  • Anyone who was credit worthy then simply dragged in their Kid's crappy car, which was registered in the parents name anyways. They got a new car and then bought their kids a replacement vehicle with the $4000. CFC is a societal embarrassment only dumb liberals could think up. used car prices skyrocketed and stayed there. The poor were effected the most who rely on $500 cars to get them to their minimum wage job.  Too bad, you voted Obama, but some professor has a new Prius at your expense.

  • The... ahem... once again the ...wonder and glory... of the car industry. Less you have to drive and the less you spend on these the better. Go play some video games all day, it's better for you and your family. Cars becoming a novelty item only for the ultra rich exclusively... novelty car brands for richies popping up all over

  • people have jobs have no car

  • Your a moron a customer would have to purshase a new car so a trade that has been on the lot coudnt be used cause that customer would have to buy again which is not likley your a moron you cant argue with stupid

  • My 1985 Buick Le Sabre looks great runs like a top. True it is old and slow and isn't the best on fuel economy, but it is far more stylish, durable and sound than new tin can rolling of the dealer lots today. Let the sheeple go ahead and crush all these old cars, it will just make mine worth that much more money! :-)

  • so here we are over a year later and the economy is doing great!! everyone has a new car, a great job, a house they own and everyone is happy!! thank you Obama you have saved the US with this program, we acan all sleep better knowing you have america's best interest in mind with programs like these

  • @Obsoliit

    are you serious? the economy has gotten worse, due to c4c, but also due to all the wars, and many other things. WAKE UP!!!

  • @zackthegoth I THINK he was being sarcastic. One would hope people really aren't that gullible.

  • excellent these people are so smart.... you gotta look at these thing today from the point of view who benifits.... same sec fda usda enjoy

  • Who could have foretold that the Anti-Christ would have been a black president of the United States of America.

    Think about it .This program is the tip of the iceberg , He's getting the Vaseline jar out of the medicine cabinet -- get ready to spread those cheeks.

  • @millwrightman99

    welcome to the first stages of communism, driving the same cars. what's next?, where the same clothes?(as government takes and burns all old clothes)

  • wow i never thought about that,, nice observation man very enlightening !!

  • Many,many nice good running cars were destroyed thanks to this.

  • It's funny what qualifies a clunker. Irresponsible people fucking up once good cars and are now called clunkers, because they can't take care of them.

    Now you're giving the people a discount for another car to fuck up? Smart!

    Take care of your car and it will retain it's value and the "30 mpg" claim from the factory.

  • @CantorNikolaos Most are stupid, some see this for what it really is. 

  • Obama is a stupid douche!!!! I WOULD DRIVE MOST OF THESE CARS!!! YOU BASTARD OBAMA YOU!!!!

  • obumba sucks fuckin spook canadians rule the planet

  • obumba sucks fuckin spook

  • FUCK OFF GOVERMENT!!! ohhhh nobody has jobs well LOOK if you take away used cars brake shops die, muffler shops die, oil change shops die, all the places that service used cars are now dead. where are those people now.....FUCKING HYPOCRITES!!!!

  • you bet they junkedem..i went to the local picknpull man that place was fulla nice cars and yes it still hurts the enviroment..but i got some good stuff...fyi..push rod engines will never be as effecient as over head cams and most import motors are hemis..

  • Why do the engines of these cars have to be destroyed??

    .

    usually the cars are fuel inefficient because the chassis too heavy - rather than the engines bad.

  • Damn sad...

  • THIS GUY IS FULL OF CRAP! Check your facts!!!

  • You're full of crap. An '86 Lincoln with a good running 302 (3.2 litre) with the O?D tranny will get better than 25 MPG>

  • Very astute of George he called it right it is a plan to ease the losses on dealers lots and not to get high mileage cars off the streets .

    5******

  • Cash For Clunkers Is A Chinese Program Not A Usa Program .

