    Here's a point to look at then. If the government wanted to give you $4500 to just switch over to an "eco-mobile", then why don't they? Why do they have to destroy something to make it work? If the "old car" remained out in the world, what would happen? A)Someone else would buy it. B)It would go sit in a junkyard or someones backyard. C)The person would keep it and a son or daughter gets it one day. The thing that bothers me is that the government claims they want to get these cars off the roads, but at what price. It deletes an option for people with lower incomes to be able to afford to drive. You go ahead and tell me when the last time you saw an environmentally friendly vehicle comparable to any of these vehicles that would potentially be destroyed that can be had for the same price or less on the used market. Absolutely never. They don't make cheap hybrids or electric vehicles that work like the vehicles we currently own for a reasonable price. If they did, I'd do like we all should and gut their Eco powerplants and throw it in the VX!
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Well, all that money that you've saved isn't going to do you any good either if there's nowhere it can be spent. If a person really wants to look at the big picture, the almighty dollar/euro/Yen/etc. just has to be left out of the picture.

    Blasphemous concept to even think about in this day and age I realize, but isn't the fact that money always seems to be everyone's primary concern one of the main reasons we've ended up here in the first place?
