Think of it as pent-up demand ... that is what the automotive business is hoping is happening right now - though of course the vehicles will likely be a bit smaller.

Seriously, as a business-owner that has got to be VERY frustrating.

I just heard about a new credit card scam being pulled on gas stations around here.

Credit card thieves climb on the roof of a gas station, use aluminum foil to cover an antenna used to send/receive credit card info, the credit card readers stop working, gas stations start doing manual credit card transactions which allow thieves to use stolen cards without being discovered, and by the time a repair person arrives and finds the foil-covered antenna the thieves are long gone with cars full of gas.
