I thought they were going to lower, or at least freeze, our rates. Guess what? They were informing us that they would be RAISING our rates to help THEM get through the financial crisis! (I am not making this up!) Our only recourse would be to pay off the entire balance (perhaps with another credit card) or just accept it. BOHICA!!!!!

Click HERE Which is the same mileage as a 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon or a 1992 Acura NSX. ..

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

Saving the most ridiculous for last...The 1992 Subaru SVX (3.3 Liter 6) got a combined mileage rating of 18 MPG... The 1997 Subaru SVX (3.3 Liter 6) got a combined mileage rating of 17 MPG... Annd guess what the combined mileage estimate is for a fire-breathing 5.7 Liter V8, 1993 Corvette?... Ta-DAH! I didn't know I was in such esteemed company... But we legally get to kill a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom that only gets 14 MPG... and a Ferrari Testarossa which only gets 11MPG HERE is the Vehicle Mileage Calculator; enter various vehicles and have a good laugh. .

Re: Cash for clunkers...the final installment perhaps
The only thing worse than destroying an SVX with an EG33...
would be shredding a hand-built Rolls or to grenade a Ferrari flat 12 with Sodium Silicate.

Re: Cash for clunkers...the final installment perhaps
Has anybody noticed this statement on the Cash for Clunkers website?
“This application provides access to the DOT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a federal computer system and is the property of the United States Government." “Any or all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed to authorized CARS, DoT, and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign.” Kind of scarey.

Re: Cash for clunkers...the final installment perhaps
That is on the dealer side of the site, and supposedly not accessible to just passers-by.
When Glenn Beck reported on it last week (the only one who has, that I know of...), the white house yesterday released a statement saying that they were changing the language of that use-agreement. That doesn't mean they won't, or haven't already been doing that... just that the language of the warning won't be so direct about it. And I don't think "kind of" really approaches the level of seriousness of the government seizing control and use of private computers, every file on them, and distributing that information to law enforcement without a warrant for search or seizure, or to foreign entities.
