>> haven;t figured out yet how the auto sales are staying so high <<

Once it's shipped from the maker, it's booked as a sale...

They don't care how long it sits on the lot...

PS
Just like HPQ stocking 00000's of PC's in Walmarts and other discount stores around the Country and saying that sales have picked up...

If they don't sell them they'll be booked as one time charges and we all know "anal"yst don't include those one time charges in the earnings estimates, even though companies take them time after time...

David Hemmings passed away, and, no, he didn't "Blow Up." I though his portrayal of Mordred in "Camelot" was the best thing in the movie and he was great as the horny young lancer who led the British into disaster in the movie "The Light Brigade."
