So true. I'd love to go back to Iceland sometime. Icelandic is an awesome language, too. Já!]]>May 4th 2008 4:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 7:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 5:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/Most of the lifted trucks in america never leave the road. They never haul trailers, never carry wood (as the wood would hurt the bedliner).

They just want them to look tough, these guys actually use the trucks properly.]]>May 4th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 7:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/I guess my comment was mainly based on the people I know.
It would be fun to know how much off road time the average truck gets]]>May 5th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 6:18PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/
This is helpful to hear, because the press in the USA makes it sound like only the USA is having trouble with gas prices, sub prime, slowdown of the economy. The truth is (and this article points this out) that these problems are worldwide.]]>May 4th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/
Iceland is hurting because they are doing *too* well. Their currency got hurt because of their overheated economy and heavy borrowing. Globally a few banks lost some money and that's about it. The Euro increased in value, the dollar keeps falling.

Personally I'm only noticing because shopping in the US and UK is cheaper for me now.]]>May 4th 2008 7:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 4th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/May 5th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/04/hard-times-means-some-icelanders-cant-keep-on-truckin/
Iceland is hurting because they are doing too well. That is a wild view, to be doing badly because one is doing well. Sounds a wee bit like double speak.

My point is that the entire world is hurting, not just the USA. Fuel prices, food prices are a problem in the entire world. And the sub prime debacle is not just in the USA.
