Anyone check out the new job loss incentives that they are offering?

It dwarfs the hyundai "you can take your car back if you loose your job" campaign.

If you lose your job Ford will pay your payments for a full year and GM will pay for 9 months. Pretty good deal honestly. If the government stimulus for new auto sales was actually decent (compared to the crap we got), this would probably be enough to push me over the edge and get a new DD.

What a joke, people can't afford the shit they are buying to begin with. Lets put an even bigger strain on an already struggling economy by offering temporary freebies.

What happens after the 9 months? "OOOPs, I did it again"

Has anyone else ever wondered why its FREE for the entire world to send something to the United States, but when I send a set of aftermarket 1994 Mustang headlights to my friend in Holland they import tax them over 150 euro! Call me crazy, but just does not seem right...
