I don't know what you're trying to say with this.
Compound interest, or inflation, is a bitch. Even at a measly 2.5% inflation over the past 13 years, $4 dollar a gallon gas in 2008 would be $5.51 a gallon gas in 2021. We're not even close to $5.51 gas. Gas is still fucking cheap by historical standards, no matter how you look at the data.

The low inflation we've had for the past 20 years was a result of economic stagnation, not a sign of anything good.

The sky is not blue.
You literally just posted that high gas prices mean the economy is good.
Now gas prices aren’t high. Are you high?

Three series in sport mode with the twin turbos fully engaged, the steering tightening up and the gears not short shifting is a nice ride. It's not a lambo, but 90 mph rides like 30 mph.
And of course I'm pretentious, I drive a Beemer biatch.

It’s probably not a bad play but the price in used cars has me wary they will sell much. I was looking at a car that msrp at ~36k, 1-2 years old sells for ~31k. Those 1-2 year old used cars are now at $42k in just the last couple months. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to get priced out of decent used cars really fucking quick with that kid of ridiculous price hike happening that fast. I’m afraid 2022 new cars prices are going to be the largest yoy change we’ve ever seen. I personally know two people who were used car hunting the past couple months and this week they both said the prices skyrocketed this month and they stopped looking.Hey guys.
Thoughts on CarMax, Inc. (KMX)?

Dipped today. Up a little AA.
I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of used cars on the market soon. Can't make the payments when the Biden bucks run out and you're effective wage is cut in half.
I don’t have 146 IQ though so take this post with a grain of salt.
