seen that coming....sales were down 3% last month September..except in the Buick division where sales are good

auto industry has been on a high for awhile now....I expect others to slow the lines down a bit as well...

Sitting in Chesapeake Virginia with a trailer that's had to get all new brakes and tires. When I picked it up this morning it was locked up so tight I couldn't get it to budge. So down for repairs since 0700. I would be far more bothered by this if I had to pay for it. But I don't and I get breakdown pay
