Just my .02 but I think the $500 donations should be pooled to help out those that will be out of work for 2 months this year at BG...due to GM's f up...

Actually I believe the UAW contract will allow those workers that are out of work for a shutdown to still receive about 95% of the salary.

So what's the benefit of shuttng down then? Except the obvious lack of sales of new cars leading to a slow down in cars being sent to dealerships.......

The Colonel is dreading for the day that he may have to lower his price on the glut of C6's out there...

Hey Rocket,

The benefit of the shut down is to lower the vehicle supply numbers. I think most manufacturers try to work with about a 60 - 75 day supply. The last I heard I think GM had about 130 day supply. So, the longer than normal summer shut down is to allow the dealers to clear some of that existing inventory. Otherwise, they would be building units that the dealers could not accommodate.

From what I have read all of the manufacturers, not just GM and Chrysler, are experiencing greater supply than demand right now. I think that is why we have seen some of the foreign manufactures also reporting some first quarter losses.

I guess we have hi-jacked Ernie's thread. Sorry!

Rich

I have not heard from him recently, he has always been responsive when I have sent him and email or pm. Maybe he is away for some reason. I would give him a few days and then try sending something to him again.
