An old ford truck may not be such a bad investment as we transition into an apocalyptic hellscape society.
This is clearly photoshopped as a joke. Why is everyone taking it seriously lmao
It’s Lemmy, it’s what we do.
It’s not even a new joke.
It’s Lemmy, it’s what we do.
Immediately made me think of this hahaha
My first thought was ‘fake account’ but i’d believe it to be a photoshopped graphic as well.
The value of almost any car travels in a bell curve. They’re worth a lot when new, next to nothing in 15-20 years or so, then, when most of them have been scrapped, they start to come up in value.
A 20-30 year old truck, particularly one in good condition, will almost certainly be increasing in value, and you can drive it around.
Although a better option would be a nineties Hilux.
That’s not a bell curve. Maybe some kind of beta, but the beta distribution only exists from 0 to 1, it’s cannot deal with infinite ranges. You can né thinking on something that starts as an exponential distribution curve, but growths at the end, but I have never found that kind of curve on my studies.
Upside down bell curve, if you must. Kinda.
The point is, the value will bottom out at some point, then, due to scarcity, will slowly start to climb. So, if you “buy the dip”, and especially if you pick the right vehicle, it absolutely will go up in value.
Is this real?
No.
