Port Strike Impact on Auto Industry

If anyone is like me and is expecting a car to be shipped from overseas in the coming weeks, it seems we’re f*cked for now

Did Max G just make a joke for the first time in LH history?

A joke at my expense but a joke nonetheless. Glad I can facilitate it for the good for community.

This strike was over due, should of happen sooner, glad they got in touch with all the members across the nation to stay united, hopefully they can come to a agreement soon

What about the ones going overseas?

  • Toyota’s plants in:
    • Alabama (Huntsville and Montgomery)
    • Kentucky (Georgetown)
    • Tennessee (Chattanooga)
  • Hyundai/Kia’s plants in:
    • Alabama (Montgomery)
    • Georgia (West Point)
    • Tennessee (Chattanooga)
  • Volkswagen’s plant in:
    • Tennessee (Chattanooga)
  • BMW’s plant in:
    • South Carolina (Greenville)

The east coast ports are effectively closed so imports and exports are halted.

I only remember important stuff, like hacked ICE Benz-os.

I wanted @Bumboola , @drdvgrs, @li8625 , and myself to get special tags as forum shitposters, but that idea got shot down. Sad.

You’re putting me in the same category as @bumboola and the Hydrogen man? I’m insulted man. Someone ban this donut! /sarcasm.

But yeah I used to be way more active with memes but honestly I have too many cars right now. Someone take my cars smh…

Some people may not be able to get import cars they want for a while, but if exports are piling up, they can either shut down factories or better, come up with some lease incentives. Many of the listed factors are already mainly domestic, but VW and BMW may be largely export.

Weren’t you going to transfer your 8 series, X5, and X3, and 5 Series to get a 911?

8 series, X3, X7 are on the trade block!

Hell if my favorite Porsche Dealer is willing, I’ll sell/refinance one of my houses to get a MSRP GT3 RS.
