Interesting observations.

That's not gonna happen, anyone who has a Euro to spare buys, leases gets somehow the SUV's here too, they're a HUGE trend.
I'm always going nuts when I see blonde bimbos who get their SUV from their older viagra filled sponsor, while they couldn't responsibly ride a bike in a kindergarten, slow poking around and trying to park those monster SUV's, devastating half of the parking lot.

I have a small 96 Ford Escort that I drive about 90% of the time (although it is now dented up because we had a bad snow storm and my carport collapsed in on the car. The damage totaled the car, but I bought it back in salvage.) It runs great, it just has a couple of dents in it. I also own a 1967 mustang that sits in storage and only gets driven some during the summer. There is nothing like rolling the windows down, cranking up the radio and hitting the open road behind the wheel of a classic American sports car.
I think our local used car markets are kind of dead right now too. I used to almost never see commercials for used car lots and used car companies on TV. Now there are a bunch of them promising all kinds of different finance offers. Maybe they are hurting or maybe they are just trying to get buyers in who want/need a new car, but don't have the money or credit to get a brand new car.

Some of the cars I want to own:
1963 Chevrolet Corvette
1968 Mustang Fastback
1973 Ferrari 246 Dino GT
1973 Stutz Blackhawk
1978 Mercedes Benz SL450
Actually, I'm always buying me Hemmings Motor news whenever I am in States, and I always find some new model I never saw, and that just curses me, definitely one of the things I'll be spending money on if everything works out the way I plan.
