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.

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).
