Yeah, the mortgage industry is jacked right now, but, hey, you can live in your car, too!

Yahoo News

Three top investors in the automotive industry painted a grim picture on Sunday for the sector in 2008, with one executive predicting a possible slump in U.S. sales to levels not seen in 15 years.

The weakest forecast is for a possible 9.4 percent decline. But all three -- Jerry York, an adviser to billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian; financier Wilbur Ross; and Thomas Stallkamp, a former Chrysler president -- were more pessimistic than many in the battered industry.

Is it just my twisted understanding of grammar and literature, or was that article or the people quoted a bit scrambled.

Ex.
"Maybe I live in Michigan. This is a pretty crummy place to be right now."

Anyhow, I'm just glad we still have an auto industry to make predictions on at all. Worrying about 09' sounds good in a way.
