Hi Mrs. P, that is a very interesting post by Bob, It's hard to quantify hard numbers from this distance, in terms of earnings hits from loss leading financing. I've heard several comments questioning the liquidity situation at DCX, specifically if they have enough free cash salted away for a significant industry downturn. I hear what you are saying about the consumer, but it seems that the latest data points indicate that the slowdown is expanding into areas such as housing, commercial real estate, and retail/consumer spending. I can certainly believe it. thanks for that post, John
