not down here....... but I like your optimism :beer:

used car prices have increased one because of inflation, two because more and more people are buying used instead of new to save money..... that to me is not the sign of a rebounding economy. A spike in new cars sells would signal an upswing in my eyes, I think things will stay pretty much where they are until after the election, and from there who knows :hillbilly:

I would agree. We may be slowly, decimal point by decimal point, improving, but it will be a couple years before we are good again. I just hope we don't go through another stimulus package, Cash for Clunkers phase again...just adds more depth to the hole we are already in.
 
I've learned a ton about the real estate market in the past six months. My house in Travelers Rest was purchased for a good price (good price for us) about 7 years ago (or so). It's value is down 20% and it is not expected to be back to it's original value for years - I'd guess 5+ easy, maybe 8+. We have a long ways to go but I sure am rootin' for our economy. Please come back... (and don't get me started about the county upping our home taxes by 25% while values are down 20%. That's a 45% (ish) swing.

whatcha talkin bout Rick?? Everyone knows the best way to get out of a recession is to spend more money that you don't have:hillbilly: makes perfect logical sense. It's like getting a new credit card to payoff the credit card you have already maxed out :bang: I have come to loath those hacks that make up our goverment :mad:

Speaking of holes. If John Lee, JP and Chuck were in a hole who would get out first?

Trick question, none. They would all pee on JP's bare feet and then b!t@h about the stench :flipoff2:
 
Juice.

Yes I do. I don't like breaking anything and having to ask my friends to help. Especially when I knew I would break a pinion on that hill.

The enjoyment for me is getting there without breaking. And having a good time with friends and family.

Maybe that's why Chuck doesn't wheel. He knows he is going to break even before we get to the trail. Hmmmm

I remember the first time we went wheeling with Marshall and we were goin up the power line trail...Marshall experienced his vehicle flexing for the first time...the first little bump he heard this clink clink clink and he slams on the breaks and goes OH MY GOSH something's broke I know it...well JP and I (the experts) aka the wheeling mafia quickly discovered his drive shaft was rubbing the skid plate...which we were like just drive it you'll be fine...well that lead to a 30 minute break down so Marshall could fix the plate so it wouldn't rub anymore...weenie wheeler
 
Been there many times. They are all graded dirt roads now.

I hope you are right, but alas I fear it's just political manipulation of the system to try to make the incumbant lock compitent. Things often get better artifically close to the presidental elections, that is if the powers that be want to keep the incumbant. Oh what a can of worms I just opened!!!!!!!! ;)
