Cash for clunkers Pontiac

[spongebob773]

You have to remember,Cash for clunkers gave out what? $3500-$4000 for trade ins? I know most will hand out $3500 easily for this ride if it was near me for sale but like others have said the people buying these are pretty much teenagers or young adults. They aren't even looking to spend that much and are gonna haggle the owner to death to lower the price. This guy got the money no questions asked and quick. You gotta see it from their eyes. Still very sad but I own three thirdgens atm so eh.

[crazymonkey626]

if i were you i would have claimed that this car was "stolen" sad to know this went to a crusher for a bitch car

[SlightlyCracked15]

Such a beautiful machine. Could of been nice with some TLC.

[Mr99cr250]

hahahaahahahaahaa



[KH990j]

And people wonder what happen to old classic cars 20 years from now. :(

[10072018]

Not the greatest car ever, but sure deserved better than to be utterly destroyed.

[pavlos999]

Good thing cash for clunkers got that car it was an environmental hazard!!!! Did you see how much smoke was coming off the tires!!! I'm sure the new subcompact they traded it in on won't have that problem...

[PunksloveTrumpys]

@pavlos999 Yeah... I can see a pretty big environmental hazard from all the smoke pouring out of the engine while its being seized with sodium silicate, environmentally friendly way to dispose of a car? Dreaming. Sports cars generally cover less miles than plastic subcompact shopping carts, so you'll probably find the trade in isn't too much better at saving our precious planet than this classic 'weekend' banger. And will a modern econobox last 25 years? Nope, it'll be landfill in 10.

[73pontiac]

fucking bullshit.

[zizzlefiggle4969]

i would've taken dat firebird in a heartbeat. a needy person can only dream to own a car like that!

[PeugeotvsSaxo]

is it true it was obamas idea to do this?

[KrankieV2]

77 people drive a prius if they like to see that get crushed

[gabiggg888]

1word - democrats

[stjo555555]

good drift dude!!!i hate pontiac but yours is clean!!

[yodibrodi]

i love the third generation f-bodies. that one is a hard runner too... or was. now it's worthless scrap. not even available as a roller for and enthusiast looking for a project because even the bodies had to be crushed after a short period of time. i gotta quit watching these, it's depressing me. damn oreo.

[aaron71]

i just ignored the title and enjoyed the video :)

[SFBBelmer]

I used to have an 88 Formula with a 350 tuned port injection, I miss that car dearly, :(........ cash for clunkers was a bullshit democratic scam

[YouRk0ed11]

i don't get this cash for clunkers thing , like..why does this guy get to do this ? they're going to scrap this or something?

[raineyj]

@YouRk0ed11 yes it was sent to junkyard afterwards

[Sidewinder9877]

I own a 1986 V6 T-top bird. The headlights work properly and everything. I'm letting it go for $1,000. To an owner who will take care of it, not for bullshit programs like this.

[DEADINSIDE1991]

wow traded that in for a pos blend in with the crowd car my dad owns a 1987 firebird (tho its only a v6 hed never trade that car in)

[FirebirdDude]

Previous owner = FOOL.

[raineyj]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 I guess. that car was in good shape though. seemed a waste

[raineyj]

@IROCwarriorAMC88 guy traded it for a miata.

[WitchhunteR82]

@raineyj you mean gAy traded it for miata :D

[molly1246]

certified inbred fucking idiot

[raineyj]

@molly1246 i love it when you talk sweet to me

[raydarkness]

:(

[raineyj]

@shane42037660 they got a miata, thats bad enough

[midnightfirews6]

auto or stick?

very nice driving... such a shame that car went how it did.

[raineyj]

@midnightfirews6 automatic

[KillColdBlood]

She went out doing what she did the best...None the less a damn shame to see such machines on death row. Especially now since the Pontiac line itself is gone.

[GMisurdaddy]

I used to own a 92 formula and I still have dreams of having that car back, I LOVED that car and seeing this video literally brought tears to my eyes knowing it was destroyed :,(

[ebaGabe]

is this really about giving away / destroyin the engines / trading dreamcars like this for new cars? I can't believe that. it makes me sad. I'd love to import such a car here.

[TheRebelman95]

did someone really cash for clunkers this. thats like the last muscle car

[2007Escalade]

It is very nice that you guys gave these cars a heroic ending before they died.

[jameslinton50]

A really good example of someone who can really drive!! :D Thowing that heavy Pontiac around and the flick at the end was tight then on the brake again..

