Re: "Cash for clunkers" program ADMINS request

Just some thoughts:
1) I think it's good to get some of these gas guzzling SUVs off the road in favour of smaller more economical cars.
2) The gov't requirements to junk cars should have been much lower gas milage to restrict eligible vehicles to Hummers, SUVs, big trucks and big V8s. Efficient 4 and 6 cyclinders should never have been considered. Thus SVXs would not have qualified.
3) I can't imagine many SVXs getting caught in this program.
4) People taking advantage of this program have not done the math. Unless they really want one of these little crapola cars, buying a new car is never a good investment. Sell your SVX and buy a three-year-old little Honda civic, Subaru Integra or Mazda3. Your costs will be less, your debt will be less and your enjoyment factor will be significantly higher.
