As I commented earlier on an another related thread, thousands of GM and Chrysler dealers are being boarded up. The owners of these dealerships, while certainly in some cases may have been dem supporters, are probably about as overwhelmingly Republican-leaning as any other group you could find in this nation. I know some auto dealers in my area, and they tend to be active in community affairs and generally support and contribute to GOP candidates to state houses and Congress. The dems know this well, and are gleefully using this “crisis” to decimate the ranks of supporters of their opponents. Can’t let any crises go to waste, after all.
My recommendation to the anguished dealer penning this letter: immediately initiate discussions with Toyota, Subaru, or any other import maker who might be interested. Ultimately I think this move will hurt GM and Chrysler -— many customers will have to now drive further to buy a car or have a car serviced. How many reliable GM or Chrysler buyers who now are confronted with a twenty or thirty mile drive to the nearest dealer will decide instead to finally swallow hard and reluctantly test drive a foreign make at the formerlyu GM or Chrysler dealership two miles down the road? I know I will. From personal experience, I know that Honda makes a phenomenal car, and they make many of them in the United States.
Go for it, Mr. Joseph. Next time I drive down I-95 I hope to see big signs for Joseph Sunshine Honda-BMW or something as I approach Melbourne.
That’s what I was thinking, too. There have GOT to be some other FOREIGN OWNED companies that may be interested in his new shiny building to proudly display their cars. (NEVER thought I’d be saying that, but these are no longer AMERICAN companies, they are COMMUNIST COMPANIES now...).
