All Obama is, is the mouth piece.. a good teleprompter reader..  

I still beg do differ on this.  Too many uhs, ums and wells.  He plays the laid back joe cool role well, but to me that doesn't represent a good leader, nor does the fact that he always looks stoned  

[axled89]

i agree with the cheese & rustbucket.    to much red eye and  ums,  ah,  what,
              Do you think he'll ever answer with i don't no? 
or maybe a straight answer just once.    :bull crap:

[86rustbucket]

Those who are unaware are unaware that they are unaware!













I wonder...will this thread end up on the "snitch" site for being fishy?

[kneedownnate]

Back on topic.

Cash For Clunkers is really bad for individuals who build or restore vehicles.

...Anti-Clunker legislation is the broad based term being applied to various programs designed to remove antique and classic autos from the road in the name of environmental safety.

....Did you know at this very moment there are lawmakers on the municipal, State and Federal levels that would seek to deprive you of your rights to own and drive a classic car? Anti-Clunker legislation is the broad based term being applied to various programs designed to remove antique and classic autos from the road in the name of environmental safety. While we strongly agree that future generations do have every right to clean air and water, collector cars do not significantly contribute to the overall majority of pollutants in todays world. The old car hobby faces a bleak future if people do not speak out for their rights NOW !

------Here's What You Need to Know...
The majority of funds allocated for lobbying efforts are spent not by well meaning environmental groups, but by oil companies who seek to receive pollution credits for each car that is scrapped! Oil companies can then use their carbon allocations to continue polluting the air we breathe and the fragile marine environments that feed our world.
.....There are many State and local politicians seeking to use archaic nuisance laws to remove the millions of classic cars that await restoration. By declaring a vehicle parked on private property an eyesore, the government may force the owners, often elderly people on fixed incomes, to prove that these vehicles are in proper running order or face forfeiture? ....How many collectors have fond memories of buying their first Chevy from the nice old ladies and gentlemen who were glad to see their treasured car, that held so many happy memories, go to a young person who would lovingly restore the car to showroom new condition? Is it fair to deprive owners and collectors of project cars awaiting restoration just because they can't restore a car quickly enough to
please the local bureaucrats?
.........In the mid 1950s and early 60s you could buy a 12 cylinder custom bodied Packard or Cadillac V16 for less than $200.00. ....Back
then, these hand crafted classics were considered old junkers today these priceless relics are rolling pieces of automotive history, displayed in world class museums and sometimes exchanging hands for millions of dollars! Is it fair to deprive a wide-eyed 16 year old the right to experience the exhilaration of hauling home a 64 Impala to fix up with dad and the proud day when
the project is completed? We think not.
-----Here's What You Can Do...
..Each and every hobbyist has a responsibility to his or herself, as well as future generations, to speak up now in order to preserve our rights to share this unique slice of American culture with others. Cars are not just transportation, they are time machines that transport us back to our first prom in Dad's Bel Air, or family trips in the back of a wagon. From weddings to bringing home our firstborn children, these machines have been there for us. It would truly be a great loss, for all of those who have lived, loved, and traveled the roadway of life, if these great autos were forever condemned to the scrap heap, like so much rubbish. .......Don't let the lawmakers send your memories to the junkyard. We have listed several groups by region for you to contact to find out what you can do to get involved. You can also contact your local representatives and senators to voice your opposition to Anti-Clunker legislation. Help stop this shameful assault on the American car! ..........Join Classic Industries® in fighting the Anti-Clunker laws and help keep our hobby alive!

Go figure, a bunch of fords taken to cash for clunkers.  If there is a clunker it is definitely a ford.

[Tofudude]

I noticed that too Tofudude.  I know a lot of people who got rid of their american cars and bought a japanese one.  Honestly, can not go wrong with a toyota.  My dodge has 236,000, but i had to rebuild my motor at 198,000 and replace my tranny right after that.  Now a toyota, change the clutch, do the heads, drive another 200,000 easy.  Honestly, I would have done the same thing because if american made cars were reliable like a yota, I would buy one, but that would never happen.
