I'm the only one banks are willing to lend to right now.

Eri — 11/22/2008 3:23:34 AM (archived)

While credit is dried up and no one can get a loan to buy a car, a house or damn near anything else, I keep getting offers in the mail to refinance my home, or take an unsecured loan with a finance company, etc. etc.

Why me?

And I ain't buyin'. Ford can have my loan. After all, I have a vested interest in keeping them in bizness. I drive a Ford and eventually will need parts.
