the M3 is imaginary but my point is that people say after Obama there will nothing left while the economic situation now is about as bad as it can get...almost as everyone that doesn't like him wants him to fail...

As for my X...the car was not new when I bought it so...

The current situation is nowhere near as bad as it can get. You should talk to your parents or grandparents about the Great Depression and you can see how bad it can get. For instance, unemployment was more than 4 times as high as it is today. People need to stop panicking all the time. Widespread panic is what took the economic insecurities of the late 20s and brought about depression by 1932.

I hope you are right but unfortunately it's going to get much worse. We have not even begun to hear of the downturn from the corporate side - aside from the car manufacturers. Once Q4 earnings start rolling in along with forecasts, the cuts will start to come. Unemployment will begin to climb.

It probably will...I was just using it as a figure of speech...but to some I guess if I drive an X5 I must be rich or unaffected by what our current administration has 'achieved'

My toughest time in my line of business was when diesel prices where in the high 4's and low 5s depending where the drivers went, so honestly if all the car companies go broke it won't affect me directly because I only run reefers from CA back the east coast...there is always business....sometimes slow, but still manageable.
