Aftermarket engine keeps chugging

December 21, 2011

It had been our fear that the tough Q3 2011 comparisons would be the catalyst for a potential misstep from an industry perspective. While only a mild speedbump if you will, given what remain still favorable fundamentals, we were concerned that results would show a slowing. Throw in gas prices that remain roughly 30 percent higher year over year, along with declining miles driven and it was hard to think the industry would not show some chink in its armor.

September 1, 2011

If life is becoming just a little overwhelming, grab your television and toss it down the driveway, take the radio out of your car or truck and cancel your subscription to the local newspaper. If you don't, prepare to deal with the overwhelming urge to jump off the first bridge that looks high enough to put an end to it all! Or, you can sit in your office and hope to catch a glimpse of the goodness that surrounds all of us. Let me show you what I mean.
