Up 6% overall, 8% noncars from a year ago. And the cars taking a dive is a "No Duh": The big 3 in June weren't discounting as heavily as last year, and who who wants a new car and can afford one hasn't bought one yet?

Stupid, greedy request: Could we start having this data graphed like you've done for the MBA data? It shows alot more in a graph of total (rather than just a couple points of delta).

I'm waiting for some administration spokes-model to imply that the change from -2% to -1.5% is a 25% improvement from last month and thus proving that the tax cuts are working.

Please, someone, stop me before I become more cynical.

Dear CR,

Noticed a marked increase in food and beverage sales in the last year, from about 42,999 to 45,297 (in millions), is that mainly caused by inflation?

By the way, other reports indicate that growth in revenue in the food and beverage has been flat in the last year.
