  • Borrow HUGE sums of Money from China, Buy cars from Japan; Yep that'll help stimulate america's economy... So Solly America! Discuss THAT in your "Class".

  • Damn, was a nice vehicle. ohh well

  • thatg is far from a clunker

  • ford for ya...

  • how sad... and what a waste...

  • FUCK OBAMA, THE GOVERNMENT, AND EVERY FUCKIN DEALERSHIP THAT TOOK PART IN THE C4C!!!! THOUSANDS OF PERFECTLY GOOD CARS WHERE DESTROYED FOR NO FUCKING REASON OTHER THEN THE RICH SCUM WANTED MORE MONEY. FUCK THEM ALL!!!!! i drive a 91 oldsmobile. and will keep it till the day i die!

  • ok i have a question.

    why do they seize the engines? aren't they going to crush them anyways?

    FUCK YOU CASH FOR CLUNKERS!!!

  • I think its because they want bring the chance to zero of the vehicles ever making it onto the road again - whatever way that maybe. In Germany they found out that the cash for clinkers cars there were secretly exported - literally cash for clunkers. The whole thing seems rather political anyhow... I hate to see waste.

  • There's poor people out there who actually need cars like this nice red Lincoln that these jackass dealers destroyed. Cars that still have a sufficient amount of life left in them should be fixed and retrofitted with E-85 Flex Fuel conversion kits. Those cars that have a severely damaged body, are the ones that need to be crushed and recycled.  I dropped the catalytic converters and retrofitted my 1995 Ford Thunderbird's 4.6L OHC V8 engine to run on E-85. My car has never been so powerful.

  • see now this is a clunker coz the car die fast it tell's u some thing that car need to die but i have seen some video where it take about 20 mins for a car to die so what that means is that the car could have been used

  • Absolute waste. Worst program ever.

  • Both decent and greedy Democrats support C4C. The decent are ignorant of the Broken Window Fallacy:

    watch?v=UPmo2e-bAMQ

    Greedy ones are the direct beneficiaries of this government handout: Car buyers who didn't want to work for that extra $4500 & lazy union thugs and greedy parts guys who want tax dollars to subsidize their business.

  • One thing about human nature in general: We love being served by others, but tire quickly of serving in return. The beauty of a free market is how it inspires us to serve others to extraordinary degrees, just so that we may be served in return. Jefferson called it "pursuit of happiness". A gerund (verb). Government corrupts this working order by offering alternatives: Empower politicians as hired thugs to steal earned income of others and? give it to you in some way. It's the root of all evil.

  • C4C: Smart Politics. If Congress taxes you $500 to create auto jobs, the victims are invisible and are only revealed by asking what you would have done with the $500 if left in your hands. Your own spending would have created jobs too but you can't point to who the beneficiaries would have been. They're invisible. Politicians love making victims of their policies invisible & beneficiaries visible because the beneficiaries will know who to vote for and victims won't know who to blame.

  • C4C Dumb Economics: Any so-called stimulus program is a ruse. Government increases its spending only by reducing private spending equivalently. Whether government finances its added spending by hiking taxes, borrowing, or by inflating the currency, the added spending will be offset by reduced private spending. Plus, private spending's much more efficient than government spending replacing it because people act more carefully spending their own money than spending other people's money.

  • FDR's Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, wrote in his diary: We've tried spending. We're spending more than we have ever spent before and it doesn't work. We have never made good on our promises. After eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started and an enormous debt to boot!

  • Thats just sad right there.

  • What a huge waste

  • I do this were i work and almost made 1 catch on fire today.

  • It is interesting, though, how much controversy was stirred up with this program. A good point to discuss in class... Without name calling. :O)

  • @CalifPrincess hey asshole obama is ine stupid mother fucker some of this cars got good gas milage to wast a good car thats so fucking stupid

  • "I don't give a rat's ass if your husband works for a CHEVY dealer."

    LOL I guess you're offering to pay for my husband's unemployment and health insurance if his CHEVY dealership gets closed??? We pay THOUSANDS of dollars (and I'm not exaggerating ) in taxes every month that the government WOULD NOT be getting if my husband wasn't working...like 12% of Californians right now.

    So maybe you could go to college, get an education, and change policy. That's more helpful then name calling

  • I love any post that starts with "You are truly an idiot." LOL Spoken like a true scholar! :O)

    As a Political Science major in college I'm interested in others theories, and, of course, broadening my knowledge...but, as they say, we are here on the front lines, in southern California, (one of the worst hit states with not only house foreclosures, but unemployment also) and I've seen so many dealerships doors completely closing putting everyone out of work and on to unemployment.

  • yes because everyone wants a 4 banger in their town car. don't the presidents and all his little white hosue people use town cars?

  • LOL My husband works for a CHEVY Dealer!!!!!!!!! Where do you guys get the import idea??? Speaking for only this CHEVY dealer (since that's what I know about) the Cash 4 Clunkers program has brought in a lot of customers who bought a lot of new AMERICAN cars. People who work for new car dealers have been hit very hard in this crapy economy (especially in California). So anything that brings in business, keeps the dealerships open and AMERICANS actually working, is a good idea.

  • My parents own 2 Ford products a 92 Lincoln Towncar similar to this being destroyed and a 97 Mercury Gran Marquis... both have the 4.6 engines NEVER a issue with either car. BOTH have been flawless and STILL run absolutely perfect so take your rice burners and take them back to China. CASH FOR CLUNKERS SUCKS... WHAT A STUPID PROGRAM!

  • i agree. except im a chevy man, well at least PRE-GOVERNMENT MOTORS. everything i own was made before the government takeover of GM. i have a 1989 chevy camaro with a 350 tbi swap. it has 175K on the odometer. the original engine was a 305 and had 173K on it, still ran good. in fact i sold the old engine. i also have a 91 cavalier that has been nearly issue free. 145K on that one. they really dont make them like the used to. doesnt matter what brand, they all were good back then

  • This cash for clunkers is such a stupid program just think how many people would love to have this old Lincoln? Now these people will be driving some piece of shit plastic Jap car that will NEVER give the reliability that old Lincoln gave them. I just can't believe our government came up with such a SHIT program. Now... they want to control our health care? Whats this tell you? Rest in Peace Lincoln you served well.

  • Yeah old "reliable" Lincoln. Riiiggght. It was made by Found On Road Dead. After owning quite a few, it was time for a change. A car built in the far off oriental land of.....Indiana. Subaru. Six years and very little trouble.

  • What a fucking waste this program is! That was a perfectly good working Lincoln! Hope the buyers bought Japanese so the UAW can rot in hell with Obama!

  • Its people like you, buying Japanese that are destroying our economy, GM, Ford, and Chrysler helped make our country what it is today. Buy American people, its the right thing to do and with GM and Ford's new lineups I guarantee you will not be disappointed

  • I used to believe in buying American. After that last car suffered it's second China Syndrome, the big 3 will never see me again.

  • You sir have no idea what you are talking about. Lets take Honda Motors of America into consideration. They have MANY auto manufacturing plants in America. In fact one plant in Ohio produces the largest Honda auto engine plant in the world... Who works there? Americans. Now Chevy for example, outsources products to Mexico and other countries which hire.... yup non-Ameircans. Sorry but dont blame Japanese companies that hire just as many Americans as American car comps.
