I have been looking at bottom feeder box truck for hauling #1 boy’s possessions from house we are selling to him in ND. Pickem up and enclosed truck/van prices are still up there. I do notice a number of commuter cars around the neighborhood that have not been moved for at least a year. Everybody is camped at home with face diapers and not at work. White privileged Tesla area, not “essential” workers around here.
SWMBA is in the market for a new car and is having a hard time not wanting to be stuck with generic red/white/black/grey. She was told by one dealer that she could special order, but with the caramba virus and the chip shortage, the car in the color she wants would arrive around 2025.
