This is an unbelievable story:

This story's credibility collapsed in my eyes when I saw that the dealer's signature said "Dodge-Isuzu" dealer.
Isuzu no longer sells cars in the US as of January, 2009.
Carrying $3M worth of Dodge inventory doesn't make financial sense. Spending millions of dollars to remodel a Dodge "only" dealership doesn't make financial sense.
I will agree that Chrysler giving its dealers only until June 9th to get rid of their inventory and parts IS an unusually cruel business decision.
But since the manufacturer has filed bankruptcy, they can pretty much create all the havoc they want to with labor, dealers and suppliers.
At least GM has told it's dealers that they will not renew (a lot) of dealer franchise agreements due to expire in October of 2010.
The financial news said that GM is now only worth about $743 million. In comparison Toyota is worth 11.6 billion. 
OK so let me add this bad news to the mix ... a year ago they said the dollar would be worthless ... are you guys buying gold and silver ? They say tangible items would be of only value, cars, houses, coins, bullion ... the paper dollar, pensions and such will be worthless ? I;m no economist but sure is scaring the daylights out of me and the Goverment isnt saying a word ..not to create a mass panic where everyone takes there money out of banks.
We seem to have an Inteligent bunch here ... so whats the take on what the right thing to do really is ?

"They" say a lot of things.
I have learned to ignore "them".