[raineyj]

@jameslinton50 thanks

[Jgeneraledger23]

New CFC; trade in any Japanese car, for a new American one.

[ShepperdW]

I like miatas, but this is no fucking way for this car to go out.

[Drewrob26]

That is bullshit what happened to all these great low mpg cars...

[CosmicCatman]

it is sad to see that beautiful machine die im just glad someone gave it some funn before putting it to sleep

[sshheerrwwiinn]

R.I.P.

[SteelskinDMC]

Drivin' it like ya stole it! Shame a car that nice got put down but not without a last romp.

[peptojr]

what a shame damn nice car straight as a pin i got a 90 formula myself with the original 305 tbi with 201,000 miles on it and runs like a new one who ever traded that in should be hanging in a tree somewhere with obama

[DizzyMan24]

Damn, that is a teenagers dream first car... I cant beleve someone wanted to get rid of it

[raineyj]

@DizzyMan24 for a miata

[DizzyMan24]

@raineyj Got rid of it for a miata? Wow! Miatas are worse than firebirds! What a waste!

[knaxon]

@raineyj FUCKING FAIL.. omfg miatas are pieces of shit i swear to god. With the little index finder door handles i mean come on fucking lame,.

[Rctrilogy]

You were very lucky the cops weren't called. It looked like a radio controled car doing nothing but burnouts. Thanks for posting!!

[knytrydr73]

The guy who traded this car in should be taken out into the street and shot! I'll bet he traded it for some imported car. The cash for clunkers program should have required you to buy an American car since the point was to help the American economy. How'd that work out? Oh yeah, it didn't!

[musclekid13]

@knytrydr73 Word is he traded for a Miata........ 

[knytrydr73]

@musclekid13 : NOOOOOOOOO!

[raineyj]

@knytrydr73 its true. he got himself a fagged out miata

[musclekid13]

@knytrydr73 I'm not a huge fan of the year and in my opinion the 305 was kind of a pig of an engine however its a Firebird Formula!!! Very rare car!! I would never trade it for a fagged out Miata.

[blizzardx808]

are you guys looking for a part time employee?

[ajd157]

its Smokey and The Bandit all over again!

[Siegetower]

Well if it's going to be destroyed, go have fun and thrash it. But seriously, every video I watch about this program....what a waste Mr Odumba.

[cbaxz24]

its sad that cars like that have to be destroyed i would kill to drive somethin like that

[ventureelect]

This just makes me sick to see an american classic junked. geez.

[carmencolumbusohio]

OMG!!! that guy kicks ass! The car is AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE pontiacs. YOU should have bought that car dude! That was better than the dukes of hazzard :D

[patrickkpt]

1. AWESOME driving 2. was that before or after you drained the oil?

[raineyj]

@patrickkpt thanks and definatly before the oil was drained

[MargeraSk8r08]

kudos to the driver of that beast

[TRcustomengineering]

Man... He can drive! hehe

[raineyj]

@TRcustomengineering thanks 

[cat2769]

At least a third gen went out in style. I worked at a salvage yard when this program was going on, It was sad to see some of the vehicles that came thru. Irocz and f150 lightning still kills me.

[99GPSE]

The duke boy's back in action

[angelahk28f]

It's probably a Kia Dealership, lol.

[idontlikecops1]

that nigga can drive

[madasirrah]

dude u got some skills there!

[Buckbuster247]

what a beautiful car to waste. thank you government. i hope this wasnt traded in on some POS ricer.

[raineyj]

@Buckbuster247

[Buckbuster247]

@raineyj what was it traded in on?

[raineyj]

@Buckbuster247 A Mazda Miata

[Buckbuster247]

@raineyj a what????????? who the hell would trade a beautiful car like that on a miata????? were they thinking right? people are really dumb these days trading in a car they could have sold to the right person for $5000+

[anthony2009accord]

@Buckbuster247 i liked ur comment up untill "pos ricer" hater

[Buckbuster247]

@anthony2009accord sorry about that man but the program just ticked me off. people should only have been able to trade them on true american vehicles like gm, mopar, or ford products if obama truly wanted to help the american economy.

[DANNY25SS]

hey when we rob the bank next week you up fo some wheel man work lol jk ;)

[raineyj]

@DANNY25SS that was pretty fun getting to drive like that

[Posi12Bolt]

do you own the dealership? or your family? or is your boss just super cool and doesnt care your out back havin a blast?

[pisser20001]

sweet driving dude!

