[DeTomaso] Panteras for sale

[F&D Terry]

Actually the stock market has done very well for quite a few years with 
yearly gains in the 20% range for picking the right investment. This is 
what happens when the government doesn't tax all our money away, leaving 
some for us to invest.

I attribute the reason car prices have risen so rapidly lately is 
because everyone is feeling flush as a result of stock market and 
housing gains. It certainly has put dollars in some pockets that a few 
years ago were nearly empty. Wait 'till Hillary gets through with her 
government funded health care. Car prices along with the stock market 
will have a serious set back.
