A Chevy dealer that I pass every day that usually has 350 to 500 cars/trucks on their lot is down to less than 100 based on their website. Their display lot looks like the Mall on a Wednesday morning...

Most of their inventory they've shipped to other dealers in the last two weeks. That's not unusual for them, they do part of their business based on having the right truck or car for not only customers but other dealers, but I usually only see their lot this empty right at the end of the model year.

There are plenty of containers, but the containers just aren't where things ship from. I remember reading something about some ports overflowing with shipping containers that just aren't going back out.

About 1/4 of our business I had enough inventory and we do a lot of international sales with that item. Engines and a few other items I am pretty screwed right now.

We ain't going to the party

We ain't going to the disco
Ain't gonna cruise down main

We're stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail, stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail, stealing people's mail
On a Friday night

Drivin' in the mountains
Winding 'round and 'round
Rummage through your mailboxes
Take your mail back to town

And we got license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
Checks to politicians from real estate firms
Money, bills and canceled checks
Pretty funny pictures of your kids

We're gonna steal your mail
On a Friday night
We're gonna steal your mail
By the pale moonlight

We got grocery sackful after grocery sackful
After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
After grocery sackful after grocery sackful
Of the private lives of you

People say that we're crazy
We're sick and all alone
But when we read your letters
We're rolling on the floor

And we got license plates, wedding gifts, tax returns
Checks to politicians from real estate firms
Money, bills and canceled checks
We cut relationships with your friends

We're gonna steal your mail
On a Friday night
We're gonna steal your mail
By the pale moonlight

We better not get caught
We'll be dumped in institutions
Where we'll be drugged and shocked
'Til we come out Born Again Christians

Stealing people's mail, stealing people's mail
Stealing people's mail, stealing people's mail
On a Friday night

You talking about iE unit? Try this lot, they produce some really nice hi-fi components. My wife has the PX7 Bluetooth headphones (noise cancelling etc). She loves them..

Is important to be accurate... although 1/16th or even a 1/4in tolerance was probably fine instead of 0.0001 LMAO
