Govt to suspend 'cash for clunkers'

[blue]

Seems like this Goverment program suceeded beyond everyone's expections.

I call this program a big Fail on two levels. One, I use junkyard parts to fix my vehicles where ever posible, this program scraps running vehichles and seizes their engines. This program is wasting many good parts that could have been reused by citizens like myself.

Two, as Kokopup pointed out the money ran out way to fast, and now we tax payers are funding even more waste.

Cash for Clunkers=Double Fail!

I wonder how many of the new cars will end up repo'd because the owners can't really afford payments? Clunkers may be clunky and inefficient, but at least they're usually already paid for.

My 15 year old Aspire gets better gas mileage than most new cars anyway. I'd have to "upgrade" to a hybrid.

If you do, get a "I strip mining" bumpersticker.

The money didn't run out, it all depends on which news story you read why the program was or wasn't or might be suspended.

As far as your Jeeps go, there were millions of XJ's produced. I doubt the 250,000 cars traded in are going to cause much of a dent in your parts availability.

The transfercase and drive shaft in my 96 ZJ are out of a 2001 XJ, IIRC. Older XJs dont have as many compatible componants I can use.

ZJs and XJs are being crushed in this scam, err program. That means fewer cheap junkyard parts for me and other yard tree mechanics.

How many CJs are going to be crushed in this scam? I have one of 240 CJ8 Postal Jeeps made.

Jeep, Honda, Chevy or Mazda. This scam is going to raise the price of cheap used parts due to them being crushed.

I find it interesting that the govt can just print money whenever they want it for whatever reason. If we did that it would be called counterfeiting.
