So, I thought about doing the cash for clunkers.

Our family tried to get in on this.

1. Father has a sweet 99 Cressida that has started using oil. Value $2300 but unfortunately gets 19 mpg

2. Sister in law has a POS 01 Ranger. Value maybe $500. but it also was originally rated at 19 mpg.

3. Father has a 82 Town car. 140K all road trips. Too old.

This law was made with too many hoops. I read on one blog that the total national price of this law would be less than a million because most cars just would not qualify.

I so want to trade in my 03 Toyota Matrix for a new Camaro, but somehow I do not think this will get me anything in this deal! If I drive the Matrix hard enough I can average 18mpg and if I drive the Camaro slow enough, it will get 28..... come on Gov, work with me on this!
