Re Modern Cars With 7-8-9 Speed Transmissions?

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 12:20 on January 23, 2018  

Go out and price the cost of rebuilding the tranny when it blows. So expensive you have to junk the car. I know used car dealers that won’t buy those cars, or offer very little at auctions etc because they have to stand behind the car if the tranny goes, $6-$7,000 repair. Often only make $1,000 on a used car. Can’t risk a $6000 comeback.

If you REALLY want to see how good your new import is, check the owners manual and check “towing capacity”. My little ’98 mini-blazer, body on frame quality, with a 4.3 liter V6 tows 5,000 lbs. Your import? Figure 1,200 lbs. Weaklings. Geared low, to make them feel peppy.

If your life depended on it you can’t get a car with a 4.3 liter engine. More manipulation. Not allowed.

I agree after 1970, American cars (and the whole damn country, went down hill. The illegal immigrant cars, were better and cheaper. (cheap labor and cheap prices not fair, drives out the good domestic jobs) I shouldn’t have to explain any of this. They Globalized us, and US failure starting in 1971 culminated in 2008 crash.

Domestic makers had to cut back on quality to compete. They SHOULD have just shut down totally in 1971 and say “We can’t compete, we give up”. I’m pretty sure the domestic/global car makers were quietly encouraged  to give Americans CRAP to encourage Americans to buy foreign. Welfare for other countries.

The global influences thought the USA living standards were TOO high, and had to be scared with less fortunate countries. Satellite TV (and Archie Bunker) exposed  our higher standards. Remember the cash for clunker scheme?? Numerous American cars worth $800 were turned in at $4000, and they all bought new imported cars.

I drove behind the local Toyota dealer, and saw all the used turned Explorers, Blazers etc. Welfare for Japan. I have an ’89 Chevy van with 208,000 miles, its fine. I have a ’98 GMC Jimmy with 165,000 miles. I’ve spoken to people with 300,000 miles on the 4.3 liter V6 and 5.7 liter V8.

If you bought the Cadillac, and or the Olds,  pre owned, used, back then, odds are the clock was turned back, and your cars really had 250k each on them.  And only God knows how they were treated.

I’ve seen many friends and relatives that ALWAYS bought used American cars, got fed up, switched and bought a NEW NEW foreign made car. They did EXACTLY what TPTB wanted. Give money to a socialist foreign nation.

What a nightmare. Hope you had bumper to bumper warrantees on them. I think we all had our issues with cars as well as mechanics. One mechanic somehow put a hole in my carb and was leaking gas on the pipes below. I heard a sizzling on the Fwy pulled over and a cop pulled over and saw it too when I opened the hood. Kept on about how dangerous that was. They won’t admit they mess up either or didn’t then. Another problem occurring now even with foreign cars are the electric cars and batteries. They sell them used and people suddenly find the battery no good and don’t have the 6-8 thousand to replace it and may be still paying on it. Meanwhile crazy Brown of Calif wants to try to mandate all cars be electric by some future date. Wonder what kick backs he’s getting from that. These sanctuary states should be investigated and follow the money.

You bet. I’m don’t know much about PVG but that grade shortfall could be a big problem. The whole deposit could be worth less than previously thought. On the other hand maybe their next quarter it turns out as expected. Isn’t mining fun!

Cheers

ipso, PVG

Posted by aufever @ 11:40 on January 23, 2018  

Thanks for that info! I sold my little bit of PVG quite a while ago based on something I read warning about a problem or problems, and have been kicking myself ever since as it just went up and up, more than most PM stocks.
Now I see it wasn’t a mistake to get out of it.
I thought it was last year, but I looked and I sold 2 years ago.

The worst car I ever owned was a Cadallic 1977 ..an absolute disaster ..everything went bad…the transmission ,the radiator leaked fluid into it and everything went out.All the electric windows went bad.The trunk lock had to be drilled to open it .It was just one thing after another,kept it one year and dumped it..Bought an OLDS 98 and in 6 months  the MOTOR MOUNT fell off while on vacation in N.C. motor was cocked to one side and ruined the Radiator wipers ruined the Radio antenna  located inside the glass….Dumped that dog withen 6 months ..Two brand new expensive cars ,the worst piece of shits both of them GM..never bought another GM since and wont…nothing but TOYOTAS for me  ..Had 6 of them between me & the wife over 30 years never took 1 of them back to the shop for anything..  My only regret was not keeping them longer .I gave one to my son when he Graduated College ..It had 200,000 miles on it..He drove it to California to get his first job ..He drove it for 5 more years and only sold it because it failed “polution “emissions  new standards ….at that time….Back in the seventies those UNION hoodlums that were building GM & FORDS  in NJ   would deliberately sabotage them if the companies wouldent give them what they demanded …I said goodbye and never looked back .Maybe they changed ,too late for me ! I think they all learned a lesson ,but I got a long memory and am not very forgiving when I bought expensive cars and got crap in return ..It was hard earned money…..

