front page news on the Chicago Tribune was that median incomes in Chicago have exceeded $100k in 29 burb cities. The top median income city was 200k.

Does 100k buy you a lot of anything?

Looks to me like the retail sales, inventory-to-sales, etc. are being skewed whenever the auto promotions are nearing an end. There seems to be a last minute rush of buyers about the time the current set of rebates/interest rate schedules expires at the beginning of April. Hence, higher sales at the end of March and lower inventories to end the period. Inventories were high and sales were quite weak in the middle month of February.
