    What an absolute waste! What really gets me, is so many of the vehicles traded in as, "Clunkers" are worth more than the clunker program offered.

    A guy at work said this is the govt's way of getting rid of all the affordable cars so we are forced to finance more expensive cars...

    Next time they'll get bored with that technique and they'll run it at 6k rpm, the block will split and the flywheel will go "somewhere"....

    That looks to be a mid-80s vintage Vette... its an old TPI motor, not an LT1.

    This cash for clunkers is just like the $8k first-time-homebuyer credit. It's a quick way to get some money changing hands and people doing business. If the rest of the economy (job creation through the private sector primarily) doesn't catch up, then this is all just a flash in the pan.

    Not only that... the government cash for clunkers is taxable income to those getting it. So the $4,500 they thought they got is only $3,600 to $4,000 depending on tax bracket. How's that for slight of hand.
