I’d love to move.
Roots are to deep and 200+ cars and parts cars are not easy to move.
Hurricane Biden is nationwide.
Great job, Democrat Party Cabal, for stealing the election and gurneying 79-year-old, senile Sleepy Joe into the Oval Office. That's why I always say that absolutely everyone should vote Democrat. Wake Up, Sleepy Joe, Wake Up!
You’re in a tough spot. That business must be booming these days, though. I can’t even find a decent used car anywhere at a reasonable price.
Was. Now no one has any money and the banks have puckered up.
The used part business is picking up. You either can’t get or can’t afford the new parts you need nowadays.
