Happy New Year!
Happy New Year - 2015 I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Lots has happened in the last 6 years or so, so I raise my glass to everyone still moving the iron and those of us that use to.
Please drive safely tonight! Last edited by XDCX; 12-31-2014 at 11:39 PM. Reason: Added large text title and photo to create Home page thread |

Thank you! And, you are correct, as a lot is different since the needless slaughter of '09.
But, here we are, and we are all making it the best we can, so lets be thankful for what we do have, and lets have a great 2015! |

Steve, thanks for creating the Happy New Years thread and for keeping the forum plugging along while I took an extended time away. I added a title and a picture to your post so I could use this thread on the Home Page - it seems like that C7 Corvette had been on the Home Page for ages.
If history is any indication I'm betting that most of the rural stores will be closed today (this is the first post of 2015) and most of the metro stores will be open. Some of the metro stores that have their Sales Department open may have their Service and Parts Departments closed. I wish a safe and prosperous 2015 to all of our members and if you're fortunate enough to have 01/01/15 off I hope you can enjoy some great College Football games or anything else that brings you happiness. |

Speaking from a metro market in Indiana -- we opened from 10am until 5pm for sales. Fixed ops closed.
I was lucky enough to have the day off. The store sold one used car. Far from a stellar performance! |

If I can ask, was there any pressure from your OEMs to be open on New Year's day? In the past I recall there was some pressure from the BCs to have their metro stores be open to ensure a strong close to the month/year. |

My DM did text and ask if we were opening. I replied 'no' just to see if I could get a rise out of him... but here in GLBC I guess it's no great surprise. Later in teh day I decided to tell him the truth and that we would be there! |

I'm sure in other parts of the country the pressure was greater... In the GLBC it is what is -- more are closed than open for holidays in our BC.
