"You could win a new car"?

    Here's the catch. Just try filling it up with gas when prices go to the moon and beyond and/or it becomes impossible to find gas as the filling stations. And that is after paying the damn income tax on it (yes, the Rothschilds are going to tax it as income), which could easily be another $30,000. If you already make $30,000, that could significantly jack up your tax bill. By something like $5,000 or more.

    Besides, the place that is advertising this promotion has higher prices than its competition. I noticed in the Consumer Reports that Wegmans has a large area that has stores competing with Tops (which is running the giveaway). In other parts, you might have Publix. Both are cheaper than Tops--you are more likely to come out ahead by shopping at Wegmans or Publix (Wegmans is spreading through the Northeast and mid Atlantic; Publix is in the South), taking the money you save, and putting it in investment silver. Hold onto that, and when hyperinflation drives gas prices to the moon (or the edge of the universe), take one ounce of silver and buy several (or more) cars. You still won't be able to get the gas, but you will be several cars ahead of the winner of the competition. Besides, you will be getting better products--both Wegmans and Publix are consistently rated high in the rankings for supermarkets, while Tops is consistently in the bottom third.

    So you are basically saying that it would be bad luck to win a new car?

    Actually, I saw the ad right here on the forum--shop at Tops (and pay their higher prices for inferior products), and be entered for a chance to win a car. Yes, you actually get the car--but, that assumes you actually win the damn thing. And, with the thousands of entries per day, you are more likely to come out ahead going to Wegmans, Publix, or Wal-Mart and paying their lower prices.

    Then, watch the gas fireworks when the shortages come up (thanks to the EPA regulations) this December, along with hyperinflation driving up the price of gas when China decides to dump all its Treasury holdings just when the Fed needs to raise more money. At which point, your hard assets are going to appreciate sharply while the dollar will plummet. At the point when this is at its worst, you could easily find car prices plummeting because people cannot afford the gas. Buy it then, with the hard assets you saved by shopping where it is cheaper, and wait for the gas crisis to settle. You will probably be way ahead doing that.

    I bet the V8 will no longer be the engine of choice for many Americans (are you guys still in love with gas guzzlers?).

    I guess the ad is down now--I didn't find it on this forum this morning. But I found it twice yesterday, and yes there are three choices of cars. Most people would be wise to choose the Ford Focus, because it seems more fuel efficient, if you have the choice and you do win the car. Better yet, a bicycle (those use no gas, and you pedal past the high gas prices and gas jacking/shortages).