  • whats to stop the dealership from changing the trade in date? easy its called the department of motor vehicles when a dealer takes a car on trade in it gets regierstered to that dealer until someone buys it .its includes date mileage and so on and so forth one of the other prerequirements for the program was that you had to own the vehicle for a year in order for it to count

  • praise the Lord n pass the ammo...the times they are a changin'

  • F the CFC program and the stupid people trading in the really nice cars into it

  • No only 120 days

  • This guy knows nothing about the program, the vehicles had to be titled and insured for at least one year. Also the fuel economy is set up by the government (e.p.a.) not the manufacturer. Could go on and on with the flaws in this. but it was a horrible program that was a waste of good vehicles and good tax payer dollars that could have been spent elsewhere

  • @jgc830206 not the government sets the e.p.a but to find out if a car qualifes they base it off the manufacturers estimates regardless of car health

  • Everything Obama touches turns to shit

  • please dont touch health care, please dont touch health care.

  • @jackinla8 Instead of the Midas touch he has the feces touch LOL

  • impeach hell......have a recount!!

  • Impeach onama

  • Way to help out gm and ford.most the cars bought were jap cars.

  • @cobraman96 Yeah that was the stupidest part of the whole program! The Japanese auto market is already kicking our ass. Lets help em kick our balls. Thanks Adolf Obama, you dumb sonofabitch.

  • @cobraman96 i agree jap cars are shit they may be fule effecient but they wont last longer than 10 years before the frame rusts out

  • In times like this why would u want to make PAYMENTS! on a car U

    can't afford pay cash & BUY IT! or just buy A nice K&N filter change

    your oil?.I save so much money not buying a new car & you can too:)

    Remember the END TIMES are here stock up on food & Water the storm

    is comming!!!

  • People think Obama is giving them a free car. They will probably make a law where you can't drive a vehicle that is older than a certain age. The storm is coming and you're right on! The days of owning a home and finding an 8 to 5 job are going going gone, but people care more about football than they do their future.

  • @jmkpns so what if people cared about what was happening, it is not going to change much, what do you want ? rebel? riots ? we are the government, people are idiots because they chose the leaders that are idiots as well

  • @guitar6029 I said nothing about riots, we just need a more informed electorate that know about the candidates and not just know their names. This has nothing to do with rebel or riots. Next you'll probably call me a conspiracy theorist.

  • What cheaper a car payment? or spark plugs?

  • Are you aware that the government has required and they are now in all new vehicles. Tracking devices! That's right! There is a video on youtube showing this unit by an engineer. So if you tie this in with cash for clunkes, you will see that they want all the untrackable cars off the road. It's just one step away from being able to shut your engine down via satalite at the governments will.

  • I spoke to my contact at the illuminati who confirmed that you are correct. He was telling me more till he shapeshifted into a frog and shit himself

  • Mate, the US government will get most or all of the C4C rebate back in the taxes on the sale...

  • OBAMA = Token Tom for the Rothchild Cartel

  • OMG 3 car dealers have committed suicide recently who are owed money, from this scam of a program, by the government. One in our city today. He left a note talking about financial problems. He was on the news a couple months ago because they still owed him $300,000 and it was financially destroying him and his family. Never a good reason to commit suicide but just an example of some of the aftermath of this program

  • i believe the poor gentlemen had more problems than money problems...may God bless and take care of him like was obviously NOT taken care hear on earth..GOD bless us all!!!

  • cars from the 90's were genuinly better quality than those today. just like music, movies. a car from the 90's could be rare by the year 2015 which would make the ones in great condition considerably valuable. a great idea is to buy some of them up and keep them in storage.

  • What Im saying is that this guy George is saying that dealers can use there own old invitory cash for clunkers. That is not true. Do you get it

  • this guy doesn't know a damn thing about cash for clunkers. your trade-in has to be in owners name for at least a year and you have to prove insurance for a year. so do your homework before you post another video IDIOTT!!!

  • DITTO!!

  • I laught how idiots took the bait for the cash for clunkers. Anyone who buys a new car is a total moron. One of my friends put a $7,000 down payment on a new car. I told him hes such a moron and he should of bought $7,000 worth of gold or silver. He laughed at me like I was some kind of idiot. Since then gold is up like 8% and his new car has dropped 20% right out of the lot. He doesnt get it that his 7k could of turned into 30k cold hard cash within a few years. I dont feel bad for anyone.

  • Why are people trusting politicians and car salesmen?

  • why dont u shut the fuck up su socialist liberal jerk

  • I didn't read past this comment, so maybe you are talking about a previous commenter. I just wanted some clarification on who you are calling a "socialist liberal jerk"? I assume you are talking about the man in the video?

