I have 6 in the yard, counting my sons Subaru. I have the 2 98 F150's, my Mustang, Fusion, and a motorhome (Chevy, I know but the wife wanted it), and a boat. I had to take the boat up to my buddies to store it. The motorhome is down in the holding yard. I'm car poor for parking.

Has anyone already started to see a shift in pricing for auto parts? Ebay? Amazon? I ran into it today on some shocks and front end parts. Looking at the prices then checking the wikibuy link, you start to notice that price increases. One item, went from 9.00 to 11.00 since friday. I expect to see a big increase shortly in all automotive parts across the board. I don't like where we are headed right now. I'm wondering what is next.

I'm the say way. I buy and stock up over the winter months and then leave it in boxes so I don't have to do it, if I can't find it. LOL
I saw this tonight and It reminded me of Brew......

Imho, we should have never let ourselves get so dependant on foreign sources- we have the ability to mfg. anything- but our industry has become beholden to the investors so much that lure and siren song of cheap labor has driven a large percentage of our manufacturing overseas. (What happened to “a bushel of wheat for a barrel of oil”?- or a bushel of transistors?) The foreign communities have been putting high tarrifs on our goods to make them less desireable to their consumers for years-
