Hi,
I am wondering what everyone thinks about the new cash for clunkers thing the US is trying to pass. We have an 88 clunker and it gets about 13 miles per gallon and we hope they pass this bill. :o) Of ocurse, people will have to trade for a new car and have a payment, and if people have bad credit, I wonder if they can.

House Votes to Give $2 Billion More to 'Cash for Clunkers'
Week-old government program to encourage car sales had proven so popular with consumers that it was almost out of cash. The House bill would redirect funds in the already-passed economic stimulus package that were intended for energy loan guarantees.

Hello,
Sorry about that. I thought people has stopped writing on this one. :o)
I suppose the cash for clunkers thing was a great hit, but what will happen in a few months? :o(
We kept our clunker, as we did not qualify for a loan on a new vehicle and could not afford that anyways. That part was a joke. I think the cash for clunkers was made for those who have good incomes. :o) I am glad for those who did it and for car dealers who it helped. I just did not see the whole picture of it, I guess.
Thanks for your comment! :o)
I hope your week is going great!
