Re: Cash for clunkers...the final installment perhaps

I am actually pleased that they ran through the first billion so quickly (a week, as it?) I'd rather not see it extended, but how long can they keep it going if it's costing (us taxpayers, btw) a billion a week? The sooner they put this to rest, the fewer SVX's will be "killed".

Have you read the procedure for "killing" the engine? (They use the euphemism "disablement".) Makes me cry to think they may be doing this to one of our beloved cars just for money. (And not much more than you would get for a trade, in my opinion.)

Here is a link to the "disablement" procedure. Anyone who does this WILLINGLY to their car is MUCH worse (imho) than someone who ACCIDENTALLY totals one.


How will you spend those "thirty pieces of silver"?
