Patrickt,

I can see that working for small items but damn, $40k engine? Does the person who can plunk down 40 large on a 'replica' engine worry about inflation?

My folks came from Argentina where they saw 1,000% inflation. People would get payed twice a day because their money would be worth less at 4PM than noon. So at lunch, people scrambled to the bodegas and bought essentials, further perpetuating the panic spending.

But on the bright side, you could buy a 57 Chevy for $200 (American equivalent) on every used lot
