Why there are so few used cars

OK this was a very interesting news story. I've thought for a long time that the used car shortage stemmed largely from the "Cash for Clunkers" program that Washington used to prop up the tottering auto market during the financial crisis. Turns out the shortage of used cars seen now has its roots in the crisis, but for different reasons. Check out this story in Automotive News.

The last JM trailer

One of my old customers is selling a 2007 JM high mount for $42,000. According to her, this was the last one Joe built before selling the company.

If you're looking for a nice light trailer, you might want to check it out. Here is the info on that trailer.

Uship under siege?

Got this email from one of Uship's unhappy users. I have no idea as to the veracity of his assertions, but it certainly sounds like one would be wise to investigate this site fully before jumping in with both feet.

Thanks for the forwarding of the info. I am sure most of you are aware that
uShip has done many dastardly things to the TSP's and the shippers and
either delete posts to sweep it under the rug or suspend us when we voice
our opinions.

I created www.scamship.com to help us all voice our opinions about uship
without fear of retribution of removal. They have played the social media
game too long. Collectively we are a force to be dealt with. We ALL need to
post what we can about uship. I have heard that Dateline NBC is
investigating them and the TX attorney general has been contacted. We MUST
keep the pressure on them. I have also seen uship changing people's terms of
service. I believe that is illegal as well.

Are you willing to take a few minutes out of your day to post about uship? I
hope so. Let's not let them take advantage of us any longer. Let's join
forces and turn the tide on uship.

Thank you
Walt
