If we can give someone with a family who needs a nice car, and cannot afford one give it to them. Generaly someone who is in a situation like that isnt goign to drive around aimlessly because they can. It would still allow them to get to point a to point b quickly and hopefully more safely then whatever rusted out pos they were driving before if they were even driving anything. If you consider a '95 Explorer with 125,000+ miles and a failing transmission a nice car then go for it. But what happens when that car inevitably fails, sooner rather than later, is the government on the hook then? Some of you guys want smaller government but at the same time want the government to run a program that takes over-valued trade-ins and gives them to poor families. Sounds like bigger government to me. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cash-for-clunkers-bills-runs-out-of-money/245833)._