A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
Cry ‘Havoc,’ and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial. (3.1.254-275)

this suppression and constant raids are being done in advance of a dollar that is going a lot lower

OTOH a falling dollar has to lead to some spikes eventually – at what point does the dam break???

Rick Rule – Sprott planning a Gold-Backed Crypto Currency

from Financial Survival Network

Sprott Global’s Rick Rule joined us today and had some huge news. The wizards of Sprott have been working overtime to bring us a gold-backed/convertible crypto currency. Imagine taking your token and exchanging it for gold! The physical gold will be stored by the Royal Mint of Canada. As Rick likes to say, “Imagine your gold being protected by NATO.” There’s going to be a tremendous add-on market for ancillary services once the currency is widely excepted and distributed. And perhaps the reason for precious metal ETF’s will diminish or even disappear. And to think it’s all going to start within a week to 10 days. Now that’s change you can believe in!

40,000 Indians Flee As Fighting Erupts On Pakistan Border

Along the 786 km-long Line of Control (LoC) which divides the State of Jammu Kashmir between India and Pakistan, sporadic cross-border military gunfire between both countries is not that unusual.

However, this weekend, in the region of Noushera, Rajouri and Akhnoor sectors of Jammu and Kashmir, more than 40,000 Indians have fled their homes and shops amid the fourth consecutive day of intense shelling from Pakistani military forces, the Economic Times reports.

Argentina and the Chubut mining detente: Good for PAAS and Navidad (from IKN453)

You’re going to have to be selective, as the sudden thawing in anti-mining attitude in the province of Chubut in Argentina willnot apply to those projects to the West near the Andean Cordillera. However, those in the C-Suite at Pan American Silver (PAAS) must be more optimistic about Navidad’s chances than they’ve been in years. The following a segment from IKN453, out Sunday evening.

Pretium Gold getting hit pre market

Posted by ipso facto @ 9:09 on January 23, 2018  

From Otto Rock

“Pretium (PVG) 4q17: Hello Strathcona

The market is going to make love up the bottom of PVG this morning on the back of this 4q17 production NR, just 70,281 oz gold produced. But the really nasty bit is this:

Grade reconciliation to the reserve model for the period August 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 was approximately 75% to 80%.

And did you notice how PVG “forgot” to mention the average head grade in that NR? Well let IKN help because by using the grade, tonnage thoughput and gold production data given we can math it out: It’s 8.40445 grams per tonne. And that’s a big fat miss.”

Good deal! About time!=Last weekend, around 100 masked neo-Nazis took part in an illegal demonstration

German City Bans All New Refugees As Violent Crime Spikes

One small German city has started turning away new refugees amid an explosion of violence between the newcomers and a burgeoning (and illegal) neo-Nazi group that has taken root in the city.

Officials in the city of Cottbus – located about 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) – has been plagued by a surge of attacks from refugees and right-wing extremists since the beginning of the year.

According to Fox News, Brandenburg state police said two Syrian teenage boys were arrested under the suspicion of injuring a German teenager in the face with a knife last week.

Brandenburg

The 16-year-old reportedly sustained injuries that were not life-threatening during a fight between Syrian and German schoolmates.

Days before the fight, a group of three Syrian asylum-seekers, aged 14, 15 and 17, attacked a51-year-old man and his wife outside a shopping center.

Officials handed the 15-year-old a “negative residency permit” effectively ordering him and his father to leave the city, Fox News reported.

The small university town – which has about 100,000 German residents – has taken in about 3,000 asylum-seekers sine German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened Germany’s doors to migrants in 2015.

Last weekend, around 100 masked neo-Nazis took part in an illegal demonstration when they marched through the city’s center, the Daily Mail reported.

Brandenburg Interior Minister Karl-Heinz Schroeter told the Mail that the ban on new refugees would be in effect ‘for the next few months’.

Cottbus will also implement safety measures including increased video surveillance, a larger presence of police officers and 10 new social worker positions throughout local schools, officials said.

A few weeks ago, a study published by a German criminologist found that the influx of mostly young, male migrants had led to an increase in violent crime.
