I can see why the our coaches are not bringing in what they should. I was at the auction in Reno yesterday and the Silver auction in Carson city today. nice Camaro's , Chevells, Corvetts weren't getting near the reserve prices. the buyers just weren't there. The few folks that were buying didn't want to spend near what the cars were worth. A 79 Corvette with 37,000 miles sold for less than $6000 it was a nice car with no reserve. I was tempted to bid but I really have no place to keep it. The few that sold wen't for a fraction of what they w old ha ve sold for a couple of ye ars ago

There just isn't money for toys in people's pockets any more.
Poor economic conditions abound on both sides of the ocean, serious
questions being asked about Banking techniques and countries such as Greece
near bankruptcy. Throw in some political attitudes and you see the result.
The situation is way bigger than any one political person or any one
government.
We do what we can and we wait for better times.......
Personally, I don't think it's coming back in my life time, too many people
want a piece of the pie and the pie is gone!
And I don't have a pie in my GMC...there, GMC content. <VBG>

Mike,
I agree!
In a nut shell:
FISCAL IRRESPONSIBILITY ABOUNDS!
The cause of which is a political discussion which I would be happy to discuss with anybody - OFF NET.
It doesn't belong here.

the pie comment is very funny and as i crawl across the floor laughing,
you better check twice it may be gone in the gmc.
the pan is gone. But with the gmc we all have a home.
We have had two 4.5 earth quakes here in anaheim in this week and with
the gmc it is great to know that it is always there for the asking.
IT is better than a high school gym to sleep in. :-)

If I may, we're talking about Pie shells here not Nut shells...try to keep
up. <VBG>
And Mr Miller, I'm with you and just about everyone on the face of the
earth likes pie and while Tim suggested Mrs Smith might be in the pie
business,there is an unemployed woman right now who might be interested in
making a couple, her name is Mrs Thacher.
Chuck, it's a '50 and is apart this summer for painting and light
maintenance, but my point is that I got to the pie trough early ! <VBG>
and mickey, are you suggesting I turn my gmc into a mobile quake bakery but
i cant because the pan is gone and I have nothing to make a pie in..
better than a high school gym and a whole lot better than the louisiana
superdome...<g>
Carry on, carrying on...