  • I was the one who was called a socialist liberal jerk, LOL. He did not justify his position, he was just name calling, and does not even know the definition of 2 of the 3 words he used.

  • What's the thesis of your argument? You just name call and that's supposed to mean something? You're just making George look better.

  • Whoever the guy is talking is severely misinformed. Or just banging his own drum and jumping to conclusions off of his assumptions and "credible" emails that could well be fabricated.

    Read some of the clauses that the dealers have to follow, even dealers with the best litigation attourneys would not DARE try and screw the gov't over when this boosted their sales higher than anyone could have anticipated.

  • they tradin their cars tax payers pay the difference, The good used cars get scraped, used car inventory gets low, prices get higher, taxes get higher, inflation sets in, auto industry gets bailed out again, Obama gets paid off, and were all fucked!

  • oh but what about all the poor people u stupid fucking liberls wanna help out? wouldnt these cars do well for them?...hum guess ur pres diddnt think about that

  • So having a piece of crap that is barely moving is a benefit. Most of the shit that got traded in cost alot of money in repairs, and gas.

  • After watching other youtube videos here...i'd say about 90% of the cars were perfectly good ones.

    What I saw was waste of a good vehicle.

  • LMAO, so your only going off of youtube videos?

  • LOL! C4C was a stupid program to begin with. My tax money was going to someone else to get into debt for a new car during a bad economy.

    Then on top of that, there are hundreds of thousands of perfectly good used cars taken off the road and sent to the scrap yards, taking used cars out of the cycle so poorer people can purchase them.

    So when you see good cars like a 1990's BMW getting it's engine seized...you know something is up with this stupid program. Dig???

  • Some folks will benefit (until next tax day) from getting rid of used junk for a new car. But look at this. Tax payer funded "rebate" which will be taxed again, new car payment, higher insurance rate on new car, higher State, and County taxes on new car, and in many cases a perfectly good used vehicle reduced to scrap. Useless that is to anyone other than the Chinese Scrap merchants... This is a travesty!!

  • so long as the goverment doesnt come take my guns,my truck or the wife,children and dog I beat down when I drink some JACK and they wont shut up when I am watching the Glenn Beck Show or killing animals sitting on my easy-boy lounger I have on my porch!!( I got 2 more in my trailer(double-wide)lyxury model..BOY thats living good boy!!

  • is this thing over with yeah i think your right cause iv seen cars sitting at the dealerships for over 6 months and now there gone fucking rip off

  • are you serious? that is all it took to convince you? a car gets sold.......therefore this guy is right about everything he said?

  • THE VEHICLE THAT IS TO BE TRADED IN HAS TO HAVE BEEN OWNED BY THE SAME PERSON (person trading the car in) FOR A CONTINUOUS YEAR. It also MUST RUN and DRIVE. The dealership's CANNOT use your stupid ass idea to their advantage. It is against the rules of the program which is enforced by the government. Nice try. Maybe you should remove your head from your ass before you make another video. Why dont you post a link from the CARS site about how this apparent scheme would work under the guidelines.

  • obama is being played like a fiddle. i thought the cash for clunkers was a good way to get electric convertable, and other, off the road. Electric works that well people. i think these other scams are just periferal damage. go electric, go hydrogen (it worked 20 years ago people)and bottle the water. lol

  • Dude your full of CRAP!!! If you seen what we had to do for "John Q Public" to get this deal from the Gov.,,, you would know your facts! We spent 5 days and NIGHTS scanning Doc. so we could get paid on this deal. The cars had to be insured for the past year,,reg. to the owner for the past year,,letters from the Ins. Companys ETC.. IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE MY BLOOD BOIL IN THIS BUSINESS! YOU DON'T KNOW SHI.!

  • i dont understand how the dealer would be able to trade a trade in for money they would what buy a car i dont think like a dealer so how are they doing it video is over my head can you explain how they do it step by step

  • Explain to me how I am Al Gores 'carbon slave"? Yes I recently bought a new car. This car gets 40+ mpg, its low emissions and just a down right awesome car. I love it! I bought this car because I got a job that unfortunately doesn't fall under the metro system. I didn't rush to buy a new car solely because of CFC. But somehow because I'm driving a car that's better for the environment than my previous 12mpg car I'm falling into their trap? Al gore got me!? Is that honestly what you believe?

