ParticipantThe more I think about it, the more I like it. They were going to piss away the money anyway, this way at least I have something to show for it and I don’t have a clunker to trade in, wish I did. What did they give AIG? What did you get out of that? As taxpayers we own a pretty big car company, if people didn’t buy them it would cost us money anyway, this was just like having a sale. If it continues and we use less fuel, the price of fuel will drop for everyone and we will import less.
I had dreams for the stimulus money, I wanted to end up on the other side of this with non imported, non polluting energy, that was my only wish. I am still kinda excited about the algae technology that the oil companies are throwing millions at. I want solar power on my rooftop to be cheap and efficient, something the size of a dish network sattelite to run the whole house. I’m one of those guys who lived in a dorm built by the WPA and still remember, I want to to see the results if we are going to dig a hole for ourselves. When they send everyone $500 to stimulate the economy, it pisses me off, when they save a bank or an insurance company it pisses me off, but when they spend money on something that will have long term and short term benefits, I’m in. It may help save Ford, Gm and Chrysler, it may keep us from the tipping point. I’m one of those guys that doesn’t see NASA as a waste of money, because velcro is cool.
I also think that the current regime needs a victory and this could be one for them. I don’t play sides with politics, it’s all the same to me, but I do root for the home team no matter what logo is next to their name, so I want our current president to succeed, just like I wanted the last one to, and I will hope for the best for the next one. I still think that Ronald Reagan got us out of the last funk, not because of his policies, but because the 1980 US Olympic Hockey team, maybe, just maybe, cash for clunkers is Obama’s hockey team, because today’s enemy isn’t the Russians, it’s the guys we buy oil from.

ParticipantOT: Some Engine Disabling Videos for the morbid geeks
Jeep Cherokee dies rather quickly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DtsZE7o6_A
Oldsmobile Aurora takes some time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0IcIxhd8ks&feature=related
Chevy seems to die fast http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOEqJIGnXRw&feature=related
Amazing: Volvo simply refuses to die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waj2KrKYTZo&feature=related
No wonder these are built to last a million miles. I am going to have a Volvo as my next car. This is the best subliminal ad for Volvo IMO!

Participantflu,
You are truly a car guy and I hear you. I think it is wasteful and a lot of the parts are probably worth salvaging. I hate the throw away culture and this epitomizes it. It is true arrogance.
