My husband leased a Volt yesterday. He is not allowed to take delivery until the dealer can get a replacement vehicle in the showroom (three weeks at least). Demand outstrips supply here in Canada, he had to watch deliveries on the internet and show up on the dealer's doorstep with chequebook...

-31,130

-6568 By Thur morning I was up 10k, but decided to push for a big week. Haha.

-1894 this week.

FSYS is doing well today. I think it will continue.
