I was at a huge Ford dealer doing a repair yesterday, and as I always do when I leave jobs, asked how business was to keep tabs on the economy as usual. Some joked, but the senior sales guy said that it was slower than he would like, better than it has been, but added that sales typically slump during the holidays. I'm not a sales guy, but would figure that sales would be up during the holidays when people are most likely to be in a buying mood if there ever was one.
I noticed this on their lot. Two very nice brand spanking new F350 crew cabs, 8' beds, Powerstroke diesels, 4x4, nice paint jobs, and although I didn't sort through the list of options...$57,000 each.

Don't get me wrong, as an old Dodge truck guy, I want to see Ford do well, very well since they didn't take a government bailout, and if I have to buy a new pickup, will be a Ford or foreign and will not consider another new Dodge or Chevy, but...$57,000!!! HOLY SMOKES!!! Am I ever out of touch.
