They mention a shortage of 100,000 drivers, army being put on notice to deliver, and 50-90% dry at metro fuel stations. I can imagine it going 'I am Legend' if that were for food as well.

I'm not old enough, but it seems the rising inflationary pressures (thanks: central banks spamming fiat currency) combined with supply chain shocks as we are seeing, evoke the early 1970s. Anyone here go through that as a young motorist/shopper? What was it like? My Mrs and I have begun back and forth discussions after the shop on which items are not there/shelves empty - having seen some incredible footage on yt of stores in the US. Maybe it wasn't such a smart idea shipping the cheapest tomatoes in a can 12,000km from Italy after all.

In car terms, a good 2nd handy seems assured it's value for a while more.
Is it time to get out our black leather gear and fire up the V8 interceptors yet? The proving ground is literally about 1 or 2 k's from the roads Mad Max drove at Little River, so i'm itching to get out there and take on the nightrider
