Too late - the cash for clunkers program is finis.

Ah yes…Let’s invest $4000 in the car that is worth only $500. Been there…

Ah…”Cash for Clunkers, Private Sector”.

Thankfully, a boat of that size can have the trans swapped out real fast, if you can find a replacement trans 0.o

Way over 600,000 trade-ins , in 3 months there may be a repo or two .

About the most horrifying thing you can hear from a shop.

Isn’t that a “belchfire 8” ?

I have a CR-V that’s a P-O-S … I heard the SAME THING - FOUR TIMES (at $4000 a throw!). I’m STILL hoping THIS time they got it right!

(Hey Perfessor, wanna SWAP? - At least HIS is “vintage tin”!)

And people wonder why I don’t own a car.

Is it under warranty?

Lewreader, I don’t think so.

I wouldn’t own a car either, if it wasn’t such a necessity. I never owned a car while I lived in Montreal. Everywhere else I’ve been, I couldn’t live without one.

maybe Mo Par Mitch can help him out.

I think she needs a funeral.

Shoot her!~!~

Wouldn’t matter if it has an extended warranty or not. Ever read the fine print? My wife’s first Nissan had an extended warranty and it said covered so and so part for life of vehicle except under normal wear and tear. This would be considered normal wear and tear so not only are you paying for a warranty you’re also going to pay for the trans as well.

Yup, over 600,000 cars taken off the market as otherwise having been resaleable at maybe a decent price. Now watch the used vehicles now left skyrocket in price and made unaffordable due to a much smaller inventory. Cute, real cute!

As I once head it put.

Pull a sheet over the head lights, and notify the next of kin.

Do you remember when Cosmo wanted to install an alarm in it? Irv, the mechanic said Cosmo already had the best theft preventive around – a 1959 DeSoto!

Now it’s an even greater theft preventive – an immobile 1959 DeSoto. (and it’s too old for “Cash for Clunkers).

And also slightly tardy .

I spent many a year taking transit, but finally got fed up and bought a car. I could tell many stories, but that won’t help anything.

$4CLUNKERS?…….What are you bone heads doing? Let’ssee!…..Pay-my-taxes- CHECK!……BUYACAR…..CHECK!…_…BUY A CAR WITH MY OWN TAX MONEY?…CALL-ME-A-SHEEP!!!
