Tracker,

Look when people take the thread into the ditch and away from the cars and start posting media hype the matter becomes matter a fact then doesn't it?

To be fair this is This is a Muscle car forum-- right you are-- so why do links to media keep getting posted here to add to the fear?

That is precisely the point I am making in my replies to this thread to date.

Did anyone watch Mecum? Not encouraging. The longer term concern is boomers are in their fall and winter of the hobby, and younger folks can't relate to muscle cars on a scale like our generation.. because they didn't experience it first hand like we did.

If I am being accused as a Fear Monger let me apologize to all. It was my intention to post articles and discuss issues that would help members get a better understanding of the current situation that is affecting all of us.

I took this liberty with the best intentions. The thread starter asked for speculative opinions: Musclecar prices and the possible recession. I saw that as an opportunity to discuss the possibility of a recession based on the issues that are causing said recession; COVID-19 and what has happened to the Oil market. If you believe it is anything else then we agree to disagree.

I have stopped posting in this thread and have moved over to my thread: You Can't Make This Stuff Up! If you would like to discuss these two issues further it is probably a better place. Of course someone (not me) could start a new thread in the Lounge Forum specifically dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lee,

I am not sure we need a thread on an issue which will be in all likelihood a non issue in 60 days or less.

We just hurt ourselves and the hobby in the process if we give in to the fear and hype currently surrounding this.

YOU said this epidemic was a media "hoax" in your post on March 10 - now, gee, who talks like that and uses that kind of phrasing...hmmmmm....let me think. Try telling families who have lost loved ones to this that they are the victims of a hoax - let's see how that goes for you.

This above phrasing in certain posts is what I am referring to markinnaples - I'm just calling it out. If you don't see it, and smell it, I can't help ya.

There have been some links here that are useful and helpful including Tenney's youtube link. i found it informative and thank him for posting it.

It's summer in Australia.

The media sensationalizes everything as a general statement. For instance when we get 3 inches of snow here on Long Island it's considered a blizzard and half the island shuts down.


I use that as an example of our local media outlets. I certainly don't want to minimize the present situation. Regarding our site quite honestly I get tired of all the updates posted on how far the stock market has dropped. You can get real-time analysis from whatever news outlet you fancy.


The steps that have been taken to curb the spread of the virus hopefully will have the correct effect. There are unknowns and peoples natural reaction is flight or fight. Lets fight through this together.


The best thing we can do is support each other, discuss our projects, new acquisitions and how your car performed on your last drive. For example I took the 67 L78 survivor Camaro out yesterday. With 456's I can't shift fast enough, with D-70-14 the tires grab like I'm on snow, and at 50mph I'm running 3150 rpm's. With that said, I enjoyed the heck out of the drive. Oh I took a picture when I stopped at a Harbor Freight store. met a bunch of motorheads and talked tools


Let's stick to the ultimate mission/goal of the site, a place where likeminded enthusiast can exchange ideas, develop friendships, and help other hobbyist and share our car experiences.


Lets get back to our mission......

Please! Take the time and effort to educate me where you firmly believe the COVID-19 pandemic here in the USA will be a "non-issue in 60 days or less."

Lee,
No need to apologize as I feel we all appreciate your inputs on this site. I feel it is ok to have healthy debate over things as we are all individuals and cant possibly agree on all things. (as long as it does not turn into personal attacks)

No one knows how this will turn out and that causes worry which makes sense. Sometimes chatting it up with like minded individuals (cars not political affiliation) eases some of the worry.

I have some worry, My wife and I are 44 years old. non smokers and live a healthy lifestyle but she got severe pneumonia 2 years ago and still has respiratory issues.
I have 2 young kids, one in day care...

My wife and I are both Employers to 8 people that have families and rely on us as much as we rely on them.

With that being said I think we are all going to be Ok as long as we have our families and friends/friends of this site around us!
