Toyota in Huntsville, Hyundai in Montgomery, Honda in Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz in Tuscaloosa.

Baldwin County (SE Alabama) has a megasite available and a car plant is a typical buyer for megasites. So it'll probably be another one in the next few years.

The Airplane industry is the one thats about make South Alabama explode economically.

Yeah, I knew the airline industry was big down there, when did the Mercedes plant in Tuscaloosa get there? I used to do a lot of work for BMW/Mercedes and travel to the BMW plant in South Carolina, but Mercedes in Tuscaloosa never came up.

, I used to seriously think about it a lot, but I've gotten away from the auto industry since '08 & the bailouts. I used to imagine I'd just pack up, move down south & find me some place back in the woods, near some water so I could just fish. I recently working a fishing show & went to a place in the west suburbs of Detroit called the 'Tilted Kilt'. Bought a calender & their January model is from Birmingham ... now I'm kinda' real sorry I didn't follow my dreams,

Ha! Sorry, we have "Tilted Kilt" here in Houston... Just reading the name makes me think of a bar full of Addams apples. Most wearing skirts.

Really? The one by me only had one or two male servers each time I went in. Their uniform was drab t-shirt/drab kilt and they looked kinda' bummed because they had to haul all the ice buckets & clear the tables while the girls danced around in their bright colored kilts making all the money,

. I even mentioned it to the manager & he laughed.
