WESTFALIA CASH FOR CLUNKERS PART 2 of 2 GEORGE4TITLE JEFF THE CANUCK

A Volkswagen Westfalia is not a clunker, it's a BOV and useful. Was this vehicle causing a Carbon Footprint, so enormous, as to put a chemical in the 1.9 Waterboxer engine, and Kill it?
The carbon released to recycle it, is far greater than it was producing. Not only that, small businesses
specialize, in restoring these campers. GoWesty dot com. VanCafe dot com, and many others.
How is this a green program? How much carbon is released to melt it down in China?

Although I agree that the Cash 4 Clunkers program had a lot of flaws, and the junkyard owners who allow body damage to be done are stupid, the vehicles that the owners bought via the program use less gas than their older ones. So, complain all you want about the program, but don't deny there were some benefits.

@pentiuman -Oh yeah, 3 out of 10 vehicles purchased where made in North America.

My family in Detroit is greatful. My cousin bought a pizza and a 6-pak.

There was great footage of that 2000 Mazda MPV family van that was like new, but our computers used a different format.

We had to film the Westfalia off a laptop.

That's why it's so grainy in this video.

You have to wing-it sometimes.

I know ya feel, if I saw a scout getting crushed, I'd be livid.

PISSED OFF.... And there are people out there that want this same Gov to run your healthcare????? I can see the program in a few year, you can trade in an old, broken down family member for a tax credit. They will call it something Trendy like "Cash for Codgers" or "Go Eternally Green for the Gov (GGG for Short)". "Save the Healthcare that they will waste on you, for the rest of your family". Sounds Great, Ay?

I get too angry at the thought of how much WASTE this stupid corrupt program created. Ill-conceived, poorly executed, the lowest of intellectual thought and common sense involved. Thank you, Federal Government. I guess this is the more nuanced approach to problem solving. Its change, that's for sure.

Such a waste, why is our country so wasteful? Yes, there are people that could benefit from one of these vehicles. The way new housing is popping up everywhere, stripping out land, running out our wildlife & beneficial elements, etc when there are good decent existing homes on the market is beyond me too. No wonder our country is in a recession!

The whole cash for clunkers scam was also to remove repairable vehicles from the road. It was a plan to make all cars EMP destroyable. its about completely disabling the American citizens. All things that Hitler and the Nazis did was an abomination to the Jews, and now all things done to Americans are abominations to the richeous.
