It ain't good, but it is less bad than the astronomical rate of appreciation that took place in the housing market due to the Fed's reckless money printing. After the party comes the hangover.

No it's necessary. It's the market's relentless quest for equilibrium. I don't know why anyone would be surprised, mortgage rates have risen substantially. Couple that with the irrational appreciation, and you get a lot of pullback. I also noticed that the car lots I passed today are full of inventory, so that shit finally seems to be getting back to baseline too. Equilibrium.

I actually saw an f150 TV ad offering dealer cash back on new truck purchases. That shit all stopped the last year.

Those must be coming off the line in Kansas City and they're backfilling closest to the plant first because neither the Ford nor Chevy dealer here ever has more than 1 truck in stock and usually they have 0. I drive by them both everyday and I don't think I've seen a new F-150 in a few weeks and the last one they had was some lifted tricked out sumnabitch that prolly cost $80k.

Both the Dodge and Chevy dealerships I passed were flush with new trucks. Especially the Dodge lot. They had so many that they were parking some on the grass adjacent to the lot. I was kind of taken aback, I've been so used to seeing pretty scarce lots.

I was kind of taken aback, I've been so used to seeing pretty scarce lots. Drove by again this morning, they have one new Bronco and no other new inventory. I figured once they got chips there would be a glut, I suspect with gas sofaking high and the train system so backed up they're gonna flood the Midwest first, then prolly Tejas and Oklahoma with massive i-35 runs, then maybe our area. Their assholes have to be clenched watching credit tighten and the economy starting to tank, plus $4 gas. If I was Ford I'd go ahead and pretend it is 2007 again and get my ass an irrevocable giant credit facility to stave off bankruptcy.

Ford has a rather large presence in KC, and there are several lots around the metro with over 1000 in each of them. The one close to me has appr0ximately 4500 left and they are shipping them off several times daily.

I think this is a big driver behind these auto manufacturers going electric, even with electric's drawbacks: It removes the gas pricing uncertainty when calibrating production and consumer incentives become untethered to fuel costs.
