I'm pretty sure a group of employees won $250,000 in the lottery a few years ago at that dealership. Friendships change!!!

Which guy is going to sue first
Any bets that one or two lawsuits will come out of the altercation?

Sad...it's tough to see good people loose their jobs; it's also tough to have to be the one to tell them.
Warning: There will be no warning shots.

03-28-2009 01:54 PMWe can thank the media and their nonstop doom and gloom for a whole lot of this.
I was kinda hoping that smiling jack ass reporter got popped too.

That's a shame! Hopefully the economy will turn around soon.

I feel so sorry for Michigan and Detroit area for taking the hit.
Flint Michigan for example is in terrible shape and that was at least the Buicks home back in the day. Gotta go to the garage and pat my GranSport.

03-29-2009 02:59 PMSucks for all involved but they could have seen the doors closing for years. If you are a salesman, mechanic or car washer and you haven't been very busy for the last 24 months you could see this coming without the crystal ball.
In North Palm Beach, FL a Chevy store that was atleast 20 years old closed with no notice last year. Next door they built a brand new Mercedes store with a 2 story showroom (cars in the window on two levels) in additon to the 4 story garage. It has been open about 4 months now with every car discounted from sticker right on the windshield. I have been there twice for service and have never seen another customer there (either buying or servicing). The S63 AMG sedan I really liked the first time I went there is still in the showroom at $133,000......
The salesmen at Mercedes seem to have a rosy outlook but I think they are just happy to be able to talk to someone new when you walk in.