  • @ the slave 'Halleth'

    Please can you enlighten me on why I am not trying to save the earth.

    This time can you please reply to my points, fending of your immature and big headed ego comments is starting to get tiresome.

  • Back in the 40's, 50's, 60's and part of the 70's auto makers would make a different looking car each and every year. But with todays technology they make one car for up to 12 years. It just seems like if they could come up with a different design every year then, they should be able to do it very easily today. Or at least don't run them for so long. Body changes are too slow in the market today.

  • Lets all smash our windows out to stimulate the glass industry.

  • You just saying that becouse Obama is Black. If president Bush did these it would be the best idea in the world

  • ....and he pulls out the race card

  • masterlee that is

  • you have been out in the sun too long drinking that swamp water..... the customers have to sign off on the deal and the dealers dont keep the money...... just b/c you dont like the program doesn't mean you have to lie about how it has worked... get a clue bro....

  • looknow that we are the stupid level, bozo, if you don't want the money... stay off the air yourself! thet are bushcars.

  • I dislike the C4C program, but this guy is an idiot. Have you talked to any dealers who are actaully getting their money back out of this program?

    Dealers who would normally be turning around their used car inventory AREN"T ALLOWED TO SELL THESE TRADES. they have to pay the svc dept to kill the car and sit there with it waiting for their reimbursment from the govt. The dealers are getting screwed, not taking advantage....

  • You're right, they could make money off used cars but that wasn't the deal. The dealer knew the rules when they started. There are procedures and there is checks and balances and it will take time. Some deals will not be paid because they didn't follow procedure. Who would buy a CLUNKER? Have you looked at some of these cars people brought in? There are some good, but mostly bad. In my job I work with many different dealership and yes I talk to them everyday.

  • "There are procedures and there is checks and balances and it will take time." All of which the Far left is treating simply as unimportant suggestions. They are treating the Constitution like toilet paper. Government Now Owning Both GM and Chrysler, Illegal and Unconstitutional. Obama Firing a CEO of a Privately owned company, both Illegal and Unconstitutional.

  • Cash for refridgerators is next. Then cash for your furniture, then cash for toasters, then cash for ? Guess who is paying for all of this. YOU! This is all to get Americans more in debt that they already are. They can't keep this whole charade going unless you keep buying sh#*t. The economy is tanking, umeployment is over 16%, banks are failng, the FDIC is running out of money. 34 million on food stamps and they want you to keep feeding the machine. We are about to run out of road. HANG ON!

  • Does that mean you have to buy a refridgerator? YOU have being for this stuff since people and companies have being filing bankruptcy for years and years. This could have been pervented 5 years ago but nothing was done then. THANKS BUSH

  • This is the crappiest programs the USA and UK government.

    All the energy that created these cars is being wasted, how does that save the environment.

  • It doesn't. It also creates more of a debt load for people. The average person can't buy a car with cash and needs to finance it. This program is stupid.

  • Therhythmicmenace, it helps because all those cars are high emissions gas guzzling machines. Keeping them on the roads will burn through our fossil fuel supply faster and put more Co2 in the atmosphere. In the long term its better to get them off the road where they're doing the most damage to the environment.

  • Get a grip of your self, grow up, educate your self and de-program your stupid mind, that is the worst comment I have seen all week. Why don't we stop all the wars, thats burning off a ton of fossil fuel.

    Stop air travel

    and stop firing off rockets into space (which is the worst polluter of anything)

    ALL THE ENERGY THAT CREATED THE 'CLUNKERS' IS NOW BEING WASTED AND MORE ENERGY IS BEING WASTED TO MAKE NEW CARS TO PUT PEOPLE INTO MORE DEBT

    FOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well guy, I'm sorry you're too retarded to wrap your mind around anything else. I don't know how you can think keeping cars on the road that are proven bad for the environment is far better than replacing them with ones that are better for the earth. But ok you're right. How dare we take any sort of preventative action. What are we stupid? Psssshhhh f*ck the earth. Amiright? I'm not saying stop things like air travel, but if we can become more efficient then we should. Idiot.

  • I think your on the wrong channel pal. You must be looking for the 'I love making Al Gore rich and paying carbon taxes to him because I am a carbon slave'

    You do realise carbon taxes will be a futures market and therefore at risk of interference by the banksters and turned into exotic financial instruments and will be the next financial bubble.

