As long as there is a slight improvement to the economy later this year, otherwise the Democrats' message for 2026 will be "Trump ruined the economy!" And Impeachement #3 will be on the way if they get the House again.

Facts never stopped the Dems before! They're probably counting on Tarriffs hurting the economy (even in the short term) so they have something to run in the mid-terms.

But, if the economy grows DESPITE the tariffs (and I mean in the sense that consumer prices go down and employment of citizens go up) their talking points about muh GDP won't have any teeth and I will laugh.

why isn't there someone out there making faux classic cars? I guess there's no money in it?

This does exist! But it exists in the form of "kit cars" which requires a donor car of some sort:

"The only things you’ll need are the engine/transmission/rear end, wheels/tires, and a paint job."

The main issue with a company releasing a recreation of a classic car is that it legally cannot be sold without all the legally required shit like backup cameras, ABS, emissions control devices, so it wouldn't be the same as the original. It would also get terrible crash ratings. But selling it as a kit car seems to get around the issue because they aren't releasing a car, they are releasing parts that consumers can build into a car. Hopefully they are street legal, otherwise they get to be a garage queen.
 
I'm not worried about the economy. An indisputable recession has been delayed during chomo joe's time in office via monetary policy trickery but any downturn that starts in early 2025 may be gone by the midterms in November 2026, and even if it persists into the midterms it'll be gone by November 2028 for an easy J.D. Vance win.

If egg prices drop when the new flock hits maturity, that alone will deal a huge blow to the narrative even if other economic markers aren't as positive.
It'll be the consequence of, dare I say it, putting all your eggs in one basket.

Dude, he's only pushing buttons. The whole thing came about because Castro's people told him "we're basically not a country unless you let us fuck you uwu no bulli" If he somehow annexes or occupies Canada I will wear the suit

I won’t Holocaust sperg or anything, but my highschool English class made us read Night and that book was the first time I ever questioned the validity of the claims. That whole death march scene where the Jew managed to hide a violin at the camp for months while keeping it in perfect playing condition only to pull it out mid March and play it while his fingers were frozen just screamed fake to me. Nothing about that book seemed realistic after we got to that moment. But literally every time I bring this up, people lose their shit because I dared speak ill of Elie Weisel

Fun fact: the original Yiddish version of Night is basically an entirely different book than the English translation. Trying to find copies of the Yiddish version is damn near impossible. There was one attempt to translate the Yiddish version into English and the O GAWADs that were screamed were enough to discourage it.

Really, as long as things improve a bit by the first HALF of 2026 nothing matters.

And lastly, you could be 7/8ths or even up to 63/64ths white and still be considered black because of how the laws were, and because you were property it was very easy to track your family tree. Julia Chinn was 7/8ths white and was de facto married to her master but was still considered a slave because of the laws of the time. Even the hitpieces of the era basically drew her with a bone through her nose, despite her being as white as Elizabeth Warren is today.

Elizabeth Warren is the whitest woman in America. She is 1023/1024 European.

Because all of the tooling is destroyed, it's retardedly expensive and the market, despite what retards on X and social media say, is ridiculously small. The vast majority of people wouldn't be comfortable driving a pre 1990s car and 99.5% wouldn't be comfortable driving a pre 1980s car.

A backup camera is retardedly cheap as are ABS control modules, TCS and ESC. Those 7-14 inch automotive grade LCD displays are also cheap as shit, as are ECUs, fuel injectors and so on.

The expensive part is the vehicle crash structure. Those cost millions upon millions to develop and vehicle platforms can cost hundreds of millions.

The days of the 1930s VW Bug getting build and sold until 1998 are dead and gone. Or the 1960s Mini being in continual production until 1996.

I've thought about an "omnicar" or "Omni vehicle" platform. To be easier to convert it would probably be a body on frame design so you're immediately taking a hit on internal volume and crash worthiness. So then insuring it and selling to to the generally retarded consumer base gets harder.

A unibody omnicar would end up looking like a Corolla or a VW Golf (or both is you have a sedan and hatchback option)

Then.... You've just cloned preexisting vehicles and unless yours are retardedly cheap... Enjoy bankruptcy.

The universal platform is the battery electric sled or skateboard chassis to which any body can be fit. It exists as GM's BEV3.
