Vader, reminds me of the late 70s. During the death of the big block muscle car, you could buy up L88s, Hemis, and...the tri carb/six pack cars dirt cheap all day long. As a young punk I scooped up a loaded Buick GS stage one for a song. Insurance cost me an arm and a leg, and I didn't give a crap about all the fuel/energy crisis BS the press and government was spewing. In the 90s, if I would have kept.....more than just my oldsmobiles...., I could have made a killing time and time over.

I ain't buying the crap they are spewing this time. The bubble will burst soon and all the panic stricken masses giving away their "gas guzzelers" to jump in a death trap scooter with a windshield will never learn. Loosers and whiners.

I think its all about supply and demand and if you get the right market the skies the limit. I import old Land Rovers into the country and if I wanted to invest more time and effort I could sell them as fast as almost I get them in. I park them and do nothing and they sell! So I guess the same in this article. The flip side is I am keeping my H3 because if I pay 2 or 6 dollars a gallon its what I want.
