The "Cash for Clunkers" program has finally wound down. I guess those who had "clunkers" but still couldn't make up their mind about replacing them with pragmatic, bang for the buck new vehicles, will still be out driving on the roads and highways. Which is sad for the rest of us. Still, I'm glad that the government for once offered people the incentive to make smart decisions. Especially, when it comes to giving people who made unwise choices the first time around a whole better second chance.
I'm not too unhappy about the program coming to an end though. Primarily because I got plenty sick and tired of seeing and hearing the "Cash For Clunkers" phrase everywhere - on TV, radio, print, the web. Everywhere.
But, and those of you who know me and my dislike for large SUV gas guzzlers will understand this more so, pictures like these do warm the heart.