    Remember this in five years time when your carbon credits run out as you take your last legal breath.

  • Peter Schiff himself said the last thing people should be doing is getting themselves into more debt and they should keep running their cars until they fall apart' (para-phrased)

    You will that this is a pro Peter Schiff channel and most of the comments here are against the scheme and I don't think they are 'idiots' or 'Retarded'

    Why do NWO slaves always have to resort to name calling?

  • I think we can conclude you are the 'Retarded Idiot'

    or what the elites like to call 'usefull idiots'.

  • LOL you're so dumb. I'm not gonna argue with you. Not because you're right but because you really are an absolute moron. My god I can't stop laughing at how crazy you are. Tell me again how you're trying to save the earth? Oh wait you aren't. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL God you're too funny. Keep on keeping on Mr.Conspiracy Theorist ( '-')b

  • Like I said you can't retort with stuping to name calling. Your reply here has not one logical or intelligent word in it, but no doubt you want the last word.  So this time do you think you can actaully arrange a viable argument in your little slave mind.

    BRING IT ON!

  • And no I don't want to F**** tyhe earth.  I don't see why the west have to pay carbon taxes when China and India are not going to stop their emmisions so it will make no difference

    Why does Al Gore and Carbon slaves like you talk about nuclear testing, deforestation, chemtrails, toxic dumping in south america and africa and when the africans try to stop it they get accused of being pirates.

    And can you try and respond without swearing this time you rude barbarian!!

  • walkerscranger

    TAKE SOME MIDOL....chill out...calm down....

    You do not live where I live...you have ZERO clue to what was bought by whom...

    again Midol helps

  • True... I don't know where you live, but a McDonald's is everywhere just like people are everywhere. I'm sure there are thousands of rich people where you live and they traded in a CLUNKER to get a deal of $3500 or $4500 to purchase a fuel efficient vehicle. Maybe you should ask your friend if she dealt with every customer that can in the dealership. The CLUNKER had to be in their name for at least a year and insured. It doesn't matter where you live, the rules are the same.

  • my friend works at a dealership..She told me the only people that took advantage were rich people, they would buy tyheir servants old clunker for next to nothing( fresh ink on the newly printed titles) and then pay cash for their newest vehicle either for themselves or to give to kids, or grand kids/

    More EYEWASH and FRAUD...what America loves loves loves.. in their tv, politicians, and cardealers

  • So rich people bought Honda Civic's, Ford Focus's, etc. The people who bought cars were average Americans like me and you. They chose to participant in this program. People are so stupid to think that only rich people participated. I guess the average American is rich. The average income in America is about $28,500... wow thats rich. You're upset because you couldn't buy one because you screwed up your credit or you just couldn't afford a new car. Get over it!

  • Fuck the goverment and nobama 4 life all that Obama Husain did was fuck our economey get a life obama

  • solve the world ...buy a dodge dart !!!!!

  • Dodge Dart!!!!!! LOL 318 V-8 or Slant Six!!!

  • this guy is an idiot. changing the dates? come on dude. insteadof using your timeto talk about your lame conspiracy theories why notspend the time more wisely and lose some weight and get a decent haircut you goof. and stop shopping kmart for sunglasses.

  • He is a tool saying that that the engines, trannsmissions and drivetrains are garbage?! You can buy that stuff still at the wreckers!

  • The motors are destroyed at the dealer. They pour a solution into the engine that mixes with the oil and seizes the motors. The most valuable part of the car is wrecked

  • This guy is an idiot. The biggest "rule" is the titled owner has to have had the car INSURED and REGISTERED for at least one year prior. Dealer's cant take a trade in from last week and title it and trade it for $4500.

    Moron's like this guy should think and read before they speak,

  • That is absolutely correct. The car MUST be insured and registered to the trading owner for over a year!!! Dealerships can't change the date numbers dumbass!!! Those are state recordS!!!

  • Who in the federal government actually verifies the state ownership records? What is their job title and how can I contact that department? How is that dept funded? Most likely NOBODY checks the records. xYou people act like a government program has never been scammed before. Dumb people do it everyday with unemployment and WIC. This time we're up against expert criminals. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

  • Dealerships would have no reason to do such a thing. People would only trade in their cars as a clunker if the trade-in value is less than the $3500-4500 they get through CARS. That would mean the dealership loses money by scrapping trade-ins, because in all likelihood they're all worth more than $4500. On top of that, they need to wait for the money to come from the government-- at least they have a chance at getting more money faster by selling it.

