Feds To Offer Cash For Your Clunker 740
coondoggie sends along a NetworkWorld piece that begins, "The government... wants to motivate you to get rid of your clunker of a car for the good of the country (and the moribund car industry). A 'Cash for Clunkers' measure introduced this week by three US Senators, two Democrats and a Republican, would set up a national voucher program to encourage drivers to voluntarily trade in their older, less fuel-efficient car, truck, or SUV for a car that gets better gas mileage. Should the bill pass, the program would pay out a credit of $2,500 to $4,500 for drivers who turn in fuel-inefficient vehicles to be scrapped and purchase a more fuel-efficient vehicle."

I knew I should have held on to that rusted out 95 Grand Am a little longer.
Only got a couple hundred for it, and $100 of it was a new battery and a full tank.

Therefore, the environmentally responsible thing to do is import imperial gallons from the British.
