“I will NEVER buy one of their cars, period! And now, I’m going to encourage others not to buy them either!”
and six months after the bailout, they’ll demand they be even MORE green, which will raise the cost, making us want them even less and making the car companies even MORE unprofitable.
I went to the Yamaha shop today and left with the "out the door" price for the 2007 Yamaha Roadliner. I'll liquidate some stock before capital gains taxes rise and stocks get hammered by Obama. It will be a cash deal. No credit impact. The Roadliner is good for long distance travel. 45 MPG. The DR650SE can do it at 55 MPG albeit less comfortably. The Yamaha TW200 and XT250 are good for 73 MPG, but not really freeway suitable. I'll have to wait until the streets and clean and dry before bringing the Roadliner home.
