    Tariffs

    Nope, it's not that 3% of our stuff comes from China. It's that only 3% of China's exports go to the US. In other words. they are only sending us 3% of their stuff that goes out of their country.

    Tariffs

    Yep, it was the bond market issues that caused Trump to chill out at least a little. Not only are bonds being dumped, but the most recent bond auction saw little interest from investors. This is exactly opposite what should have happened given recent stock declines. This is a huge red flag that...

    Whip Storage In Enclosed Trailer

    You don't have any issues getting the thicker whips into the foam? I found I had to roll my thicker whips back and forth quite a bit to get them to seat into the foam.

    Whip Storage In Enclosed Trailer

    The 4" pvc is a possibility as well. I did that several trailers ago and mounted it to the ceiling of the trailer so it was out of the way. My new trailer is 8' inside so I would need to put it on a wall instead. The fishing rod holder was good because the foam helped protect the whips. The...

    Whip Storage In Enclosed Trailer

    Thanks. Did that last time and was hoping to find something better. If not, I'll get another one of those.

    Whip Storage In Enclosed Trailer

    That would wreak havoc with my OCD. Everything must have a specified and purposeful place! If not, it will cause a rift in the space-time continuum :):)

    Whip Storage In Enclosed Trailer

    Anyone have other suggestions for a whip storage rack? I did the fishing rod thing in my last trailer. It was OK but not great. Looking for something better in my new trailer. Thanks!

    Tariffs

    This! And, who couldn't see this coming? There was plenty of time to get out of equities if you so chose to do so. Even before the tariffs the market was grossly overvalued and headed for some amount of correction. Treasuries are still decent. There are also some really good stock values right...

    Tariffs

    I believe tariffs can be a useful tool when used correctly. I also agree that we need a more balanced trade environment. If the current approach brings that in very short order then great! However, I'm concerned the current approach may be severely damaging if it doesn't end or at least get...

    What business would you start?

    Why not buy an existing auto repair shop that has a clientele and good track record? Lots of these sell relatively cheap on an EBITDA or free cash flow multiple basis. Usually because the owner or founder wants to retire.

    Trading In or Selling a Deleted Truck

    Nice truck but too $$ for this poor boy. And we are only allowed to do Ford trucks for our full-size trucks in our family. Sorry.

    Trading In or Selling a Deleted Truck

    I'm more interested in ease of transaction and just not losing a bunch of value than I am in trying to get a little more. I would think there are few buyers willing to travel long distances given trucks are pretty easy to come by?

    Trading In or Selling a Deleted Truck

    Has anyone recently traded in or sold a deleted truck? Did you have any issues? How much value %, if any, did you lose? I've got a deleted 2014 F350 I bought for my daughter awhile ago and it is now time for me to get her a newer truck. I'm wondering how hard it is going to be to deal with the...

    Well its Friday March 28th 2025.. What are you doing this weekend?

    Did a 7 hr road trip yesterday in the Moho from our home in Oregon to just outside Boise Idaho. Came here to buy and pick up my new (to me) daily driver. Got it yesterday afternoon and it is now loaded in the enclosed. Starting the trek back home shortly but dividing the return into two days...

    Lets talk Engine Builders...

    Also depends what you want to build. Are you doing a blower motor or TT ? How crazy on HP are you wanting?

    Lets talk Engine Builders...

    I think you also have to factor in if you are dealing with an existing car/engine or if building new. For new builds, I believe it is imperative to use an engine builder that your car builder is familiar with and has a good working relationship with. This helps to avoid unexpected surprises. I...

    6.0 delete and bulletproof requirements?

    Here's a list of everything to do it. Remember, even if you do the bulletproof mods, the buyer pool when you sell is very small. Many won't touch a 6.0 no matter what. I'm a die hard Ford truck guy and I won't buy one...
