General Motors has shut down its Grand River Assembly plant, where the Camaro is made, yet again. This time it will be closed from May 10 to June 28, according to a local report. And the reason for the shutdown is what we’ve been increasingly focusing on: microprocessor chip shortages.

All these shortage issues are even affecting boats. Our boat has been delayed a month so far for resin, or what I like to tell people model airplane glue. Now I just hope to have it by the 4th of July.

I know first world problems...

Bill, would you know if dealers can or will order a new truck? I am looking at the new Silverado 2500HD but I want to order specific things, basically a WT with a few different options. I went online and cant find one even close to what I want. Thanks, Brent

The dealer closest to me has a lot of gaps in the parking lot right now that he hasn't ever had in my memory. A good friend who leases was approached by that dealer and was offered a really amazing deal to move out of his present lease into a new one. I took that to mean that they needed the used inventory. Anybody got a better theory?....Bill S

Used car prices have went up about 25 to 30 percent in the last few months in my area. I’ve noticed the new car lots and used lots have considerable fewer vehicles.

Local new car dealer by me normally has 125-ish cars on the lot, 2 weeks ago he had 28.
