Cash for Clunkers

[19Sport91]

Well, I did it! I used the Obama bucks to trade my old friend (1991 Explorer Sport) for a 2009 Ford Ranger XLT 4X2. The deal went well, the dealer took $1500 off sticker, then the $4500 "cash for clunkers", then a $4000 factory rebate - I just could not say no.

...I have mixed feelings on this but this is probably the best story I have heard so far...:scratch:..Trade in an X for a Ranger???

...Welcome to your new Ranger and be sure to post some pics, add a "Ranger Registry" and enjoy...:biggthump

I hate to nit-pick, but they're actually your and my taxpayer bucks.

I hate to nit-pick but everything is yours and mine - bridges, roads, the military, schools, and so on.

I agree. That is our tax dollars that we - the people - will be paying back for the next 20+ years.

I'd rather help someone buy a vehicle than buy more bombs and weapons..

This statement makes absolutely no sense.

But, seeing as the explanation will get way out of the scope of this forum, maybe we should just leave it be.

Fundamentally, making a claim that the statement "makes absolutely no sense" disagrees with "leav[ing] it be" :

I'm surprised they let you buy a Ranger with it..I thought these big bad trucks and SUV's was what they wanted to get rid of, and make us all drive econoboxes..