[racer138]

what up ken block

[derbydriver]

Gave that car a proper farewell, at least.. Sad that it had to be destroyed, but nice to see someone got to enjoy it one last time. Nice driving.

[ad356]

that fucker ran good. too bad it doesnt anymore. hopefully this country will never repeat the bullshit of cash for clunkers. im hanging on to my 89 camaro you CANNOT have it obama. 350 v8 tbi swap, 3" exhaust, performance cam, improved heads, headers, and a limited slip diff. these cars are extremely cool and they will never be produced like this again. no traction control, no abs, no bullshit

[raineyj]

definatly not wide open the whole time. I did it in a area that i could. Sorry I couldnt do some tokyo drift for ya. you couldnt do it at all though

[sharpshot411]

AHAHAHAHA They call this drifting.... you held the gas wide open and just kept going around in a circle no transfers nothing, powersliding not drifting.

[3rd4thgenFbody]

Nice formula shoulda kept it

[xwildman138x]

sweet skills, sad day for the formula

[firechicken76]

Did they really kill this? wow.....sad

[christdisciple1000]

That whole cash for clunkers thing was just dumb instead of destroying perfectly good running vehicles why not give them away to families and people who cant afford to buy good running vehicles it is just waste and dont sell them realy cheap GIVE them away thats the problem with the world today peopl are putting faith in the wrong things like money why not just help someone in need?

[rompn4x]

Clean Formula. Not too many of em left...

[blackout000013]

Bandit would be proud of that driving skill

but still WHO THE FUCK WOULD TRADE A SCREAMING CHICKEN IN AS A CLUNKER

[TroyBoy4201]

East bound and down load em up and truckin... lol

[Naturalhit]

Another classic gone to waste to cash for clunker. Thank you Obama.

[RaptorRider814]

nice driving

[zomgwtfbbqbagel]

you hear the supercharger in that beast?

[raineyj]

@zomgwtfbbqbagel no blower hoss. it was just a 305 tpi

[zomgwtfbbqbagel]

@raineyj ah :)

[HaguSlayer]

You guys know that these people had the choice to keep their cars right? Obama wanted all the junk cars off the road, the ones with the dents and oil leaks. The man who gave this car should be the one to blame, not Obama. The man could have sold in on craigslist, did he? If he did, why did no one buy it? Why weren't the people who are bashing Obama buy it? Maybe you couldn't ahve bought it, but SOMEONE or the man who owned this car, could have saved it, did they? No. People just blame Obama.

[drjesus616]

@HaguSlayer ... sounds as though you drank the obama kool aid ... look up the facts, the manufacturer who got the most sales from this "program" was not an american car company ... and while you can argue about where cars are made until your blue in the face ... the plain fact is, this was a complete failure and waste of taxpayer money ... and thats not just my opinion

[jgold95]

thats the way that car is supposed to be driven. Knight Rider style. awsome driving. what a shame it got killed, it looked in good shape.

[ryanmtanner]

is that a turbo i hear? This is no clunker

[rhcp257]

at least we got some good youtube videos out of this whole ordeal

[Death666wish]

such a beautiful, beautiful bird, what a shame...

[Death666wish]

one day i'll be doing that with my bird, one day....

Pontiac, the greatest american car ever made, GM only held them back...

[8BallGT]

nice driving man. I would never destroy that car.

[josh666675]

that mother fucker has power guess what not its fucking junk its wrecked.

[mytransam1978]

white trash

[splashibanez92]

So sad that his car was destroyed :(

At least it died after doing what it does best, burning rubber and putting a smile in your face! :D

LONG LIVE V8'S!!!!

[raineyj]

@splashibanez92 thanks

[bullnuts101]

Pretty good drivin' there man..damn

[raineyj]

@bullnuts101 thanks. Its definatly fun

[tntrocks13]

where did you learn to drive that good?!

[raineyj]

@tntrocks13 by just trying

[5tr33tkr0cks]

@raineyj ME TO I DRIFT LIKE YOU NOW IN DAYS WITH MY 1994 DODGE RAM IT FELLS NICE LOL

[countryboytn1]

@tntrocks13 Exactly what I was thinking... I don't think this is his first rodeo, not many people can drive like that.

[drjesus616]

just the fact that this car can still do that ... and drive away should convince any moron its not a "clunker" but no ... a politician in his infinite wisdom would mandate DESTRUCTION for a trade in on a FOREIGN car ... and here I am looking for a good low mileage crown vic for the winter, wondering why there seems to be so few around anymore ?

