<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.> IMO this is exactly what is keeping all the "numbers" look OK economically speaking. There are still lots of rich folk finishing up houses and putting in fancy auto orders, to say nothing of boats, etc. DAK
