Again, I figured I'd save us all another 2000 word post - thats all.

It was an interesting read too - lotta info. I found some of the numbers a little confusing to me though. Its like I need something to relate them to, otherwise they aren't as relevant. Like they posted the 3rd largest loss in it 100 year history. Well could they do that in $% so it means more to me.

Also, I noticed the foreign car company #'s were posted in % instead of $$$. Seems to have more meaning that way. Thoughts? Opinions?
