I haven't visited this thread in a couple of days. Is it me or the sticker on the Hellcat is added wrong? Looks like the $500 is not in the math.

Both my 2008 and 2012 GX’s had the tow package and both were exposed and are seen below the bump out in the first two pics above, not behind it. The first two pics are GX’s without the tow package.

Rubicon 392, this is not an ADM...this is the MSRP. Although a HEMI Wrangler is pretty cool:




I posted this in the Sequoia thread. Sequoia Capstone:


missed this when posted... 100k is the new 50k.

even though it was a 'mad' purchase, i now feel my 100k lc500 was a bargain.

Agree, not to go OT but I got a steal on my boat looking back. It would cost at least 20 grand more this year if I spec'd it the same.

inflation is a killer. i put a new roof and ac on my house recently... a fortune, but i know it will be 10+% more a year from now, so better to do it now.

Yeah I've been having a "fun" time with helping everyone I know with projects like that since costs have gotten too high. I probably should keep it more quiet that I know how to do a lot of trades...

Yeah we also paid 8 grand for an HVAC that used to be 6. And the other one is about to blow too.

Car repairs costing more as well I'm assuming??

I haven't raised prices yet but I probably should.....I just repaired a 2500 with a $1900 dealer repair quote for the upstream NOX sensor for $585 all in.

I will be starting my AC unit this summer for year 30 of operation lol! I need to get it a soft start system and new caps before I bring it online. At this point I'm just going to run it to 50 years

but these cars are not inflated though. Maybe a few grands more this year? Last week I saw three LC in the showroom at a little over 100k. Maybe people are not as much interested in V8 as some may think?

Get the Trane XR14, no frills but works amazing. Workhorse. It's what all the installers have at their houses I made sure to ask lol.

What about car leasing? Surely that Mercedes or BMW lease payment will cost way more now?
