Continuing Quotes
For 2006, Minnesota's big economic stories will be problems related to the continuing cutbacks in the U.S. auto industry, a turnaround for the telecommunications industry, and finally a weakening of Minnesota's construction industry. Nonetheless, our survey points to still solid growth for the first half of 2006.

Bigger Quotes
Dad went back to that Western Auto store. The wagons were still stacked the same way. He pointed to the wagon on the bottom and said to the salesman, 'That's the biggest one you have, but not the biggest one you sell, right?' The salesman told him he could order a bigger one. Dad told him get it ... and when they put me in that wagon, and you couldn't see me from under the (wood panels) on the side. ... That was what 'Blue Suede Shoes' meant to him.

Agents Quotes
The auto insurance market is extremely competitive, and we're constantly reviewing our rates to remain a top player in the state. While Dimensions is already a huge success, we're thrilled to be offering it at even lower prices. This will certainly give our 117 personal lines agents in Indiana one more reason to quote The Hartford.

Businesses Quotes
The auto companies have closed this excess capacity, are now making better product and simply don't have a lot of extra cars they can offer at low prices to this distribution channel. People like Henry Silverman or Wayne Huizenga will make those businesses more rationally structured.

Bullish Quotes
It's clear that the U.S. market and economic conditions have become significantly more uncertain. Overall we remain very bullish on the prospects for the auto industry in the U.S. and globally but at this point we are viewing the U.S. economy and auto market environment with considerable caution.

Advance Quotes
It's hard to believe we won that race. The car was good in the end, but it took us all day to get the adjustments right. On the dirt, you only pit once, but we pitted three times today to get the car where it needed to be to win the race. What a great day for the Advance Auto Parts-Pork Ford team. I had a ball racing with Justin (Allgaier) and Bob (Strait) there at the end.

Activity Quotes
So far, I am encouraged to see how well the regional economy has weathered the job and income losses centered in the auto manufacturing sector. Mild winter weather and the Super Bowl no doubt helped to support the economy early in 2006. As those effects fade, I would expect to see some fall off in activity over the next several months.

Believe Quotes
The judge has upheld our constitutional right to free speech, meaning that Allstate and Sterling can communicate and market the benefits of an insurer-owned auto repair facility with our customers and claimants in the State of Texas. However, we strongly disagree with the judge's decision to uphold provisions of Texas H.B. 1131 which we believe violate the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Great Quotes
I like AutoZone because it's got a rate of return on equity, somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 percent, ... It's got a great franchise. As the auto stocks get older and retail sales for autos are off a little bit, it means that the stock will get older and you have to repair your cars. And they're getting into the diagnostic lines, which helped.

Aware Quotes
Individual members of AWARE have worked diligently to educate consumers about financing options. But even with such a strong track record, our research has indicated that if we combined education efforts, we could have a greater impact on consumers.

Answering Quotes
In the fourth grade, my history teacher gave us a project: Why was the auto industry located in Detroit, Michigan? I didn't know I was going to be an economist, but I knew I was going to do something that was involved in answering questions like that one because I thought that was a fascinating question.

Accounts Quotes
In Ontario, job losses in manufacturing have accelerated in recent months alongside announced layoffs in the key auto sector. However, Ontario's economy is well diversified and strength in the service sector, which accounts for more than 70 percent of overall employment and economic activity, should support vehicle sales of about 590,000 units in 2006 - in line with the average of the past two years.
-
Business Quotes
I really think that the scare of the auto shock has run its course. I think business people now are collectively coming to the realization that yeah, it's going to be a harder economy to make a buck, but we have to face it.' We've seen some underlying strength in the last nine months, but now that they've come to that realization, they're ready to get in the game.

Church Quotes
If you walk into an auto lot and a vehicle is 20 years old and has only 50,000 miles, that should set some alarms off. The old saying about the little old lady who drove only to church on Sundays, well, there aren't too many of those. If a deal seems just too good to be true, it probably is.

Argue Quotes
In my view, shares of Ford would probably become more attractive if it got down to say $22, $23 a share. Although, I would argue that as long as these investigations are continuing, they'll probably serve to put a lid on the stock price performance. Other stocks in the auto sector we are more positive on include General Motors ( GM : Research , Estimates ). Also at GM, you've got a change in management -- you've got a significant outside shareholder developing in Carl Icahn, owning 30 percent in GM. There's just a lot of value to be realized in the group.

Acumen Quotes
Hotel ownership is an attractive investment for entrepreneurs, but those not versed in the lodging industry may not realize the opportunity. Owners of restaurants, auto dealerships, and convenience stores have the business acumen and financial capacity to own and operate hotels, and we can show them how to transfer and utilize their unique skill sets to hotel ownership.

Accounts Quotes
Certainly those auto incentives were helpful in giving us that growth in the fourth quarter. But we have to remember that even outside of autos, the consumers have really hung in there. I don't think it's entirely a fluke. I don't think it accounts for the ongoing strength of the consumer.

Bill Quotes
Colorado is a healthy and competitive market. Over the last two and a half years, we have seen auto rates drop between 10 and 30 percent in Colorado, homeowners rates are stabilizing and Colorado is one of six states that does not have a medical malpractice crisis. This bill is a solution in search of a problem.

Ability Quotes
This is a great win for the state in that it reinforces our ability to attract auto assembly plants. Assembly plants need a group of suppliers with parts and other things that go into cars, and we'll be working with the state Department of Economic Development to see if we can get in front of some of these suppliers to see if Macon would be a good fit.

Allowed Quotes
And 39 percent said they'd take a pay cut if they were allowed to telecommute. Even if they had to take that pay cut, ... our telecommuters might come out ahead, since several also told us that telecommuting has reduced their costs for gas, auto maintenance, parking, tolls and even clothing.
