The economic crisis may be bad for the automobile industry but not as dire for firms selling items that come with automobiles. jeep accessories, for instance, will continue to sell since it is not as expensive as new automobiles. Oh, I just found out that industry leader Toyota, the “Mr T” of the industry is also in bad shape because of the massive recall of a couple of its models. It tarnished its glossy reputation and that is a ray of hope for its compatitors.
A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.
