It has been the relative low end employees i.e.. Construction, manufacturing etc.. That (as usual) have taken the blunt of the lay offs, so I give this very little credibility (unless you live in Detroit or some place similar)

In SD there is a lot of Wireless communications work and that has been one of the few bright spots in communications over the last 10 years so I would not expect to see a lot of high end employees hitting the streets in SD myself.

In L.A. the entertainment industry is having record profit the last few years so I would not expect to see a lot there either.[/quote]

LOL… Do you do even the slightest research before you post those duzzies?

Everyone relax. The empire is crumbling and the powers that be are trying to manage the fall. The dam will break on their time frame.

As for the Gov. or banks “managing” things to keep housing prices up, please remember that they went nearly straight to 50% off to move inventory in many areas. Of course they can’t have every market returning to almost sanity at once. If your area has not seen the 50% off then just be patient.

There are empty houses all across CA. If you think that’s a sustainable plan for the banks then go join the bidding war ranks; otherwise just chill 🙂

Just don’t buy a Toyota Hybrid until you search the term “Toyota hybrid system failure” Now there’s some good electrical system failure reading!

Here’s a good one:
“On June 13th, 2008 I was traveling in my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid on interstate 15 between Las Vegas & Barstow, CA when suddenly, without warning, my car lost power and effectively shut down. On the dash the warning “Hybrid system failure” appeared. After easing my car off the freeway I observed smoke coming from under the hood and within minutes a small flame appeared from under the engine compartment. I watched, helpless, as the car became engulfed in flames and was destroyed”
http://getsatisfaction.com/toyota/topics/my_camry_hybrid_caught_fire_and_toyota_doesnt_care

Or a Nissan….. it appears the flagship Murano has had some serious electrical and reliability issues.
http://www.lemonlawclaims.com/nissan_murano_vehicle_problems.htm

Just a taste:
“THE DASHBOARD STARTED SMOKING WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT/ THE NAVIGATION DEVICE/ STEREO SYSTEM, AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WERE MOUNTED”
&
“WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY AND BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND REPLACED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK PE04077_CAT”

That sounds fun, especially the “problem recurred” part.

Honda is no different, a search of Honda electrical problems brings up page after page of problems but this is what caught my eye:
You can get yourself a slightly used CRV and get a class action law suit thrown in!

[quote=4plexowner]but what is “American” today?

if I buy a Toyota that is assembled in Tennessee is that American?

GM is about to start producing cars in China – if I buy a Chinese made GM am I complying with your rules are am I still in trouble?

just trying to understand …[/quote]

Good question. Find a car built in the US by a US company. That way you support US jobs and the profits from your purchase stay here to work for you and I and our kids.
