Hey there! Charlz here! glad to be part of this community!

Did some of you guys heard this stuff:

The House approved a "cash for clunkers" bill that aims to boost new auto sales by allowing consumers to turn in their gas-guzzling cars and trucks for vouchers worth up to $4,500 toward more fuel-efficient vehicles. President Barack Obama has encouraged Congress to approve consumer incentives for new car purchases as part of the government's work to restructure General Motors and Chrysler. The House approved the bill 298-119.

What's your point of view about this issue? hmmm....

Welcome aboard drifterer101!

I did hear about that on Fox News the other day. I think it could raise car sales and help some people. However, if I drive an older cv jetta that gets 22 miles to the gallon, I need to buy something that gets 32 miles top the gallon to get the $4500 voucher.

I wonder how they will determine what mileage your car gets, will it go by the original manufactured mpg rating? What if you car is running poorly and needs repairs...putting along at 5 mpg....
