<Plenty of people are doing just fine, thank you -- and plenty of others are still spending as if they were. From the extremely rich to those who still believe they can be, the cash continues to flow.

Car nuts are still queuing up to buy $70,000 BMWs. So many local buyers want the latest models that the wait can be more than 12 months. "We're doing better than last year, and last year was a record," said Tom Claridge, whose Fremont Auto Mall dealerships sell BMWs, Porsches and Mercedes-Benzes.>
