It sure is putting a hurting on my end of the hobby, I'm an auto technician in the Detroit area, so we rely on people to keep thier cars up and running , but with the price of fuel, nobody wants to spend hardly anything on thier cars, they lease them and when it needs something major, they turn it in and get a new lease, so it really hurts us, even the dealerships, thier not even busy!! Fortunatly we've been pretty busy at the shop the last two weeks, hopefully this will last so I can get the bills caught up and do some racing, bills and providing for the family come first. I guess money wise I'm not doing too bad, but nothing like it was about 7-8 years ago it was nice to have a couple hunred dollars in your pocket every week, thats few and far between now[&o], oh well what can you do besides deal with it and make the best of things.
