If you looked at U.S. car sales over the past 18 years, you would see a pattern. On either end of the chart, you would see years where 17 million vehicles were sold. In the middle is 2009 when sales dropped to 10 million vehicles. After that is a steady nine-year recovery. Some people call this dip "the trough," and they think it is hurting aftermarket sales. I think it is an opportunity and a sign of the aftermarket's future.