  • I have my doubts any of this is true. In order for car dealers to steal millions wouldn't they first need to be paid? On average auto dealerships have received only 2% of what they are owed by the Obama administration due to poor management. Another failed government program. Run a national health care system? I don't think so!

  • WOW, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!

  • why they call it cash for clunkers ... call it what it really is CASH FOR DEMOCRAT PET VOTER BLOCK THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS .. using more of our tax dollars to pamper union labor

  • Well said.

  • You cant change the dates on contracts and on 262's. do your research

  • Another Obama failed program. Thousands of dealerships now waiting for their money now have to borrow from their car manufactures to cover their bills until they get paid. And you want the government to run health care.

  • JOE... If the dealers read how the program pays out they would have known it would take time. Its checks and balance. If a vehicle does not meet the specifications of the program then they will not get paid. Thats why they were told to be very careful when making the CARS deal. Make sure they had INSURANCE and REGISTRATION for at least one year. The fuel mileage when the used car was new compared to the new car they were buying. That would be irresonsible to just pay dealers without checking.

  • dude you are right i was just at the junk yard and noticed that some of the so called clunkers had the inventory stickers and the sold as is tag still in the windows !!! holy fuck it has been exposed I will make some more vids of them if you want i have a few posted now check them out !!! FUCK YOU OBOMANATION !!

  • George should kill himself...

  • GEORGE!!!!!!SHUT DUH HELL UP!!!!!GET A REAL JOB or rrr uuu paid by ????DUH>>DUH>>>DUUUHHHHH!!!???

  • This video is complete and utter nonsense! I work as a salesperson for a Toyota dealership and am very familiar with the rules and regulations for this program. People have to prove they have OWNED, REGISTERED and INSURED their clunkers for a period of at least ONE FULL YEAR! George is either ignorant of the facts or intentionally misleading. George, get your facts straight!

  • SO you are one of them ?

  • >> DAMN! this means its gonna be much harder to buy a used car from a dealership and its the best that i can go cuz i dont have enough for a new one nor the credit!! DAMN IT ALL! and much more harder to fix my late model cars cuz the dealerships wont have anymore parts and ill be forced to get a new one in the end! >> all i gots left now is to turn to small town car lots but even those are disappearing now as we speak!

  • So basicly this is in essence a bail out for dealers..Great..And i wonder who is buying up the steel when there crushed..probably china..We are all fucked..

  • This is a disgusting and IMMORAL program paid for with your tax money.

    There is no reason to destroy a reliable working car. How many needy people do you know that could use reliable transportation to drive to a better job? How many students could use a reliable car to go to school? How many people are driving unsafe cars because they can not afford to replace them with a new car?

    I hope that the creeps in Congress and the White House that came up with this disgusting program rot in hell.

  • You have to have owned the vehicle for over a year prior to trading. Vehicle registration is the proof. There is a stipulation that prevents even an individual from buying a car for 100 and going to trade it for 4500. This info is not accurate.

  • I was for the "Cars" proposal, thinking that it was only for the public to improve their MPG. This would also be an opprounity for people to think about hybrids. But, for the dealerships to take money from the program is just stupid. It defeats the purpose in my opinion. And if there is a clause in the bill allowing dealerships to do this, then that's just bad policy. The bill should be for the public, not for the businesses to recoup their losses or anything else.

  • My truck did qualify!....Thank You Obama!

  • Now you just took on more debt ... Thank You Obama!

  • Why thank Obama? It will be my children and everyone else's paying the debt.

  • What debt?....I'm just getting some of MY tax dollars back....I've paid in plenty in my life..should I get some back?..Not necessarily, but if a Fucking stadium can be bought with my money...then why shouldn't I get some of my own money back....If absolutely zero of my tax dollars being wasted on BS...I would feel different..

    Bottom line is, anyone who didn't cash in on the CARS program, is against it....and most of the responses have inaccuracies...Oh ya, tell your kids Uncle KingJ says Thanks!

  • Fuck Cash For Clunkers!

    I'm not rich but I'm against this, the govt. (BOTH administrations we've had) have been further bankrupting the country.

