Ted, > What is your question? Every car that is being traded in is going to be scrapped. Essentially the government is paying $4,500 per pile of scrap. It doesn't matter whether the car was road-worthy to begin with. There is a reason why that requirement is in place, though. It's real simple. The government doesn't want people going out there, picking up some pike of junk, then trading it in for $4,500. That's an incredible waste of taxpayer's money (although guys like you and RW think that even wasteful spending is "stimulus"). Tenchusatsu
