I appreciate a lot of people have ended up in some horrible financial situations since then, but in talking with people I get the feeling the financial crisis is not as bad as the media wants you to think for the average person. Probably a good time to pick up a used Porsche, Ferrari etc :sly:
What I find annoying is how the media blames GM for not making vehicles that people want or not in touch with today's world. Ok, that might be true if they were trying to sell a Silverado in to Italy where it would take up both lanes of a road, but unless you drive around the US with a blind fold on it's pretty obvious that trucks are very popular vehicles.
