HAHAHAHAHA A Toyota Tundra in the picture is just so perfect. Was this picture from like 1998? HAHA, those POS trucks were long gone by the time 1999 rolled around. The only clunkers you’ll see on the road are imports anyways. It’s time for those unAmerican ignorant focks to get themselves out of their japcrap and into a real vehicle with the best quality and dependibility on the planet.

A vehicle for General Motors.

Buy American folks. It is your patriotic duty as an American.

Yea where were the 4 other times they showed the real clunkers from GM or Ford ?

LMAO!!!!!!!!Was it “American” or “patriotic” when GM was sending jobs to Mexico?????The trouble The “Pig Three” find themselves in today is by they’re own doing.

NMOFGM — how’s being unemployed going for you? Or did you find another job to fit your IQ level? Janitor maybe?

Speedmon Not only did they send jobs to Mexico they did it when they were MAKING money They are greedy pigs along with Ford
It amazes me how people want a company that has done so much harm to America to succeed

“Cash For Clunkers” = “More Debt For You And Your Kids“

I still say the offer should be extended to include family members and you’d have a much better take rate.

The only clunkers out there are imports and they only need to be 6 months old to qualify. Don’t wait too long, those pieces of sh1t are only good for around 50k. Dump them while you can!

Get yourself into a GM vehicle that you can drive for 15 years and many hundreds of thousands of miles and never have a problem!

Buy American. Buy GM.

An American Revolution

Johnny, you mean the Friends And Family** Of Obama Plan?

** that’s Family as in extended mafia family

WE ALL ARE AT FAULT!!!!!!!WE HAVE LOST SIGHT OF WHAT AMERICA USED TO BE.Out country has gone to Hell in a handbasket and WE ALL was to busy getting rich and comfortable to give a crap!!!!nuff said.

nmofgm,
Keep up the good work. I swear every time I read your post I lmao. Wondering if you do stand up or anything?
I can imagine the arnold shwartanager impression

” Buy American. Buy GM. ”

“An American Revolution”

Fuggin Halarius man.

NMOFGM where have you been man? The auto blog world misses your crazy GM piggy backing lol. You are the most ridiculous and funny excuse we have to bag on GM, No wonder they are in bankruptcy.

GM had to produce cars in Mexico because the UNIONS kept wanting more money and Americans keep wanting huge discounts on new cars. It is simple economics – you can’t keep wanting high paychecks and then want to pay less for the products you were paid to make. Hopefully this BK now puts everyone on an even cost basis.

@mayer_ray_nagin

I agree with your statement about being in more debt. When the government spends more than it makes (from taxes), then the debt will grow larger. But this new plan might be able to boost the economy. So, let time take it’s course and we’ll see the results!

HOW IS “Cash For Clunkers” = “More Debt For You And Your Kids“ ???

Dose anyone really understand what a defeatist is? I mean really understand?

$1 BILLION for a program to help boost the economy VRS. $1 TRILLION for the WAR in IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN???

And you say more Debt? We are all F-ed thanks to Bush, Saudi Oil Kings, and China, that now owns our A$$es.

And it ain’t like the Federal Government is going to kick in your hose door and take all your belongings…

As long as you have a good tax guy your O.K., it’s when you don’t pay your tax that will upset uncle Sam…

Tomorrow things will cost more, and the “TAX” will go up regardless who is President of the U.S. And that’s a fact we all have to live with. This whole Big Debt that our children, children’s will inherent is something that will happen, our generation will not have social security, because that’s dried out!!!…

Besides the possession the Economy is in today dose not bring any brightness to tomorrows youth. Collage Grands are going straight to the unemployment line, some teachers all across the country will not be going back to work in the fall. And more and more FAMILY’S are finding them self’s homeless….

And you say “Cash For Clunkers” = “More Debt For You And Your Kids“ ???
F***! the Debt… What about TODAY?… What about RIGHT-NOW?…

I don’t see BIG OIL nor China bailing our Country out, I see our Government doing it’s job by bettering and preserving our Economy, and seeking new avenues of approach to get the boll moving again so that YOU and I can keep our Family’s with a roof over their heads and we can put food on the table…

Remember President Obama is just one man in office for the last 6 months, and we are million’s of American’s that need him, to find us a way out of the hole we are in today…

Maybe “some” need to listen a little less to the “right-wing” & “left-wing” talk radio, and put things in to prospective and think for your self’s, and seek the knowledge to understand what is really going on.

