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.

Im not talking about the real shitboxes

Look at the video someone poasted in the first page… That volvo for instance… i bet that thing ran great and it looks good from what you can see… So what if it get 17mpg? if a family who needs a vehicle can use it why not?
