The big three always shuts down for 2 or 3 weeks in the summer anyway for retooling to make next years models. Most Tier 1 auto parts suppliers, Delphi, Federal Mogul, Meridian ect ect does the same thing.

Yes, they're talking about it on the news right now. The difference this year is there's a better chance of them not starting back up...
