I also blame the crooks that gave them those loans.
50/50 blame split.

One year, I went shopping on Black Friday because I am an IDIOT.
I will NEVER subject myself to such torture again.
I get frustrated enough dealing with assholes on regular days, seeing 20 thousand extra all in one place doesnt make things any better.
I will admit, I scanned through some of the ads to see if I did catch anything good.
This is sort of random, but does anyone have any experience with the new Navigon GPS system? The one that has the real time traffic shit and the highway signs and ramp info...
Id like to get one for my boyfriend but wanted to know if anyone else has used them, and if anyone has seen any good deals LOL!

75/25 blame (75-mortgage brokers and bankers who should have known better versus 25-half-illiterate people who were pressured into taking loans they couldn't afford so that the brokers could get more fees. That's why it is called predatory lending. It's just a shame major banking institutions decided to take on the role of loan sharks.)

Speaking of GPS systems, anyone know a good one that provides real time traffic updates? What is the deal with WTOP traffic reports? Every report covers Kennelworth Avenue, yet they act as if I-66 doesn't even exist. They report on it once every half hour, and it is usually out of date information when they do.

WashingToneLocian, I am seeking the same thing - a good GPS that isnt a slow piece of shit, is accurate, and has the real time traffic shit.
Unfortunately, I read something that says "only in select cities" and I would have to assume that DC would be there, but I am not 100% sure about the suburbs. Id like to think so, but I wouldnt put it past someone to just skip out and put some shit hole in Maryland there instead of FFX lol.
Kiev, is the Mio accurate and fast...and does it have the traffic info? lol.
I need something fast dammit!
BF is probably moving to Norfolk, and the traffic can be ridiculous down there, especially when all you know is the main roads!! BOOO.

Mio is accurate, and recalculates the route very quickly.
No traffic.
I have stopped following traffic around this area years ago.
I just assume that traffic sucks between hours of 7 am and 10 am going East and 3 pm till 8pm going West, on all major roads.
When I do need it, I use my blackberry and Google Maps to get latest traffic info.

I know this does not contribute materially to the thread, but I found it very humourous to see "Kenilworth Avenue" stated as "'Kennel'worth Avenue"! Sorry, just looking for some relief from the gridlock that we all face!
