[Chris and Jodie]

It's already happening. A friend runs an auto dealership which includes both 
Honda and GMC. They were given wholesale, minus 8000 dollars for SUVs and 
then stopped taking them period. they are also paying up to 2000 dollars 
premium for small cars. Jack Wagoneer is right. Of course, too little to 
late, I think.

My old man said people wouldn't buy GM cars for years in LA because of what 
they and Firestone did. I just found out from and old local guy that they 
did the same in the bay area (San Fran).
