They'll be pulling in giant profits for months, and sure, they'll get stuck with some overvalued used cars, but overall they'll be making lots of profits. 

“I will admit that, about a year ago this time, I didn’t totally grasp how the economy worked in terms of dealers and used cars: They are all pretty much coming off leases, right?”

1st Gear: Mrs. Ghost and I are both pretty much constantly getting mailers, emails, and phone calls from dealerships trying to buy our cars.

The lack of understanding of the economy is really one of the qualities that shines through in most of Erik’s articles.

He’s actually a great guy, as good of a guy as you’ll find among celebrities.

I’m at the stage in my life where being professionally mediocre is no longer a cardinal sin in my book. As far as we know Fieri hasn’t abused anyone, and he raised $25 million for laid-off restaurant workers. I think he’s earned the right to make and promote unappealing foodstuffs.

Sounds and looks delicious, but partial marketing fail. Hot Apple Pie Dog was right there. “What’s new dawg? Hot Apple Pie Dog! Apple Pie’s not new. Like this it is! (shows Product)“ cue further “who’s on first” style shenanigans. Will spend afternoon pondering how to ala mode this w/o the use of softserve.

100% this.