Now that I have said all that… I understand that “some” there is no other way to communicate to. And for thous I say please think before post. a bla,bla,bla… comment never gets respect, nor is taken seriously.

And for thous that do have the seance to comprehend and do have a prospective of what is going on and not just a opinion, thank you, I’m glad I’m not the only one…

And ya I know my spelling sucks, but it’s not my spelling that made me who I am today. It’s common seance, street smarts, seeking the right knowledge to understand things, and a F-you move out the way and let me show you how it’s done attitude. Trust me, it’s paid off…

Looks like a Tacoma to me…

@yarsddog,DAMN FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME F***ING SENSE!!!!!Why is everyone trying to blame Obama for Bush’s BS!!!!!

If you “need” obama you are a freakin loser, yarddog, but you already knew that.

I dont need him, and I am not in a hole.

@ mayer_ray_nagine

Some of us are in the car business, the money can be good, and the job is fun, that is why I do it.
With the economy in the gutter, I need people to walk in my show room and buy cars.

That’s the bottom line…

Personally, I’m glad to hear you are one of the few that find then self’s in a good position. I wish more people were so that I can sell cars to them. But my industry is not the only one that is hurting, Home Depo. & Lowe’s posted big loss last month. Target posted another 10% loss, Best Buy electronics posted 8% lost last month, Mc Donald’s posted 6% lost.

Retail is what you base the numbers off, and everyone is loosing sales, we need the economy back on track…. That is the bottom line…..

Tell you what, if you have a better ideal how to fix things let us hear it, because I’m fresh out of ideal’s, we’ve reduce manager’s pay, cut down bonus’s, shrunk the work force, bought out the competition, consolidated businesses, stepped up advertising, and still we need barely broke even last month.

But I’m sure since your very well off, you hardly give a rat-as about the working class. I’m not surprise, and I’m sure your glad that all the “crooks” that work at car dealers are getting there fair shear of the F-ed up situation.

I sincerely hope you never find your self in the position that some of us are in, making decision’s like, who to give pink slips to, or cutting off vender’s that are on the brake of closing their doors, or something just as simple as going out of your way for customers now becomes something to think about because it will cost money, where do you shift money from to cover that expense?

But hay it is, what it is…. All what we can do is expect the worst and hope for the best.

Yard Dog, just to get your spirits up a bit, I’m not doing too bad, either. However, I’m a sole provider, and as such, I can’t afford to go purchase another car until I pay off my credit card, which will happen by the end of the year. I’ll be in the market for a new car soon enough.

However, I’ve also seen the trouble in my line of work. The first thing businesses cut in troubled times is their advertising budget, and that has wreaked havoc on us. As car dealers have all but stopped their advertising (some actually have), and car manufacturers have cut back tremendously, we’ve been severely hurt. The staff at my station has gone from 44 to 17 in the past couple of years, and it doesn’t look good for the future, either.

But I am the best at what I do, and I know that I will be okay. I just feel bad watching all my coworkers get cut.

As far as Obama and Bush stuff, well, one man cannot be 100% to blame. Neither Bush nor Obama is 100% to blame, and neither Bush nor Obama has the ability to save us. We are the ones to blame, and the only ones that can save ourselves. Why? Because we voted them in, and we didn’t speak out enough when they made the choices we didn’t want them to make. We have the right of free speech and of protest, and we didn’t do enough of either to be frank. We can call and write to our congressmen, and let them know that they will lose voters if they do not do what we want them to do. It is our government – they are supposed to work for us. But right now, they are controlling us, and have been for many years, and we are responsible for letting them.

As for this bill, I don’t particularly like it, partly because I cannot take advantage of it, but I also don’t like the fact that it is based on fuel mileage as opposed to make or age of the car. I feel they should have looked at other things besides just mileage. But it is what it is. Let’s see what happens.

@ beatusmongous I know what you mean…

That’s the Toyota T100 in picture, which came in 4-cyl or V6. According to fuelconomy.gov, the 4-cyl gets 17/22 and the V6 gets 15/19, so that photo only partially represents a “clunker” as defined. And the private resale value holds at $4000 – $5000 (nadaguide conservatively, kbb is usually even higher), so I doubt that’s the prime candidate for “clunker.”

All japcrap are clunkers. No GM vehicle will qualify since owners who own them love them and will put 800 or 900 thousand miles on it before replacing it with another GM vehicle. Japcrap is ready for the scrapheap by 50k.

GM. An American Revolution
