If I worked at a dealership, I would probally be trying to save that 4eye like a baby in a burning building.
That statement on the website says a lot about the government.

A lot of higher income middle aged people are trading in cars their kids drove on this cash for clunkers thing..
BTW I HATE this program.. It is a pain in the ass for the techs.. we have to drain every fluid from the car and then seize the motor and push it out and take the gas we took from them and put it in used cars..
All for 2 hours...
I work for Acura and we've only gotten on c4c candidate, which was a mid 90's cherokee. It hasnt come through the shop and I dont think we even have the silicate to destory it if we had to.
If I do end up being the one who has to seize the thing, better believe its getting a dealer plate and going offroading first, then the remaining gas will be siphoned diredctly into my DD.
Besides, I dont need chemicals to wreck an engine, Ive done it all by myself plenty of times.

More pix of that fox are on page 4
This a**ol deserves to get shot. That is a clean 4 eye. Much better condition than mine. This government sucks. I get about 10 MPG and ain't no politician gonna tell me what to drive. Instead of gas guzzler Suburbans and Cadillac limos why doesn't Obama start rolling around in a Prius of a Fusion Hybrid? Sad day for the fox

he couldnt do that, other wise he would have had to raise taxes on newports and kools and non philip morris stuff, which he conveniently smokes.
It's still a voluntary program. Granted, some cars we love are gonna get crushed, there are still a majority that will not be missed.
Besides, is that Fox a $4500 car? Do you think it would sell for that on the open market in this bad economy?

I didn't know they also had the motor destroyed, I was kind of assuming the cars could still be parted out at the JY. Makes me sick thinking of some of the perfectly good motors that will get trashed.
this whole program is total bull****, its costing billions of dollars, the whole thing about making the enviornment better is a mask for the government to peddle new cars and keep dealerships from going under.
what about all the 4cyl junkers that burn a quart of oil every gas tank that are still on the road? Lets not forget that this isnt helping the econemy, its hurting it by paying people trade thier running car so it can be turned into scrap

that corral post said that they destroy the whole driveline not just the motor, drain all the fluids that can cause polution and send em straight to the crusher. Sad part is, cars like that 86 GT, you couldnt even buy it from the dealer if you wanted to...

Its called protection genius.....something EVERY president must have in the past and future. lol
That comment was about as dumb as someone trading in a nice mustang.
But unfortunately, hotrodders are a very small fraction of people who matter in the automotive world. LOL VERY FEW people give a damn about that fox. It aint nothin special to me

I dont think this program is bad. It gives people a good chance to get there bucket off the road and get a new reliable car, while getting some of these gas guzzling cars off the road, also while helping out these car companys that are hurting. I dont want to start a health care debate but I think it is ridiculous that the stupid conservatives are saying if the government cant run this program how can they run health care. I think the fact that they are runninig out of money sooner then they expected is a sign that the program is working better then expected. Besides just trying to say everything Obama does is wrong, what is so bad about this program? It is costing money but I think the benefits out way that.
Glen Beck is such a tool. At least on the site you have the choice of not clicking to continue, George Bush was tapping into everyones lives without even warning.
There are just some people who are always going to listen to what Fox News has to tell them, and wont see anything different. Spending billions of dollars a month in a far off country for no reason is ok because we are patriotic, but spending 1 billion in our own country with more than one benefit, it would be good if Obama didnt do it.

Yeah I would be nice if there was a government junkyard to part these cars out and recoup some of that 4500 per car the tax payers are shelling out
Well, when you give the government 5 dollars and get back a dollar and some frys. I'd be pissed too. I mean, you know this money isn't all stored up in the bank right? When I can't afford something, I save up the money and buy it (or use the unheard word.... budget).
I think I'll trade my 90 LX in for a Kia. That should help out those car companies.
