For sure, I question that too! We saw the primary pressures of inflation on used cars. They account for a little over 1/3 of our reported numbers for June. The Fed is right to wait, but when will they see the “Whites in their eyes” and pull the trigger? Will it be a rifle, shotgun, cannon or nuke?

If fuel prices continue an upward trend, that will drive the economy and inflation to a breaking point. We can then all open up our Billy Beer can stash and reminisce about which was worse, the 70s or now.
