I can't believe that sales haven't fallen off of a cliff.

Me neither but apparently just the opposite is true...I heard this morning that Nissan sales were up 90% over last year which was the best year they had ever had. I know a man who has had a F250 on order for about a month and was told it would be 5-6 months. It is crazy.

I think it has a LOT to do with people feeling like the economy is in the dumper. They have bought or they trying to buy way more vehicle than they can afford and when it hits their personal pocketbook they cast about for something other than their own poor decision making. It applies to homes also...and even little items like that morning coffee or lunch. Living withing one's means is a big part of being happy but most people find doing so unpleasant......
