I went to Tamiami Chrysler Jeep Dodge today to look for a new Challenger. I was thinking of replacing my pristine condition ’81 Corvette with an up-to-date muscle car with all the modern amenities. Tamiami Chrysler Jeep Dodge is the leading Chrysler dealership in Miami-Dade County, #3 in the State of Florida, and in the top 100 in the Country.  Unfortunately, the bankruptcy court has sided with Chrysler’s plan to emerge from Chapter 11 which includes closing this dealership along with 788 other dealers.

I bet you are wondering where this is going…I sit here asking myself why does the Socialist President Obama’s administration have anything to do with this?  You and I, through our new socialist’s administration, brokered a deal where a 35 percent of Chrysler will be sold to Fiat, 55 percent will go to the workers, and the US and Canadian government share the remaining 10 percent stake in the company.

What does Chrysler get?  They get technology to make small and fuel efficient cars.  The Obama Administration is going to cause another run on a product.  The last time was with guns because they are sure to be banned.  Now it will be muscle cars, because Americans have no business being different from the rest of the world.  I guess we will all be driving Yugos soon.  I wonder how I am going to fit in that car?

Back to the dealership.  I saw the owner, Mr. Planas, in the lobby.  I told him that I hoped the situation would work out in his favor.  It is un-American for hard working and successful people to be put out of business by the government.  I told him this was just another example of socialism taking over our Country.  The salesman told me that tomorrow, June 9, Chrysler will take all the cars off the lot and send them to other dealers.  100 people will lose their jobs at one of the most successful dealerships in the Country.  This is insane.  What happened to the concept that being successful meant you continued in business?  The government needs to get out of the car business, the insurance business, the mortgage business, the healthcare business, and everything else they are into now.  Late today, Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg issued a temporary order to delay the sale of the assets to Fiat.  Hopefully, this will give them some time.

I didn’t buy the car, I really had my heart set on the Challenger in Hemi-Orange. They only had blue and black.  I guess I will have to go to one of the government approved dealerships and hope that our elected dictator will allow me to buy I car I would like to drive.
