Actually, it doesn't have anything to do with shopping. They have 800 
dealer locations nationwide. They may have to increase that database as 
their dealer base increases, but I wouldn't be operating that database 
anyway: a third party would (I'll frame around them, or add their elements 
into my HTML). Also, they could add new models. Gee, outside of that, can't 
think of what else they'd be scaling :-) Please let me know if you see 
anything I may be missing here. TIA,
