Isn’t this just a result of the tariffs?
I recall thinking back in like march that it would be 4-6 months out before we would see real impact on the economy since major manufacturers generally operate that far out. Now we’re at the point where all of the “extra” materials that could be bought ahead of tariffs has run out.

This is how I’ve gotten by but it’s not without drawbacks. Ive spent more than a few weekends working on my shitboxes just to keep them rolling for a few more months. Better off financially for it, but not knowing if I’ll actually make it to work until i get a chance to fix something is very stressful
Bigger issue is the shitboxes got more expensive too. What used to be a $500 beater is now $2000+
