Um, thats funnny. What about Chevrolet? Saturn? Isuzu? The many other GM cars?

I'm a big fan of Chevrolet, and I will in all probability buy a Chevvie. I want to buy a Corvette when I'm in my late 20s... (about 30,000 pounds new) But I like the TrailBlazer...

Re: credit cards
 

I am not suprised how much people get into debt with credit cards, just look at the wages being offered in many jobs these days. How can a couple in a relationship that are both working on call centre type salaries afford to buy a house?

I am just looking at it from the angle of obtaining a mortgage, I dont know what the criteria is these days if it's still 3x the first salary and 1x the second.
But a couple working in a call centre earning £13K each would only get a mortgage for £52K. A 2 bedroom terrace house in my street (Welsh valley town) with no front garden or rear access has just sold for approx £80K and houses are cheap here compared to some areas.

I have to work in England because wages are so poor in Wales, I would be lucky to find a decent job in Wales and then it would probably be half what I am earning now. I just can't see how young people can get their feet on the housing ladder without getting themselves into some very serious long term heartache and debt.
