I really don't care if somebody scraps a perfectly good car *shrug*

The one thing I do find funny though is how this will all come back to bite people in the *** - people are trading in used 'junkers' that they can barely afford as is (in terms of gas&insurance), use the $4500 as downpayment and get a new car - congratulations, you've just gone from a car that's paid off that you can barely afford gas&insurance on, to a car that has you in debt wher eyou've got gas+insurance+car payments now.

Nobody learned the first time about over-extending themselves with debt, so let's try this again and see what happens (sic).

Not to mention now the govn't is training people to expect a handout - so when the c4c programs runs out of money a second time, sales will tank as people wait for the govn't to re-establish it for the 3rd time.
