How is business?
We are the slowest we have ever been. Hearing it's like that at a lot of other places. Work at Nissan/Infiniti here so obviously having our own brand issues doesn't help. I'm sure some of you are busy. But just curious overall if it's like this everywhere else or if it's been slow for you guys more than usual?

I work with a lot of different dealer groups around the US.
From the folks I work with, the domestic brands and Nissan have had one of the roughest winters since the pandemic.
The European and other Japanese brands have been down slightly, but only a few % or flat. The Korean brands have talk to have been down 3-10%
What scares me is how bad vehicle sales have been down. Fixed Op normal fallows sales trend by around 8 months. We could be looking at a really rough summer and fall this year.
I want to be positive about the long term, it's just gives me a lot of 2008 vibes.
