Default How to kill those "Klunkers"

Cite please.


Cite what? I read it on a forum site in a thread with more ignorant
whining about the whole CARS program. It was one of those "I heard it
from a guy who heard it from a guy" situations.

I dunno if the claim is legitimate. That's why I said, "by some
accounts." You can't deny that it is plausible. I have no doubts that
it is actually happening somewhere. Remember you can tell that a car
dealer is lying, because his lips are moving. What's stopping them
from trying to double-dip?

"Unless the vehicles are DESTROYED..."

The program requires that the engine be destroyed and the vehicle
labled attesting that fact. If the dealers are getting around that
requirement, then what will stop them from getting around the
requirement that the entire vehicle be destroyed?


At this stage of the game, I have no doubts that some dealers are
TRYING to get around the requirement. Whether they manage to get away
with it will remain to be seen. All we can do is watch the news for
the headlines, "Auto Dealer Fined for Double-Dipping on CARS Program."
