I don't know about you guys, but here in South Florida, the economic cool down is affecting many car owners. I'm seeing more and more cars breaking down on the sides of roads and highways here. Though this has always been the case, nowadays, the types of cars are getting fancier. Just the other day, I saw a woman on the side of the road trying her best to attend to smoke that was bellowing out from under the hood of a very late-model Cadillac Escalade. Thankfully, other motorists pulled over to help her. I couldn't because I was passing by on a bus. Also, I saw a Porsche Cayenne on the side of the road with the hood up about a week ago, and about two weeks prior to that, I saw a man and a little girl walking back to a late-model Lexus. The man was carrying one of those red, gasoline containers, so I guess that example doesn't count because it doesn't necessarily mean that the car wasn't working properly due to poor maintenance; he simply ran out of gas. At any rate, I think what's happening is that people have less funds to allocate for automobile maintenance, so they're simply going longer and longer before getting that oil change or that scheduled maintenance check up. Or, maybe I'm reading too much in this.
