Do you know how many cars are added each year?

We heard friends buying, selling cars, we heard traffic jams caused by large numbers of cars and we read from news certain car manufacturers were experiencing sluggish sales, leaving behind thousands of cars in yards and yards of fenced up storage areas.

Just to put in some figures, we haven't gotten the total production for 2008 from the Automobile Manufacturers Organization yet (simply because there's still half way to go), we're gonna share with you all, how many vehicles exactly was manufactured in year 2007.

Remember, this is not the total number, this is just NEW vehicles produced last year, 2007.

BEHOLD: 73,101,695. To be exact, Seventy Three Million, One Hundred and One Thousand Six Hundred Ninety Five vehicles, cars or commercial vans, produced last yer.

There are 40 countries in the world that produce vehicles with Japan leading the way with Finland and Serbia at the very other end of the spectrum.
