Just told me a story about some woman who just had a baby over dosing and dying... :wtf:

It's the end of the year, car industry is in the formative moments of a tailspin, and profits are falling.

Fingers are being pointed, and I'm just trying to keep my neck off the line. I'm not amused.

Probably won't make you feel any better, but this is industry wide right now. Full blown :triggered: :nuke: everywhere. I'm really glad that I'm far from the sales side in my current role.

What's the most :| is that everyone knows the car biz is cyclical, yet when the cycle starts to turn down, everyone loses it.

Michelle spent the weekend in Boston with her dad, so I got to watch Ava. Was nice to have her for the few days. We cuddled lots and she loved my roommate’s cat. Definitely missed having Kai too though.

Pretty cool, michelle and her dad went out to go to the Pats/Chiefs game and got to go down on the field and shit. Chiefs are her dad’s team, so cool for him to get to go watch them win.

She was pestering him pretty bad the night before, so he was pretty over her shit yesterday morning when that picture was taken. But he loves cuddling, so he allowed her to use him as a pillow like that for a bit.

I've been saying this has been coming for 2 years now. Gas is cheap, we've swung :fullretard: back to :truk: and :burnout: and :herewego:
Downturn has been on the horizon for a while...in fact I'm surprised it's taken this long. It's partially due to forcing sales (incentives, over production, etc)...but everyone should have seen this coming and planned for it.

But no, it's better to bury your head in the sand and just wait for your body to be blown away by :nuke:

At this point, I just hope the industry survives long enough to see all the olds pushed out.

I don't see how anything other than this is possible? How in the world could the car industry go away?

Even autonomous pods would still have to be manufactured and sold. Those are extremely far off anyway.
