I have a huge gas hog 1968 chevy van, it does not apply and I have a 1983 crummy toyota that also does not apply. Yet I see what they are crushing is absolutely absurd. I thought the point was to get the hogs off the road. But I guess mine are tooo clunky. Yet nobody can tell me why they are avoiding to get the real clunkers off the road! I feel the same way.

For example, a 1985 Honda Civic will not be qualified but a 2003 Mazda MPV would. I guess the program is designed to crush gas-hogs ('85 Civic gets 32mpg while 03 MPV gets 18mpg).

The ex car salesman blog shares exactly why they stopped the program. Even reports that some sales managers are calling asking for the money back because they were denied the rebate when the final paperwork was submitted but their car was already ruined by dumping a solution in the engine. They now have no car. Scary. See: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ml9sdo" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ml9sdo</a> Read this article: The Real Reason for the “Cash for Clunkers” Suspension.

ONE BILLION IS ENOUGH. I thought for sure that this program would not move this quickly as people that drive real clunkers don't have money for monthly payments.
