As for insurance companies, I rarely say this about anything, but they need governmental regulation. What they are allowed to base rates on is crazy.

I agree, regulation is needed there, and with the oil industry. I loved how the prices dropped a lot when there was more talk of a congressional hearing on why gas prices were so high...lol
"getting a job" and buying a new car is not smart...having a job, and as much knowledge as possible to know the future stability of said job, is a big factor. Buying cash, of course, is best!
Myself, I had a good annual review, that gave me some confidence just before I had a week off - bought the Z before the week was up - lol.
