Until now, I've been listening to the doomsayers. But I haven't seen much doom around here. Then word slips through the grapevine that a neighboring car dealership is closing its doors. Too bad, actually. Why? Because nothing stimulates local business better than some good competition. It's good for the consumer and even better for us. When those people moved in, across the street, we sold an additional 35 cars, the first month! Since then, they've been less than dynamic. I'm not privy to all of the details - and I don't want to be. It's just that I have trouble believing that a Ford dealership should have to struggle in a city like Terre Haute! It seems like the older I get, the less I know...
