CARS is nto a stimulus program, it is a green program first and foremost.
additionally, these cars cant even parted out. scrap yards have to crush the car. you cant legally sell anything off of it.

nope. the government paid 4500 bucks to get something that gets below 18 mpg (or whatever it is) off the road.

I would pay $3500 for the red car!!!!
What a waste! If Mayor Bloomberg passed it, he would've auctioned the cars back out!

It gets worse... Before it's crushed the oil is replaced with sodium silicate and then run which eventually seizes the engine components. There's a reason it's known as liquid glass.

Comment to add. This is the most ridiculous and MOST stupid plan I have ever seen. It's like throwing money down the drain.

My Ride: 2004 545i - Bone stock... help!
Taking a cue from the Germans it seems. Scrap yards ended up selling their "clunkers" to organized crime, who sold them to Africa and other... um, low rent places. Not really getting the things off the roads, but oh well. Nice try. Would have liked it better if the fuel efficiency component was more strict. Say, clunker must be under 20mpg, and new car must be over 35 or something.
