Agreed. This is what zero-interest rate policy does after a decade and a half.. The USD (along with many other currencies) become toilet paper. If you're a real estate speculator or equities person, you become rich. If you're a retiree or anyone on a fixed income, you are reamed by inflation. Ah, but we measure inflation with a basket of goods made for cheaper and cheaper... The big ticket items, porsches and houses and college and healthcare are nowhere near low inflation.
Since about 2001, developed economies of the world have been printing toilet paper money and embracing asset inflation rather than fixing structural problems. This, along with wrong-headed politics and certain unavoidable effects of globalization and technology is leading to our societal undoing in the US and Western Europe. Extreme politics will not get better, it will get worse... |

everytime I start getting interested in 911s, I keep going back to these looking like screaming deals in comparison:

I don’t think 911s are justifiable at this point, with the possible exception of a 997S if you can find the right one.

this is a100% perfect spec for what I'd want. Unfortunately, I expect it to be over $100k and I need to wait until at least 3rd quarter 2020 to do anything, but I'm leaving it here for posterity.
*I* love the white, I love the interior brown, I love the wood, I really love the wheels, I love options it has and doesn't have. All things equal, I like the c4 over c2 and I'm fine with a non-s especially w/ PASM and S Chrono.. perfect. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...a-4-cabriolet/
