credit for clunkers

Those videos are kind of sickening.....

Glad you said something, I thought I was alone.   All I see is good roller block 350 cores going to waste.  Where do these seized engines go anyways?

I think I'll buy a 572 BBC and try my hardest to get less than 5 mpg while putting out the most pollution I can.  It should be the funnest protest ever.

What's the problem?  My plan was to increase our trade defecit buying more cars, to put American people into more debt and get the cheap cars off the road.  I want to get your children into as much tax debt as possible.  Hey, we reached a trillion dollar shortfall in our budget for the first time ever.  I'm gonna break my own record next year...shooting for 3 trillion next year.  Yes.  Change.  You wanted Change.  Have HOPE!  I hope to see change.  I'm changing the definition of Hope!  Hope means the Chinese have a chance to make money off of us.  Have Hope! 

Where do these seized engines go?  They get scrapped and shredded and sent to Japan to make more engines to sell back to us so we can send them our money.  Why should we keep these engines when we can send them overseas to be made into new ones?  I don't want people to buy cheap cars.  I am giving everyone so much money (if you don't work) so you can buy BRAND NEW CARS.  Aren't you glad?  In fact, I may increase it to $6k for your clunker.  Ha, it's not like it is my money anyway.  It's your rugrats'.  HaHaHaHa

I had a thought yesterday (I know, and yes it did hurt, a little bit)  Why are they letting people use cash for clunkers to buy any car not made by ford, gm or chrysler?  Why the heck are you able to use this to buy hondas and toyotas? 


Here's another nice thing on the CARS website.  Check it out.

Ah, c'mon, you know why.  Think about it.  Three words.... World War Three

That's why we have no tariffs on Jap, German, whatever cars.  Free trade.  It's all free trade.  Remember Clinton's NAFTA....North American Free Trade Agreement which assured that USA standard of living will fall to that of Mexico and Mexico will rise to that of USA.  Doesn't matter our employers pay healthcare, deal with unions, and pay a minimum wage whereas Mexican make 15 cents an hour w/ no health care or unions.  Free Trade...HA!

I can see those ships with american cars on board doing a U turn now to head back to California...we do have many exports of vehicles.  We do wanna keep that going.

  I'm going to refrain from the bashing I was just about to give.... What a waste

[76warpig]

I just saw them ruin a perfectly good suburban for that stupid cash for clunkers deal.  Have they no heart?  After that they interviewed a local salvage yard owner.  He is not a happy camper.  It's a conspiracy i tell you.

Basically it's the hippie's in power.  None of this crap went on until hippie's got old enough to be in positions of power.  Now doper morons who used to drive microbus' are trying to make everyone else drive bugs and microbus' and smell the trippy flowers.

They can take their flowers and green crap and......woohoo!

I felt a little bit better today when I used the smoky old ford tractor instead of the newer new holland.  I love my truck more now just because I know it cancels out like 8 hybrids when it idles...    I'll never believe that cars and trucks do as much damage to the environment as they would have me think they do.  Even the worst SUV is cleaner than the best 80's econo box.

Well, we did it.  We capitalized on my tax money to benefit me for a change.

We bought a 09 Ford Escape.  Say what you want about Ford, but, they are the only Detroit company that didnt go begging to D.C. for tax money.

Man, that thing is sweet.  All Fords have this thing called SYNC where you can plug in a USB device, like a SD card reader full of mp3 albums, and it plays it directly.  You say a command like "play Van Zant" and it jumps to the Van Zant album.  Then say "play next track" and guess what?  well you can guess that.

It's awesome.  I can have up to 20 albums on one SD card and it will play random, by album, by artist, whatever you want.  The sound system is awesome in there too.  Stereio controls right on the steering wheel.  It also has bluetooth technology to speak and hear over the stereo you cell phone calls, etc..

You can tell Kit (I mean the Escape) to give you the upcoming winning lottery numbers too.  Can't wait to try that one out. 

She'll get 30 mpg too.  I aint used to that right there.  The 96 Cherokee we traded in didnt get anywhere near that.  We got the max. $4500 smackaroos for the Jeep. 

I gotta tell ya, I never had so much fun stripping out a vehicle before....the dealer said you can take whatever you want from the clunker, just make sure you can "drive" it to the lot.  I stripped out the speakers, amp, stereo, visors, spare tire, jack, instrument cluster trim....I was having fun.  Even took the 5lb sledge hammer to the doors....they dont care.  It will be at the crushers soon.   And to top it off, the dealers are supposed to drain the oil out the engine and run the engine 'til she blows.   Really!!  They have to be running to get there, but, cannot run when they send it to the recycling company.  And get this...no one, the dealer, recycling company, no one can take anything from the vehicle, not even a screw....no doors, windows, alternators, tail lights....nothing.  It all must be crushed.   That's obama's way to ensure old clunkers are leaving the roadways.     

I drive a 2009 Ford Escape for a company car.  I love it as well.  Not quite as fancy as yours but sure gets the job done.

I would be for these electric cars if they actually looked good enough for me to drive, I hate these dumb ### hybrids that look like stupid #### mini vans.  I know GM and Chrysler know #### well that people love the old 70's muscle cars like the Challenger, Charger and Camaro, thats why they brought them all back! If you see a 2009 Prius drive by do you say "Wow did you see that prius" heck NO, but if you see a 2010 Camaro drive by, of course you say something! I tell you something, theres more eyes on beat up old muscle cars then brand new hybrids, theres a guy that comes in the restaurant I work at everyday, he drives a mid 80's Caprice Classic he swapped out the 4.3 and put in a 5.7 350SBC, he has dual glasspacks, the car isnt much to look at but he gets more eyes than some guy in a hybrid.

Death to all hybrids.


Piss!

[Lt.Del]

these dumb butt hybrids

like stupid butt mini vans

Yeah, I'd like to see the ignorant butt politicians drive the retarded butt electric cars.      lol, i kill myself sometimes 

[78 Chevyrado]

Yes Obama needs to ditch all the caddy's and suburbans. 

I think he would be all pimp-fly in a fleet of armoured Chevy Volts.  And nancy pelosi's jet should be traded on a single engine cesna.... 

It's hard to listen to a guy who rides around in suburbans and caddy limos try to lecture me for driving a suburban.

[dumbucket1]

Why do dealers continue to advertise for this when the money ran out some time ago?

[78Scottsdale]

Lmao, I didn't type "butt" hahhahahaa moderators have too much power around here :lol:
