You don't live in Michigan and you should be happy about that. The overall reliance on auto related jobs here has us with an eggs-in-one- basket economy. Forclosures are everywhere. The region has the highest unemployment figures in the country. At the same time people don't save like they used to and everyone is up to their eyes in debt.
Some of the truth is that like you, I pay cash wherever possible and I buy used cars and let someone else take the depreciation hit. I have several credit cards but have zero balances on all of them. If I don't have the money, I don't buy it. I am lucky to have a job that has zero automotive work and our plant has been working overtime until recently.
I lost my job 4 years ago and it was bad then. It's way worse here now but thank God I still have my job. We learned to shop at Wal Mart, turn lights off, use CFL's, cut back on the phones, stay home, consolidate trips where possible. All the simple stuff that pays off.
I was in a rear end crash 2 weeks ago when I stopped for a garbage truck in the road a pickup slammed into me doing about 50 mph. My Chevy Impala was totaled but I was unhurt. I have been out shopping for cars and trust me they act like there's no urgency to sell cars around here. Both new and used cars have premium prices and without rebates, they would not be discounting new ones at all. I figured that if I could get a good deal I would spring for a new one and help the economy but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances.
