Replying to: graphicguy (Dec 11, 2008 12:46 pm) Don't forget Toyota, they practically have enough money in the bank to buy both Ford and Honda. I saw that Honda is dropping out of F1 racing, but Toyota is not. That seems very strange, considering Honda is supposedly the "sportier" car make? Picked up some oil filters the other day at the Toyota parts dept., and asked the parts guy about sales. He said new car sales were a little slow, but they were doing great, considering the economy sucks! He said Corolla, Camry, and Yaris sales were UP for this dealer, compared to last year. All this said, you really have to look at total US sales, and Nov. sales were down about 30% for all three - Toyota, Honda, and Ford. I am sure someone can get the exact numbers.

Just take your online DVD up to the register with a new rental from the store, and you checkout for free. I get 5 free rentals a month. Now to keep this on topic.......as you are out driving in your new wheels or on a test drive, if you regularly pass or are near a BB store this is a better plan than Netflix. If you are out in the boonies and only do mail, then the plans would be equivalent. |

Replying to: joel0622 (Dec 12, 2008 6:15 am) Just read a business article about the largest media company in Canada which is really suffering after buying too many TV and radio stations as well as a national newspaper which has become a money pit. One businessman was quoted as saying, "The trouble with building an empire is that they never last". Seems the #1 always gets knocked off eventually.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Dec 11, 2008 8:02 pm) It got out of F1 all that it needed. For now, at least. I am sure they will return when improvements in engine technology are visible. |
