did you see the corvette they locked up too? "c4c" cars and trucks are all over the local junk yards, you can still get tons of good parts off of them, just not engines. most of the ones i have seen are pretty much prefect other than being seized up

True. And I'm not a big Jeep fan, but here is a 5.9 Limited going to waste as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUMVzEAj9uY

My friend had one of these and it had one of the nicest interiors I have seen in an SUV and was a beast with the AWD.

Good video, but the guy is a completely tool. Maybe he should grow a brain and point his anger at the stupid people who wrote the bill and voted on it. Obama has absolutely nothing to do with the **** poor way they handled the "disable the car part"

I seem to remember people kicking around this idea way before obama came into office. 20 bucks says that dumb *** would not be saying "**** you McCain" if McCain had won. He would have kept his anger directed at the correct people, but wants to blame the president as well because he isnt republican.(tools)

Oh and lastly, that car might be nice for a handful of people, but its a piece of crap. Its an ugly wagon that could very well have that crap engine thats physically identicle to the LT1, but with a lot less power.

Over 690,000 cars were eliminated by this program, which ended up costing 2.8 billion dollars, all in less than a year. It is the first step into having us all drive eco **** boxes.