[Gruelius]

@drjesus616 thats one of the biggest flaws in the whole scheme

While some shitheaps get recycled lots of good cheap cars get traded in, giving people who can almost buy new cars the ability to buy new cars where as poor people who can only spend $4500 have nothing to choose from.

[eddiesautoworks]

Why can't I do this as my day job!?

[Hemuliboss]

Why are you "disabling" the engines? Cars look good and runs good, why why why?

[raineyj]

@Hemuliboss CASH FOR CLUNKERS

[DIENAMICProductions]

do you guys get in any trouble doing this

[allracing76]

Nice driving lol.

[BittingerMovies]

Dude, I would have been buried in that fucking car before I let them destroy it

[Steu022]

Well at least you managed to get some proper usage out of the car!

[raineyj]

thanks dude



[pizzaisgood14]

has to be one of the better raw drifting/burnout videos ive seen. guy is a pretty good driver

[BlueHeavenBound]

The sense of disrespect this video conveys; TRULY we are "fiddling while Rome burns".

[mannyzx1]

Whoever clunked this car is an ASSHOLE...

[smoothintentions]

That looked like sooo much fun. F*n sucks they turned it in. It looked like it ran really well.

[joe735]

how was the interior on that thing? cause the body looked great

[TheAssassin111]

i bet some dumbass traded it in for a fucking prius or a corolla

[raineyj]

@TheAssassin111 just as bad a Miata

[rozziboy20]

@raineyj damn, thats a hell of a jump! firebird to a miata?

[ilovetallwomen22]

what a waste

[doomsd46]

Doesn't the camera guy get a little dizzy?

[85CAPRICECLASSIC]

WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE GET RID OF THAT CAR FOR A NEW PIECE OF SHIT THATS THA LAST OF THE MUSCLE NOT A FUCKING CLUNKER

[wuscli]

mad driving skills!!!

[73ford250]

id do the same thing lol haha

[itsonlyafl3shwound]

dam that job would be sick!

[Charger3091]

That thing has so much power left under the hood....what a waste to see it locked up then junked...

[vividman100]

Now thats what i call driftin.way 2 go.

[Imakeplanesboom]

I was looking on ebay and craigslist for one of those. I would have paid 5000 in cash, FUCK OBAMA.

[bjsniffitproductions]

why would you trade that in?

[corvettegeorge1979]

This guy drives just like Steve McQueen.

[raineyj]

@corvettegeorge1979 Steve Mcqueen was awsome

[SuperWhoopass]

I must be fuzzy on what defines a clunker. Any car that can do that, Ford or GM is not a clunker in my book.

[hondaman072]

hell frickin yeah.

[dustmagejr]

and the guy in the passenger seat doesnt even have his seat belt on! lol!

[raineyj]

@dustmagejr no needfor seatbelts. we were just doin donuts

[jawbreaker480]

OBAMA SHOULD BE SENDING THOSE CARS BACK TO AFRICA INSTEAD OF DESTROYING THEM

[raineyj]

@jawbreaker480 back to africa?

[jawbreaker480]

@raineyj

well yeah, mostly all the poor people live over there, and theres alot of people who need cars in africa

[maiden34]

@jawbreaker480

but he said BACK to africa, that doesn't even make sense.

[raineyj]

@maiden34 exactly. Like I had a choice anyways

[zoomeristen]

American's are nut's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raineyj]

@zoomeristen maybe so, its fun though

[nathenjdm10]

not a bad driver

[JDMGTP]

dude, that was a nice formula, WTF!!!!

[dohntae]

dang bro

[wizard101emily]

ugh fucking whatevers

[bsmack66]

I'm no fan of Trans Ams, but this is sick. The dealer should have paid the owner $4500 for the car. I am sure they could have resold it for much more. On a side note, where I live, I don't see anymore Explorers. But I still see a lot of old Grand Cherokees. The trucks ain't s**t when it comes to maintenance (I had one). But people still didn't part with them.

[pspgamer90]

What a beautiful fucking car destroyed for no reason because of the idiot running our country and the idiot who owned the car.

[clank4001]

good drift, hahaha

[h8ascooter]

obama should be shot

[superflymutha]

the US cant build cars... R.I.P

[ganja4twee]

@superflymutha the us built a beautiful car bruh

[broncoxl302]

what a shame i would never have done that if i owned that car. fuck cash for clunkers
