Here is my thought. If all the fuck ups who bought these gas guzzling dinasours named Ford Explorers that were the top trade ins for the Cash for Clunkers deal get $4500 from ego boy and his croonies then this is what "I" want for not having one:

I want $4500 to do an engine build of my choice.

I would be supporting aftermarket businesses and OEM manufacturers, not to mention local machine shops and mechanics.

It's my f'ing tax money so why can't I ask for this?

Face it we on this board would put that money to good use in "our" community.

Look at NHRA and ALMS, their sponsors are drying up. Hell John Force might have to drop a car or rearrange his crew!

I'll just sit back and listen to the crickets now because as usual the good kids get nothing but the pat on the back and their wallets raped while the fuck ups get the hand outs.

true story they should make all the people who trade in with cash for clunkers put a riveted metal tag on their trunk that says "I'm the dumbass who took your tax money"

Didn't you know? That's how our government works. The only people who get money are those who don't need it. And the rest of us pay while the government wastes our money. Doesn't matter if it's O-dum-a or someone else... politicians are all the same.

I should move to Canada... less morons there and their govnerment isn't as F'd up. Only messed up thing is how much they have to pay for gas, cars, and everything they import from here.

What's next, the government doing a bailout for people that live in trailers?

I agree....where is my check?

lol people with clunkers didnt really win.

They didn't just get 4500 in the mail or driving a peice of shit.

They probably got 4000-4500 for something they could have sold themselves for 1500-3000, BUT they have to buy a brand new car.

I know damn well people that can only afford to drive 1500-3000 dollar cars realistically (people get way too irrational when they think they're getting '4500 free') can NOT afford the 15,000-40,000 car in the first place.

These cars are going to be repo'd and their credit will be fucked, no doubt in my mind.

So don't worry about it

The money should have been given to the clunkers themselves to actually not make them clunkers. Give the owners the ability to take their cars to a shop and get a tune up, minor repairs, possibly new tires and such. This would directly stimulate the local economy, and give people the opportunity to get their vehicles running right...not making them going out and getting into payments.

Obama will bail them out anyway when their credit gets fucked.

Where is my "I'm not a dumb fuck and can manage my money and don't live outside of my means" money?

i'm still mad about the bud light. drink a real beer pussy!

i dont think that this program was implemented to bail out the people driving the clunkers.... i think it was supposed bail out the automobile manufacturers. however your point on stimulating the "local economy" is very valid. it would be nice to get something in return for not being a fuck up!
