Cash for Clunkers Program - Page 12

It's ironic but Iron and Wine is really just one guy. Live, it was just him and his acoustic. On recordings he brings in a band. Kinda like James Taylor, or Simon and Garfunkel, you know, they could play all those songs with just voice and guitar, but on records they'd have a whole band.

I heard a rumor that Uncle Sugar is slow to pay the dealerships. It'd be funny if Obamanomics failed to produce the promise.

Guess he could call it a clerical error.

Maybe he'll give a speech or invite all the owners of the auto dealerships he fuked over to the WH for a brewski. He could even have the clerk there to apologize.

Clerk:

"Me tho thowy."
Oblama:

"It was in de best interest of all parties concerned that we meet today as citizens of this great country and settle our differences regarding this small oversight."
Dealer Reps:

Got any Coors?

Secretary LaHood Announces Wind Down to Hugely Popular CARS Program

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced Thursday that after a wildly successful run, the cash for clunkers program will come to a close on Monday, August 24th at 8 p.m. EDT.

I'm posting this from work.....look at the clock. it's tomorrow.

i have 6 more deals to recap before I go home. This was an interesting program. I expect that tomorrow and Saturday will be retardedly hectic......I will be working Sunday again to get all the the claims in....and Monday.....will suck. You just know that they will have some ass that knows someone important decide he wants in at 6pm on monday....then we'll have a 'beat the clock' scenario entering his claim. and Tuesday we won't sell a car.

Yes. And now he's exhausted.

I wonder how many procrastinators went through Jim's showroom though. They've seen the new cars, they have the itch, they need only get around the feeling that they gave away $4500.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-21-2009, 10:18 AM

Or don't have a clunker and were waiting for the frenzy to pass.

Because all the dealership employees will be sleeping for a week?

Good point. Personal experience shows that even a POC car that you need to get rid of isn't always considered a clunker.

And FUCK A DUCK. I just realized I finally got my damn money for my car and was going to get a car this weekend. It'll be crazy, won't it?

OH JIM? Do you think the crowds will make it more likely or less likely they'll accept my cash offer? Please let me know your opinion. I want to get the best car I can with the money I can spend, and I need to know how to approach.

I think I already said this Shawnee, but see if you can get a demonstrator model. Has 1,000 miles on it, cost $4,000 less. Damn near replaces what you lost.

TheMercenary · 08-21-2009, 07:06 PM

That's what we did with a car for our youngest, got a 2009 Toyota for quite a bit off sticker with 2500 miles on it.

lumberjim · 08-23-2009, 12:12 AM

Hoooooly shit, Houston.

Holy mother of fuck

40 cars today. 33 yesterday.
