Man where do I line up for this "free money"? I'll bring a 53 foot trailer and they can fill it up.

Many dealers in this area are 150K or more in the hole because buckwheat hasn't coughed up the promised "free money"MarkP said:Local dealer is not completing the 'clunker' post trade-in process until the government pays up.
Good move on their part.

Bahnstorm said:If you want a real good example of how much of an epic fail this program is, take a look at the video on youtube of the "clunker" Volvo someone turned in. Thing looks practically new. I feel so much better about the world now that this clunker is destroyed. Volvos have such a poor reputation for being unsafe, fuel sucking, short lived vehicles right? The folks that turned that in must really needed that credit to afford a new car. I'm so glad my tax dollars could help. What a fucking joke. I don't mind folks junking their POS, but seeing stuff like this and knowing America is going to pay for it boils my blood. 2nd vid from the top:

Blue said:Wow....after watching this cash for clunkers debacle develop over the past week I must admit that I'm ashamed, as an American, to be associated with this program. Think of how we must look to the rest of the world....ignorant fat fuck Americans paying themselves to destroy perfectly good cars. All in the name of "saving the environment". It's such a transparent sham, it's truly embarassing.

How is this program helping poor people with old clunkers? How is abusing and destroying a perfectly good late model car and spewing clouds of smoke and oil and other engine fluids on the ground helping the environment? (and the morons are even laughing while they do it)
DavidV, I can understand why you wanted to "take advantage" of this program but I have absolutely no respect for people like you.
MUSKYMAN said:national news is reporting that the cash for clunkers program has now showed a dramatic trend of people turning in american cars and trucks and being replaced with small imports.
the top selling 6 cars are all imports.
I know it's bullshit in that it, like the mortgage bailout, rewards consumers for bad decisions and does nothing to reward consumers that have been doing the right thing all along.Blue said:The fact that a Rover is getting chopped isn't what offends me; it's the fact that you've taken part in a bullshit program. What's even worse is that you've clearly stated that you know it's bullshit in your rather lengthy self-justification treatise above.
