cash for clunkers? A lot of good cars were destroyed.

What are you trying to say? What's wrong with getting people who own their vehicle to get it destroyed so they can get into debt? What's wrong with financing a vehicle I can't afford in exchange for convincing me to willingly turn over property I owned to be destroyed? I don't see why it's a bad thing for me to give away my running, 9-year-old suv I own outright that only gets 18mpg and has an earth-destroying 88,000 miles on the odometer to get into debt on a newer sedan that gets 20mpg on a 72-month loan.

Plato or Ben Franklin...who the fuck knows? But one of them said, "neither a borrower nor lender be". That's good advice.

lol...

I forget what they were paying people, but I remember being pissed that I didn't qualify because my car got too good of MPG. Just another government handout I couldn't get, but was expected to pay for.

It sounds like you could have afforded to use the credit to actually buy a newer vehicle. You’re not the target audience. You belonged on the side who’d finance (taxes) the kikes financing deadbeats who’d, 3 missed payments later, be left with no vehicle even worse credit.

Another thing one might wanna consider is hit and miss engines. They’ll run on just about any shit fuel, including wood fuel. They can belt drive all kinds of things depending on HP size. Heavy bastards, but very simple and can run day and night on very little fuel.

I'm betting on vehicles that have carbs, run on points and distributor (zero computers), and have been sold in countries where the fuel is barely 1 step above ditch water. I have enough consumable spares to keep them going well beyond my life expectancy (and all the paper manuals to make them valuable to folks beyond me). One for good roads and fuel efficiency, one for bad or no roads ~ both setup to be quickly/easily swapped between gas and alcohol (well, 2nd is a new purchase so I'm working on the alcohol quick-swap).

BTW, there's some cheap stock for a copper mine in Montana that'll be coming online soon. SRAFF, think it's under $0.20 share currently, might be worth tossing a hundred or two towards (or more, if your income and risk tolerance allows).

100% correct about the replacement of user serviceable cars. EVs can be turned off same way OnStar can stop veichles of the feds want them to. Also when the power grid goes out you have no car. The very old cars will survive even an EMP attack.

Would be cool to just take engines and build your own car

At this point they are worth their weight in weight. I was looking at buying weights the other day and there are weights on the market for $2 pound. Some people still think its reasonable to sell a beat up car for $400. Just in sheer weight it's worth more than that.

Had my 95 Ford for almost 20 years. Never selling it.

will be worthless with no or too expensive gas

Get smarter.

Any ICE that runs on gasoline, can run on Alcohol with very minimal changes. Any dipshit with more smarts than ye ole nigger, sadly that appears to be above your smarts level, can distill alcohol with shit that's floating around every home already.
