Yup, that's me. If the economy was in much better shape I would have ordered my Camaro already and be sitting here waiting for Feb 16th to arrive. But instead, I'm holding off until next summer to give the whole economy time to stabilize just to make sure I'll have a job to pay that loan payment with. When oil was up above $100, I worried about nothing but now with it near half of that, even working in the oil industry is concerning.

If people think the demand for oil dropped off before wait until you have 3 million more people not driving because they aren't working.

I say the government should quit giving help to the financial sector and provide assistance to manufacturing and retail operations. Financial people make money on nothing but speculation. At least manufacturing and retail make money by actually providing something tangible to people.

Chevy - Like a rock! Hopefully not one sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
