This could be good or bad for my business

[firestarter]

I sell parts to body shops for several dealers in the Houston area.
I'm hoping I don't lose either my GM or Chrysler dealer I represent for work. If I don't it's more business to go after for each dealer. So far I've been lucky & only lost a Mazda dealer after a buyout and them deciding not to sell wholesale parts. Guys & gals, keep your fingers crossed for me this week.

Thousands of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC dealers in the U.S. may learn their fate in the next few days as both auto makers complete lists of dealerships they plan to eliminate.

GM dealers will be notified this week whether they will continue to receive new cars and trucks from the company, GM Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson said Monday during a teleconference with reporters. Mr. Henderson said he expects to "wind down" most of the targeted dealerships during the year.

Best of luck Bev.

That industry, as I'm sure you know, is in dire straits. I feel for the supply side most of all.

Good Luck Bev. I agree with MLC. This isn't headed in the right direction yet for sure.

I hope it works out well for you Bev. Things are still looking pretty grim.

Lost my Chrysler dealer yesterday, find out today if I lose my GM dealer. Earlier this month I lost my Mazda & Hyundai dealers. If I lose my GM dealer, I'll have to find another job as my expenses will exceed my income. fingers crossed.
I soooo need this ride to Hico this weekend. Got an Ipod for Mother's day and ordered speakers for the bike on Monday, they should be in today so I can jam on the ride.
