racer254 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Remember when spin kept predicting the snowmobile market was crashing. LOL Then covid hit and the prices went crazy. The guy just parrots any narrative he hears. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is moving to cars with sound affects now Yup! I saw a local expert on the news. Everyone is rushing to his shop to have their motors pulled out of their classic and replaced with a battery. The media is so fucked up they couldn’t give 1hr of coverage to the 1.5 million people gathering on Woodward to celebrate the combustion engine. They even turned that into a hour long electric car infomercial. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, he's lying about the HP though, it's more around 425 not 500, my buddy has the same car and Dyno'd at 434hp, they have raced a few times and my buddy beat him every time, or he might not know how to drive.. My buddy drunk at the bar one night was talking about building a Camero, I told him I'd give him 10k for his GTO tomorrow, he shakes my hand, and promptly texted me the next morning, I don't know what I was thinking, I cant sell you my car.. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good point! Heavier sleds with good power, half the suspension and crappy headlights doing 80 - 100 on the trails. I had my share of near death experiences back then that I know with my slower reflexes now I wouldn't make it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are stock though. When I sold my 2000 Trans Am few years back I looked at a couple and almost pulled the trigger. My problem is for $20k I can get into a C5 or C6 Vette which I think I would like better in the long run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK..prices…yeah they went through the roof and it wasn’t just sleds. Now I know you have a real issue with guy but did you really expect him to forsee Covid and it’s affect on the supply chain? Maybe stick with your idea that everybody was using their unemployment checks for plastic surgery.😂 Edited August 25, 2022 by Jimmy Snacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
