the DVD "Who killed the Electric Car"? I rented it today and it was about an hour and a half documentary about electric cars (mostly the GM EV1) and the story behind all of it in the 90's. I found it to be really interesting and made me realize that the Tesla Motors car isn't really "new" technology. I recommend everyone either rent or buy it as it was a good watch IMO.

if you liked that try maxed out its about the credit card companys it really made me sick watching it.

I hate credit I was 19 with a shitty job and a 8000 visa first one I ever applyed for WTF. lets just say it didnt go to well for me. that was 13 years ago and I still pay in cash or debit.

that movie needs to be madatory for high school seniors.

eh, you cant say credit is all bad. just a year ago i had ZERO credit, got a credit card and just putting little dinky stuff and paying it right off allowed me to finance my truck fully in less than 6 months. all in how ya use it man

Credit isn't bad, credit card companies, however, are the devil. But sometimes you have to dance with the devil, like it or not.

How else are you going to buy a house, save up for 20 years and pay cash?

the reason I hate credit is I was 19 and made 8 bucks an hour and got a $8000 card. How in the hell can that happen. Im much wiser now. And I know how the game works. cc companys are the devil this is true.
But ill tell you this I worked my ass off paid for college without taking a loan and no help from mom and dad. the only thing I will ever take a loan out for is a house and a car getting a evo x next year :)

I hope you were bright enough back then to not max it out :) I'm pretty deep myself, about $10,700, but i just picked up a mechanic job at a place that builds giant forming/cutting machines, making $13.50/hour. Not a bad jump from 7.84 lol But out of that 11k, the bike was about 7 of it....x(

no I maxed it but I will never let that happen again. I was 15k deep at one point now im about 2g in the hole much much better.

I'm about 1.5k in the hole right now not including bills that are just one month overdue. Sucks, at 8.50 an hour, but theres no complaining about it, we did it to ourselves.

Just keep workin and hoping nothing tragic happens that screws you over even more.

Electric Cars to Credit Cards, hmmm lol
