Like it would have been nice to have had a stockpile of Metros and such when gas hit $4 and Metros were selling for crazy coin. That day may come again.

I haven't researched the jobs jobs jobs thing but that crazy number probably presumed an "inability" for an Uhmerican production facility to build something small. So all Uhmerican production would halt and the mfgs. would simply import all the little CAFE compliant cars. Oooooh, does that sound like a THREAT???
