Thread: cash for clunkers program

Tweet

Welcome to the reality of the brave new world..............much more to come, if allowed, mostly by public apathy.

My 16 year old truck just missed. Just as well, I ordered it with a 350 4 bolt. It'd be a shame to shoot that one.

I think the vehicles themselves can stay for parts, that was the purpose of the engine disablement clause...


personally.. few thing.. it's our tax dollars paying for someone elses vehicle.. This will end up with people leaving bad debts and put the country right back to square 1... the whole program makes little sense.. the vehicles traded in need to remain registered and insured for the period of 1 yr, no clue why as the qualafying vehicles also have to be liscensed for 120 days prior which cuts out people turning in non running/ unliscensed junkers... and not only that, it's going to limit the amount of cheap cars for sale, so those that need them will not have them or, ( with bad credit or whatever ) will have to use 1 of those sky high interest no/low credit car loans, and more than likely ither file for bankruptcy or just leave a bad debt due to not being able to afford it.. which is an effect I feel will come true after the program is up in november..

the program isn't going to effect our hobby, but it's not going to help the economy ither.. the 250,000 vehicles only include those produced after 1984
