its about a 2.5hr drive, one way. if they offered me a job, i would consider moving out there
 
I hear ya man I'm getting terminated from my job on March 9. They closed down the entire plant I work in. It sucks really bad and I have to move back in with my parents for a bit. There 's a lot of layoffs happening around where I live.

sucks man, at least you got somewhere to go in the meantime. if i stayed with somebody temporarily, that means id have to sell all my stuff or put in storage for who knows how long. either way, this crap is never fun
 
news article from your area, looks like the credit union are being pretty aggressive.

CU hopes to spark local economy with low-rate auto loans
FRESNO, Calif. (2/11/09)--Educational Employees CU (EECU) will begin offering car loans Thursday with interest rates as low as 2.99%, which is several percentage points below the national average. The promotion ends Feb. 20.
The deal offered by the Fresno, Calif.-based credit union includes the following conditions: the low rate is good solely in Merced, Calif.; the rate applies only to 2006 model vehicles or older; and members have to qualify to obtain the rate (Mercedsun-star.com Feb. 10).
The rate applies for new purchases or refinances, and the credit union is offering 100% financing, EECU told the newspaper.
It's a good development to see financial institutions getting aggressive with auto financing because many banks are not lending or they're just waiting while matters get worse, Perry Robinson, general sales manager at Merced Volkswagen Kia, told the paper.
Several car buyers already had visited Robinson's dealership Monday after the new rate was announced, Robinson added.
EECU has $1.746 billion in assets.
 
dont know if i told you, FDIC came in friday, Westamerica has acquired the bank. we're all just waiting to see what will happen!!
