Don't turn this political at all, please.


Just an FYI, MSNBC is reporting this program ends monday.

I know Ducatiz was planning on using this program and maybe a few others too.

It ends at 8:00 EST Monday

we can't

all of the 2010 models we want are sold (pre sold) ~AND~ our volvo gets 1 mpg too much to qualify.

i am kind of relieved, i didn't want it to get destroyed.  it's such a sweet car.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

wow... i'm eerily in the same exact boat you are (sans the 2010 models, i haven't looked at that yet)

1995 volvo gets 1mpg too much (even though in real life it gets considerably less), and i'd rather not see it get destroyed.

yeah, i think they looked at the average combined mileage for sedans and dropped by one MPG..

what model is yours?

It's a shame that the program has run dry so fast. I'm not taking part in it as my vehicle is nearly paid off so no car payment is better than a "new" payment double of the old one for a "new" car.

I saw that too about the Explorer; lol, it was way popular and way uneconomical!!

my local crazy whack job KKK mechanic was a tow truck driver for 30 years; of course he did repo on the side for extra income (I guess you get a percentage of the banks value or something. He said most cars would yield 200-800$)

He has some make the beast with two backsed up stories, it is pretty funny.

My younger brother is a repo guy and makes crazy money doing it. Of course, his last trip down to east STL, he came back and quickly got his CCP and a vest.

pardon me if the cash for clunkers scam plan didnt make me all warm and IZ_....
i will keep the rest of my opinion to myself, unless anyone wants an earful by PM
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
