This is a chart I remember seeing as well. In fact, I think I posted it somewhere, although it may have been on another site.

sometimes it's both.

understand my perspective. I put up a thread because I'm in the car business, and thought people might want to find out about this program. I offered to answer questions.

Why did you find it necessary to post your incorrect opinion as though it were fact even though i had linked the actual information and offered to clarify any questions?

didn't have enough time to read the link.....you were in a rush? and yet you had time to post incorrect information, and the judgement that this is a bad program.

you're like a stupid version of Aliantha. jesus.

According to the chart I just posted, I wasn't wrong AT ALL in the requirments I posted. Even according to the link you provided, I wasn't wrong. And I specifically said I had not read the link YET because I was in a hurry (I have now read the link), and that I was going by what I had I seen in committee.

I am happy you were posting something to help people who might be in the market for a new car. Good for you. I STILL think the bill Feinstein and Snow were working on would have better because it would have benefited more people. Not everyone can afford a new car right now, but many people who can't might could afford a used one. Why is it taboo to say so?

been too busy to read the cellar.

i'm off today, but i have to get shit done around here too.

we've done 20 C4C deals since Friday. The claims process is daunting. Guess who gets to deal with that nightmare.... We have to scan a shit ton of documents, and fill out multiple page forms on the site, submit the claim, then go back in and submit the scrap certificate.....etc.

plus, we're freaking jamming busy all day. no time no time

BUT, that's better than the alternative.

I didn't think of that. We, too, get to bear the brunt of new government programs. It's like "here's what WE'RE gonna do...it's gonna be freaking GREAT. Now, YOU figure out the nightmare of administering it within our sketchy and complicated regulations. Guidance? You don't need no stinkin' guidance."

Hang in there!