    These programs aren't free and the money has to be paid back.

    This is ALL money that will have to be paid back to the Federal Reserve, which is no more federal than Federal Express (it's privately owned by bankers FOR profit). If the Fed decided to call in all of this debt, EVERY American would be required to pay $40,000!

  • its class war, straight up, not being able to afford a hybrid is being treated like a crime

  • its true and its only going to get worse. the wealthy get more money and the poor struggle more. the only people still doing well are business owners who rip off there hardworking employees more and more eventually they will suck everyone dry and be the only ones left. America isn't free anymore

  • CASH FOR CLUNKERS IS BULLSHIT!!!

  • You people still don't get it do you. The depression is hurting less this time because we have real safty nets, and the only thing that got us out of the last depression was all the spending that was done in WW2. They are trying to do the same thing without the war part.

    How many people doing contract work in Iraq came from contracting companies in Texas? Find the answer to that and you'll have a better idea of how the world actually works.

  • You'll need to take a course in Economics for Dummy's.

    This depression will make anything before it look like a walk in Alice in Wonderland.

  • Nothing in life is free !! Just another scam on the part of the wealthy.

  • Have you ever seen a rich union worker? No because even though they pay more, they work less hours and pay union dues. The quality needs to be stepped up in American cars. You pay the same amount for the same size "import" for half the quality. Let take a look at the engine in cars today. Imports have better tolerances than American cars. I love American cars, I own 4 American cars and 2 imports. But look at the tolerances in a services manual. Import engines simply live longer.

  • This guy is a nothing but a valano72 with a brown dick. Such an authority on the flying ravioli god.

  • The "Cash 4 Clunkers" wasn't design for everyone thats why there was only 1billion dollars in the fund. The dealers can change the dates but the SSN can't be changed. The person buying the car will get a 1099 next year for the fund and will have to report it on their taxes. A lot of people are saying that it is a waste. The wars are a waste, we are spending money over there that you can't use or get back, but I guess that is ok.

  • Thats right... Americans are buying Japanese cars (which are built right here in the USA) because the are built to a smaller tolerance (better). Check a domestic car for proper hood, doors, hatch/trunk. Compare it to the same car sitting beside it on a new lot. They will be different. Japanese cars (they are not imported because they are built HERE) will have a 3mm gap from begining to end on every opening. GM, FORD and Chrysler just need to make better cars.

  • You are completely misguided. Japanese cars are simply assembled here, by non-union workers earning half domestic manf. pay, with no retirement. $0 profit goes to America. Yes, check the fit and the gauge of the metal, it is a FACT that Japn cars use lighter metal. You wanna question reliability? NEARLY ALL police cars, taxis, emergency vehicles, work vans, tow trucks, and tractors are reliable American vehicles. A ford tow truck will be towing your import soon lol!!

  • You are the misguided one. American cars are assembled here as well. Most of the parts for American cars are from all over the world (mostly China). I've been in automotive field for 30 years and I've seen tons of parts come in for your Ford tow truck with "MADE IN CHINA" on it. Alot of times the sticker is removed, but its still made in China. All cars have lighter metal, plastic fenders (check with GM) etc. The union is what helped kill GM. Canada makes a boat load of parts without the boat.

  • I completely agree, the union is what killed GM, and they should have gone bankrupt instead of becoming state run. Granted there are imports with great engine life, but to generealize American cars and say they are inferior is simply rediculous. Just think about the Ford V8's. There are more Town Cars and Crown Vic with astronomical mileage than ANY import, and they still look good to because they arent as suseptible to dents and corrosion.

  • had a gm car with 370000 miles on it and still running strong when i sold it. Agreed.

  • Either way, origin of parts, etc. has nothing to do with it. The fact remains that American vehicles are and have been of great quality, and their losses recently have nothing to do with build quality or even sales, as they have consistently outsold the imports. It all has to do with overhead costs (mainly union.pensions), which can be as much as ten times the cost of producing an import in some cases.

