Rolling over car loans could signal disaster for car sales {Autoblog}
Jan 1st 2008 7:01PM HA! I sold cars for nine years, and somewhere around 2000-2001 I began preaching the end of car sales as we knew it. 60 month used car leases were the first harbingers of disaster, then came the $3,000+ rebates that were being used to offset the negative equity that most consumers invariably have, but I knew it was time to get out from behind the fan when 84 month loan quotes were the norm from my bosses. This problem is much worse than the story could possibly convey. There is much more to financing a car deal than is seen from a consumer standpoint, used car "book sheets" are loaded with all the value adding options that are available (even though they may not be present), all in hopes of raising the vehicle's book value enough to force the negative equity into the contract. Then there's the little matter of taxes that may or may not be required of the dealer to collect, a pleasant surprise for any owner at the county registration office. It's been a problem a decade in the making, but hey, it's all about how many car deals are on the wall at the end of the day. Not the legitimacy or soundness of the deal...

Sep 13th 2007 2:25PM Ha! Typical left wing argumentative tactics. How about backing statements with facts and sources? If Bush could do half the things you people blame him for, I'd gladly vote him King/Dictator/Emperor/etc.

iTunes now serving-up Ringtones {Engadget}
Sep 11th 2007 12:03PM Holy crap! My WiMo phone is going to be hanging around for a while with it's cut and paste ringtones. I just finished rebuilding about 700MB of my music library after i-tunes rendered it useless. All I wanted to do was help my Grandma put some songs on her i-pod. Thanks a lot Apple, you've created a MS fanboy for life!!!
