The Detroit motor show is the one-stop technology showcase for all the manufacturers. It is one of the biggest shows for petrolheads. Business is good for auto manufacturers. Developing countries are lapping up the hot new products. Too bad we're here watching our country burn because nobody can decide who has the bigger brawns. 2015 started off a little hot with automobile dealers barely making much progress because who would want to buy a new car now? And that makes it a pretty good time for someone to buy something now. Haggle and get your price down because no one is selling much. Although glass importers are making a killing, regular perishable parts like tyres and batteries aren't seeing much movement. Maybe we should go ahead and stock up for the coming apocalypse. Pickup trucks are always the preferred equipment to mow down hoards of screaming marauders. With that gloomy disposition, we move into February.