  • I deal with GM, Dodge, Chrysler, Nissan, Honda and Toyota every single day. And I'm here to tell you that the domestic market quality is so very poor. The parts are made in CHINA. The parts aren't made at the assembly plant because they only assemble there. If you need to tell yourself otherwise to make yourself feel good then be my guest. Look up the recalls on the Domestic cars vs Imported... it will blow your mind. Oh those Ford V8 that crack intakes and blow coolant thru the alternator. Nice

  • No, they aren't. And the Chinese part content is minuscule at best. Once again, you are missing the point. I don't care if every part was made in China, its where the profit goes that matters. Again, I will stress how many municipal and work vehicles are domestic, mostly Ford, operating reliably daily for hundreds of thousands of miles. The ford small blocks and modular v8's are considered 2b some of the best engines ever made, so your intake crack story must be something you saw in a dream

  • Go by a Ford dealership and ask them about there modular engines. I've replaced more than 200 intakes and alternators on your great 4.6 engine. And the great Explorer that killed because of the light of the SUV. Ford blame Firestone. Ford dropped the air pressure so it would not vibrate, but the exhaust ran beside the right rear tire that help cause the blow out. It was only the right rear that blew on all of the vehicles. Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota all used that same tire with no issues.

  • The 4.6 is bulletproof. Mustang racers build stock internal 4.6s to 800+ HP. Police cars and taxis put scores of miles on them, largely trouble free. As far as the tire problem, which really dates you, it was clearly the tire bc it didnt happen when when a different brand was on the truck. Explorers are rock solid, as are all Ford trucks, people love them, and 18 yr old trucks are still on the road. How about U go by a Jib site, and start spewing ur import nonsense, you'll be laughed away.

  • correction, Job site. How many 80's mustangs, town cars, F-series, work vans, heavy trucks, do you still see on the road bearing the Ford name? ALOT more than your imports. You can keep repeating stories about how you work in some shop and "ooohhh I worked on so many bad fords", etc. Your OPINIONS are not shared by the masses. Ford makes a great vehicle, and you know it. I dont have to go by a ford dealership, I work for one :)

  • i had a 95 thunder bird about 220 thousand miles, still ran great when i gave it away, 4.6 by the way. have a ranger all i do is change oil, had it for years.All i got to say though is Tempo.Everybody has to squeeze a tird out now and then.

  • Of course, and you and i both know that the import manufacturers have turned out more than a few as well. This Walkerscranger is so consumed with bias from some trumped up personal experiences at his shop that he has developed a hitler-like superiority complex about imports.

  • Yes it dates me and I know what I'm talking about. Police cars are out of service at 75,000. I know because I am an officer and secondly we have replace a lot of the 4.6 engines due to ring smoke. Many times in chases the rings can not seal. Not to mention the transmission failures. Stock internals will not survive 800+HP and manufacture can do that. Remember you can not produce more than 2 HP per square inch. Look it up.

  • Wrong again old man, look up Terminator Cobras, 4.6, forged internals FROM THE FACTORY (SORRY JAPAN) many 800+hp stcok internals. Again you are citing some trumped up personal examples when you fail to realize that it is obvious how reliable the motors and cars/trucks overall have been for the vast majority of their owners. BTW If your God-like imports didn't break, then I guess there would be alot of mechanics out of jobs, right? Stick to writing parkings tickets, maybe tokyo police is hiring.

  • You are defying the laws of physics. You can not produce 800 hp in a 4.6. Look it up and call an engineer. 281 cubic inches can not produce 2.8 hp per square inch. Most engines produce about .7 hp per square inch. Hi performance engines produce about 1.5 per square inch. The numbers you have are hopefully numbers that will not be achieved. Remember flywheel hp is different than true WBHP. Get your facts straight STILL WET BEHIND THE EARS.

  • Just get over the fact that you believe Ford is the GOD of all cars. People will buy what people want whether it is a Ford or a Nissan or a Chevrolet or a Toyota. It does not matter. All parts of all cars are made all over the world whether you believe it or not. You're pissed and you don't know why so you lash out. You don't like the truth so you build a defense mechanism that a certain car built in a certain country does not compare to American cars. Look around next time you're on the road.

  • If you actually read my comments, I NEVER said the other brands weren't good vehicles. I simply stated that Ford builds an exceptional product, which statistics support, and that your import sales' profits go DIRECTLY to the base country, REGARDLESS of part origin. Your brainwashed mind just keeps diverting from the facts. As far as your HP formulas, boy you must be new to youtube. Search around and your #'s will be disproven in seconds, even by some of your funny little imports :)
