Participant“”I want a gov’t subsidy to help me get rid of my 12MPG SUV.”
That will be next. A gov’t bailout for owners of Hummers, Range Rovers, Escalades, etc. The genie is out of the bottle!

ParticipantGM’s business model is crap. They should be in BK within a year.
Concerning American made cars vs. foreign, let me share my experiences. I currently drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Mini Cooper. This is my fourth Grand Cherokee in 15 years. Most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. My Mini keeps going back to the shop for “check engine” light. Four times, and it still does it. I’ve given up and just reset the light myself with a handheld analyzer. Other than that, very fun car and economical. My sons and ex-wife have had four BMWs. Every one has had numerous electrical and engine problems. In fact one is currently disabled with a seized engine due to all the oil dumping out on the freeway. My daughter had a Ford Mustang I bought her for her sixteenth birthday. She drove it all through college and put 120K miles on it. It never saw the dealer’s shop since we bought it. I wanted reliability for her, and that’s what I got. My best friend has had two Suburbans. Each one he put over 200K miles on them. No major problems. In summary, over the past twenty five years, I have owned Jeeps (4), Mini, Mercedes, Mazda, Isusu, Ford, Porsches (5), BMWs (3), Mitisubishi (3), Chrysler (2), and Toyota, which should be a fairly good sampling. The American made cars were by far the most reliable. End of story.

ParticipantI researched this situation quite carefully, and I discovered that it’s very tricky and specific. The limit per depositor in any one institution is $100K. If you title the account as POD (payable on death), with beneficiaries, each beneficiary gets $100K in insurance, however you lose the original $100K. For example if you designate two beneficiaries, the account is insured for $200K, not $300K as you might assume. One beneficiary is $100K. The rules for beneficiaries is also very strict. They have to be blood related. The best insurance is to pull money out ahead of time and avoid the hassle of a claim. I closed my account at Indymac a month ago as it looks like it may be the next to fall.
