Dave Carlson Quotations

We're not calling it a ripple effect; we're calling it a reverberating effect.

Most will boost their prices over a period of time. They'll do it daily.

I gotta tell you. It's pretty crazy when you think about taking whatever's on the other end of that line and bringing it in here.

We try to make a big deal out of the whole contest because there are huge career opportunities available for students with the aptitude, computer skills and repair savvy in this challenging field.

We thought we've had it difficult until this time. We think it's going to get a little tougher.

He was mad and enraged. That's all I can say.

Most of the functions of today's cars are computer controlled, leading not only to much higher price tags, but also for technicians with computer skills and excellent diagnostic abilities. By encouraging the brightest high school students to pursue education and training in this field, we are ensuring the country will have qualified technicians in the years to come.

We think the prices will probably stabilize this summer.

When we look at the data now, it's fairly clear that in collisions, quite often teens have multiple passengers in the car.

Unfortunately, a stronger economy may also signal that energy demand will increase, driving up the price of crude oil and gasoline.

We went from showing up at a game with a minimum of 15 guys to actually rotating fresh bodies in and out to keep our guys at full speed.

We certainly think that $3 a gallon gasoline will be broached in the next couple of days. Soon after, it could go much higher. The expectation is that we could be seeing $4 gasoline in the next couple of days.

We could see higher prices by the end of this month, and almost certainly by this summer.

Now I've got to work on my state senator. My two state representatives voted yes. I came here to make sure they did.

This is the proving ground that could take these teen technicians to the next level of education and potentially down a career path in auto technology. We've handed out more than a million dollars in scholarships to the top Idaho students in this contest in the past 15 years.

It's tantamount to sticker shock. Motorists are not getting what's advertised, and that's not right.

None of that has showed up here yet, but I expect we'll see some price movement by the weekend.

I'll put it this way, we find it curious that gasoline prices (were) among the highest, then dropped to what now amounts to the second lowest in the country.

Higher crude oil prices and other factors mean consumers are in for another year of price volatility.
