I don’t know if there were political reasons for shutting them down but there weren’t any business reasons for doing so.

One small town dealer here in Texas was shut down in 2009/2010 (Watley Motors) but 6 weeks ago a new Dodge/Ram dealership opened in the same town. When the original dealer’s licence was yanked back then the justification was that there was another major dealer only 20 minutes away in a larger town and they were competing for the same customer base. Well, that major dealer in the larger town down the road is still there but, for some reason, this new dealer was given a new licence to complete for the same customer base.

The dealer I bought my current Dodge from in 2010 had only been open a few months having set up shop in an old G.M. delaership that had been abandoned a few years prior. It has major competition both 20 minutes west and 20 minutes east but seemed to have no problem getting started less than a year after the closings were announced.

Made no sense then, makes none now.

You'd almost think that liberals believe competition is a bad thing.
