I gave up my 94 Dodge Dakota for a new Kia. The Dodge felt like a friend and the Kia is still a car. the ole' Dodge was leaking all the fluids that it contained, however. It had to go.

The clunkers were destroyed to make environmentalists happy instead of being sold to low income people who value transportation more than extreme environmentalism.

Minivans are underpowered. Put an engine in that beast, and the mileage goes down. My Jeep gets 16, and I'm not planning to trade it in for something that won't haul fishing gear over rough roads and open meadows.

I know what you mean. I was gullible enough to have bought fuel efficient cars in the first place and so I'm shut out of this program.

They said some people had to return their cars because the goernment wouldn't give the companies the money!

That will probably hurt the car parts stores somewhat.

Agreed, and I hear some used car dealers took it on the chin because of the lack of trade-ins, people would rather qualify for the stimulus
