The Los Angeles Business Journal is reporting that auto registrations are down 20% in the third quarter in California.  “Read this now and think about it later Arnold.”

If you didn’t watch Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 2004 Presidential election, you can watch him here.   All I can say is that Arnold’s California is looking pretty flabby these days.   Look at those weak girly man auto sales and sagging housing prices; Arnold what have you done to yourself?

Arnold, you need to go visit Hans and Franz to get pumped up!    Read this now and think about it later Arnold:

California vehicle registrations declined nearly 20 percent in the third quarter, according to the California New Car Dealers Association.

Registrations of new cars and light trucks declined 19.1 percent in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2008, with a year-to-date decline of 18.5 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to the California Auto Outlook third quarter 2008 market report.

Declining home values, tight credit markets, bank failures, increased unemployment and gas prices are among the reasons cited for the decline.
