Wow, not my definition of a "clunker", just goes to show you our politicians know nothing about our hobby/lifestyle. And probably care less.

jharrison5

I feel sick to my stomach knowing that someone did that. Will never happen to my IROC if that stupid program ever comes back.

JMR

actually i liked that program because if it never existed i would of had a hard time finding vert specific parts; my local junk yard was filled with rejects... no hard feelings.

a side note: these car where not appreciated in the first place so their destiny had been written long before the program came along.

also stupid cause alot of those cars get great gas mileage

MR.GTA

Not only that, but he could have at least pulled that factory CD player out of it. Those things are HARD to come by.

WTF just looking at that list of car makes me thing wow some people don't really care about their cars
There were some good cars there wow

injdinjn

Many of those people were sucked in by the environmental BS spewed out.

And a lot of those dealers didn't get paid because of "improperly" filled out govt forms, we all know how simple they are, and thanks to a slow govt were not able to resubmit before the deadline

SiCkRs

iTrader: (6)

WTF! Who would do that to all those cars especially the rare ones.

iTrader: (25)

All the more reason while i'll keep my old beater camaro and register is in a no smog county and keep on spewing! I thought the cash for clunkers car were only for cars between 80 something-98 or something though?

OK, I just can't stand ignorance. Forget eveything else I said.

You can make lemonade or compost. Your choice.

I dont understand why did they kill the engines?? What a waste.

That 2nd video was painful to watch. What a waste.

injdinjn

The engines are the polluter part.

On one video I watched it took forever for the motor to blow. And they way the blew them probably equaled 5 years of tailpipe emissions.

Typical govt knee-jerk program.

It was supposed to increase new car sales. It did, barely, and only for as long as the program was going.

OUTRAGED!!!

Oh well...

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

I just dont see how that Kia or Hyundai qualified as a clunker. The fuel rating they go off of isnt what you say it gets it's what it's estimated MPG from the factory was. I mean you can give your car a vacuum leak and the computer compensates by giving it more fuel to make the car eat too much gas but that shouldnt have mattered....weird.

SeanO23

ya those two are a little ridiculous, but it doesnt make me cry inside,

A GNX, TTA and a Typhoon...the 3 coolest cars of the 80's/90's from GM, and all worth at least 20,000 in good condition, they must have been owned by morons

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

Oh yeah deffinately I feel ya there.

stealthroc89

I don't understand why a lot of those cars were on there. Lot's of operational vehicles that most of us would love to have, just GIVEN away for $4500!? The newer cars are the dumbest part of it!! I'm trying so hard not to rant on about this, mostly because this isn't the place and I wouldn't be saying anything new, but it takes a certain kind of person to turn in some of these cars. I just hope they were picked clean of all their good parts, at least it wouldn't have been a total waste.

Just noticed this is in the Southen California area board, is this list for just CA, or the country? (please let it be the country)

INTIMIDATOR Z

iTrader: (4)

i think it was for the country

stealthroc89

Yep, you're right. Started looking into it more after I posted. Thank god too, just imagine if that was only for California!!!

rock861261

Just makes mine more collectable...

stealthroc89

Its just stupid how they wasted all those cars, most of them could have been fixed a little and donated to people that could really use a vehicle.
