"I may be laughing with you as I dump my "2006 Ford F-150 for a new Porsche. I figure if someone was stupid enough to put this program in place . . . what the heck?" You have mentioned that several times. #1 You would receive a TOTAL trade of $4,500 for your '06 Ford and it would then be scrapped. If you think it's only worth $4,500 then go for it. #2 There is a list of cars that qualify, and I didn't see a Porsche on that list, though there are some pretty cool cars available. Other than that, your plan is great. Here are the rules in case you are interested: http://www.autotrader.com/cash-for-clunkers.jsp | ||

For the record, I have seen a credit score on Transunion for over 850, sadly not mine, however, 850 on the Transunion is not that exceptional. It is also very different from a FICO score. FICO does not go above 850 and is what most lenders use for a credit report. http://www.thesunsfinancialdiary.com/credit-report /transunion-vantagescore-credit-score-and-whats-di fferent-from-fico-score/ | ||

I'm a bit miffed. I'll now be paying for others to buy new cars when just months ago we traded a clunker, a '94 Ford Exploder, in for a 30+ mpg car. I think I should get in on the entitlement scam too and should get my $4,500. I'm certainly not happy that I'll be paying additional taxes to cover the cost of the CFC program. Who the heck came up with $4,500? I think that maybe $1,500 would have made more sense. | ||

Blake, have you not heard the Honda ads "Timing is everything" | ||

Just consider it a "cash apology" to the rest of the world for all the terrible things that the US has done. | ||

The original CFC plan had a restriction on domestically produced vehicles. | ||

"Just consider it a "cash apology" to the rest of the world for all the terrible things that the US has done." The Point I was trying to make is Tax Payer Money going Over Seas Helps the Economy of other Countries. That goes against what this country was built on. The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of The United States of America. We Should Not Be Taxed in any way by any other Countries other than The United States of America. | ||

I hear ya Patches. You may have missed my post on another thread... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/boar d-auth.cgi?lm=1249370235&file=/272911/484855.html I posted... We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Just sayin'... | ||

>>>The original CFC plan had a restriction on domestically produced vehicles. The one they just whisked away $1,000,000,000 with had NO SUCH provision. And . . . .by the way . . . never would. Europe is the country that will save GM. It's where they and Ford sell most their product. A protectionist clause in that silly bill, and they knew this, would spell the end of American car makers. | ||

"Europe is the country that will save GM. It's where they and Ford sell most their product." Why do you live in The United States of America? | ||

What Court states is 100% true. GM/Ford do better overseas than here. China is the fastest growing market and is currently the second largest behind the US. I recall GM holds something in the are of 53% of the market share there, and sales are up 77%. They love Buicks. | ||

>>> Why do you live in The United States of America? I love it here. I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, two years with The White House Advance Team and proud delegate to two political conventions as well as a precinct person for 20 years. I also (thank you Uncle Sam for the Pilot Training and College) hold a degree in Business and Economics with a minor in Labor Law and Legislation. (#1 in my class in Undergrad and from Graduate School at Columbia University) Let me ask you something. What do you think would happen to General Motors if they lost their overseas sales? Be mindful that EVEN WITH overseas sales when American domestic sales dipped General Motors (you know, the one that just went bankrupt and was artificially revived by imploring bondholders to take $0.29 on the dollar and putting in $43,000,000,000 of tax payer dollars) was on the ropes. If you are a frickin' flag waving All-American . . . write your Congressman and demand that General Motors not be allowed to ship product overseas. You'll hear them laughing all the way from Washington, DC. Be the way that >>> Why do you live in The United States of America? Is s stupid ••••••• question, not germane to the topic and makes you look like you don’t understand the discussion. You want to bad mouth me you’ll have to do much better. By the way . . . what branch of the service did you serve in? Court United States Marine Corps 1974 - 1980 P.S. - I volunteered while all around me were getting drafted. | ||

Without China . . . the country that has financed nearly everything the United States has done . . yes, the Chinese have bailed us out . . the same ones who laughed aloud when Secretary Tim Geithner told them "there is no need to worry, the US economy is fine". . . China. . . love them or hate them, holds the mortgage on America. Worse yet is they are loosing faith in the United States Dollar and are making rumblings about changing to another currency. Not my opinion . . . simple fact. Watch this and tell me what you think. The American economy can recover, over the next 7 years, but it's going to have to be done as a result of smart Americans. . . not generous Chinese. | ||

The Livelihoods of the Middle-class being taken away in this country. More Tyrannie. | ||

>>>Do you think that might have something to do with Unemployment? It was the same 5 years ago when unemployment was at record lows. The $878,000,000,000 of course was to keep unemployment below 8% (quoting Barack) and of course now all the funds for "shovel ready projects" (about 10% of the total) are dispersed and no one can find a single "shovel ready project". No. Unemployment has nothing to do with it. When times were good, the economy was at fever pitch and unemployment was low Americans were buying foreign cars in record numbers . . that's how GM and Chrysler WENT bankrupt over the last 3 years. Let's just hope we don't get a "stimulus II" we may not be able to survive that. By the way . . . anyone notice that "Mr. Transparency . . Mr. No Ear Marks" signed the Military Funding Bill on Monday . . . with OVER 1,000 PORK BARREL EARMARKS! . . . . hello monkey farm excrement research. It's your money people. | ||

He just doesn't sound all that bright . . . I expect to see him on the ballot soon. Let's parse these one at a time . . . >>>YOU ARE "NOT" A GOD! Good . . . I see you memorized at least as far as the 1st of the Ten Commandments . . so we know you can read. >>>You Do Not Know All You Think You Do! We are in perfect agreement. The very reason I have continued going to school until I am 55. I doubt, when I finish my Ph.D I'll even know much more . . . but you will have to call me Doctor. >>>>I do not Worship YOU! You are Nothing. Again we agree. . . and thank goodness you don't. So . . . bottom line, all stirred up, frothing at the mouth and kickin' your hooves in the dust you managed a 67%. Well done. |
