    I guess it depends on the location. I know I pass several dealerships on my way home every day that are down to fewer than 10-15 cars on their lot whereas they used to have a 100 or more. But maybe all those are being closed? I dunno...

    Question

    More clunker tid-bits for ya...
    Our Government at work:
    Subject: Clunker math...



    I guess I must be on the wrong page on this "clunker" stuff...

    A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.

    So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that's 224 million gallons per year.

    That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil…
    5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption. And 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $75 per bbl.

    So, we all just spent $3 billion...to save $350 million.

    Hmmmmmmmmm. How good a deal was that?
    But, I'm thinking that they’ll probably do a great job with health care, though!

    and if GM had to file bankruptcy , where did they get the money to expand their manufacturing plant in China ???

    A moment of silence for the lost vx's................................







































    And maybe a moment for the other sweet cars like the GNX and Aston martin and the vette's and 300zx's and etc.....




















































    What the hell were people thinking?! They could've gotten alot more for these vehicles on trade in or selling private party. Lets hope those vx's at least get completely parted out instead of just scrapped. And lets hope, for their sake, we never run into the owner's who cashed them in!


    I blame hippies. I'm all for conservation but come on people. Let's put down the bong and think this through.
