I know lots of people making great new cars in Detroit and they will sell once the economy starts to pick up. There's no need to attack the city and kick Detroit while it's down. <br /><br />And Matt Myftiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13551705368328923984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8923894950948443186.post-15183575748818146192010-01-31T20:03:17.872-08:002010-01-31T20:03:17.872-08:00I lived in Detroit for two years (1999 to 2001, al...I lived in Detroit for two years (1999 to 2001, almost next door to the art museum and science center,...and I went back just a month ago,..Felix's description is way too close to accurate.

I am from Metro Detroit and many people there are effected by the Auto Industry, but clearly Big Henry knows nothing about the Detroit area because Where I grew up is quite the polar opposite of the "slums".

However anyone who believes that success in automobile racing has anything to do with the survival of the auto industry is drinking the Daytona Beach Koolaid.<br /> Note that the company most successful in Nascar for the last few years went BANKRUPT!!
