I agree completely. When scrap was at 80 ton, back when I first started, it seemed like I kept a lot more in my back pocket because my inputs were so much less. Eighty dollars a ton seemed better when gas was 2 sumten versus 150/Ton and 3.50 gas. Tires have went plumb dam outrageous, a 10 ply 16" tire that used to sell for around 120 is now 200 plus, oil is almost 4 bucks a qt for almost any brand of oil, and going to the parts store almost requires robbing a bank before.
