Car: Buy something you can afford. Cash. No, its not going to be pretty.
Make a monthly car payment to yourself in a savings account. Every month, just like you would had you purchased a car via credit. Drive said car until the wheels fall off. Check out your car account. Instead of going into debt and paying interest, you are saving for a new car and being PAID to do it via interest. Trade in that piece of shit and get a decent $8000 car. Do the same thing. After several years, you'll be paying cash for $30k cars. Making money on it the whole time, not paying interest, and getting a kick ass deal on the purchases because you are paying cash.
Only one thing. You really don't get better deals because you are paying cash. We make more money if you finance. I love when people say this but it just isn't true. In my work I give everyone the same deals cash or not.

House passes historic financial rescue plan - Oct. 3, 2008
And yet the partisan hackery will continue, and people are still going to vote for the shitbags Osloba and McStain. Fuck it, the American people deserve what they are about to get for being mindless sheeple.
There was a Chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a communist government.
In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, 'Do you know how to catch wild pigs?'
The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke.
'You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs that are used to the free corn start to come through the gate to eat, and then you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc, etc, etc. While we continue to lose our freedoms - just a little at a time.
One should always remember: There is no such thing as a free Lunch! Also, a politician will never provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.
And yet the partisan hackery will continue, and people are still going to vote for the shitbags Osloba and McStain. Fuck it, the American people deserve what they are about to get for being mindless sheeple.
No, the government should NOT bail these bastards out. But again, if they don't, we're all screwed.
