This is scary for the automobile industry. Last week, the biggest auto dealer in Thousand Oaks Auto Mall (COURTESY CHEVROLET) (35 years) folded the doors forever. Every car in the lot are gone! Kaput! Yesterday the CHRYLSER dealer did the same. Mazda/Subaru dealer disappeared last December (fortunately in this case, other dealers picked up the brands). When will FORD disappear? What about LOTUS dealer (SilverStar)? Is it just a matter of time? Lotus in Calabasas is gone.....
The economy here in Ventura California is hitting hard. Major commercial chains are disappearing rapidly. Circuit City, Mervyn's, Linens 'n Things, Applebees....just to name a few.
No one is buying cars. No one is buying period. Terry and I went out for brunch and dinner for Valentine's Day and the restaurants that usually PACKED that day were GHOST TOWNS!
Friends are losing their jobs left and right. State workers were furloughed and my college classes were cut in half, even though there were plenty of students to take it. Education in California has been devasted. I'm so lucky to still have my job. For now.
I've never seen so many Lotus Elises/Exiges for sale on this forum! Many are reaching the magic price of $25K
. If I had enough money, I'd buy all of them!
HELP US, OBI-WAN! YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!:bow:
