I know cars are inanimate, lifeless objects, but watching that Volvo engine die almost brought a tear to my eye.

It looked immaculate and well cared for, so I'm buggered why they would have handed it in under the scheme. (Unless the owner shits money and wanted to make a 'Green' statement)

What possible advantage could there be to destroying the engine, if you dont want it to run just throw the keys away, such a complete and utter waste of a perfectly good car, albeit a Volvo

Hi,

It has stimulated the car economy in America quite well. Initial funding for the program had to be doubled within a month of the plan being implemented. Most of the Asian brand cars that people are buying are built in the US anyway - the main three on the list are anyway - Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.

The gasses being expelled are apparently very harmful to our earth. So that's a lot of stupid.

Obama is scary.

Cheers,
Nik

Obama is just a stupid porch ape. I too almost felt a tear seeing a good European car destroyed just so American can become strong again and once again try to tell the world how to live.

Hi,

Looking forward to seeing how many people took out a loan to purchase their new vehicle with said $3.5k deposit.

Cheers,
Nik

Kimberly Guilfoyle is pretty hot. I'd believe what she says.
