Saw this video a while ago, agreed 100%. The government's spending problem and the US people's spending problem are intrinsically linked and in many ways one in the same. No one ever wants to cut spending, even when they can't afford their level of consumption. The problem is that it's easy to add programs/incentives/services but politicians have a much harder time taking those away even when it is a necessity to decrease spending because that would be political suicide.

While I don't think buying silver ingots is the best form of action, it's a shame the US has reached its current position.

The problem is... that no one listened for all those years that this could have been turned around. Now, it's too late (almost).

Glad I don't live in the USA. Nothing personal to you folks.... but we're in much better shape up north of the border.

You're from Canada? If you think your economy isn't intricately tied to that of the US, you're in for a rude awakening.

Yep. Whatever happens to the American economy will reach out and touch us up here. I too watched that video in its entirety just now. It's exactly what my investment advisor preached to me yesterday. She pulled out a real Canadian silver dollar circa 1962 and a Canadian dollar bill. Which would buy more gasoline she asked? I now understand. I'm staying the course with my investments in physical gold and other precious metals.

Not getting into a political discussion, but I will say that everything that has been mentioned or hinted at has been debated by numerous economists.

I will also say this: HKS' departure has little to nothing to do with anything but the fact that they just aren't that great. I've constantly rolled by eyes at the hella JDM yo sort of attitude that many people seem to have.

Most people have been buying knock-offs because, really, there is no reason not to. They are just as good and cost less. That's competition.

Top Secret will probably be next.

That is too bad - my MR2 SC was setup with an HKS Stage II kit, nice boost in power.

TRD suspension though

Greddy just killed them, what small amout of people buy JDM products are buying Greddy not HKS or BLITZ for that matter.. they both have fell behide. Neither offer great products for todays (2000+) cars. Best thing HKS ever made was the VPC , to bad that was 20 years ago.

AK370Z · 04-30-2011, 12:52 AM

This is indeed very sad. I always liked HKS products. I have the HKS Hi power exhaust on my car and I just love every bit of it! I mean I don't know how much impact it'll have on us because can't we just overnight the HKS from lol

But yeah their product is bit pricey but it's good quality product. They(HKS) will be missed
