Just a thought - not ragging on you, just thinking out loud...

Well...it won't be a bummer for the guy wanting to buy a builder 5-10 years from now thats not rusted to death . I'm not buying them and flipping for twice the price in a week . I'LL WANT 20 TIMES THE MONEY HAHA !. NO really I'm keeping some old metal around for the next builder wanting a solid truck to start with . It's a gamble on the price going up but look whats happened in just the last 5 years . think of it this way maybe the next round of guys will want completely stock trucks instead of chopped up ls conversions dropped to the ground with "patina" it's called investing for the future and every truck out there is an investment to be sold someday by the owner his kids or grandkids . heck by 10 years from now they may make them hover on solar power !
banks pay basically nothing in interest on cash someone has sitting in an account whats wrong with investing in some old trucks ? There are dozens of members in here with 3 times the number of trucks I have stashed .1 is just a hobby
