no "classics" will be crushed under the bill. The car has to be 84 or newer.

wow that's pretty cool. Im sure we would all like to think that a smart politician said "hey we need to protect classic and set a limit to 84 or newer"

Too bad that's not the real reason behind it....

I think the cash for clunkers deal is a bad idea. I read that they are going to drop it soon.

I don't want to see the older cars dissapear to the crusher. Also, what if somone that owns a clunker gets a newer car they can't afford to make payments on then it gets repoed. Thats not good for the economy.

If thats the case, then they should have set it as only cars 74 and newer.
