I must not be understanding some of the last posts. I paid around 17K with my '07 return. As long as you are under 150K jointly, I should receive this paltry $1200.00 in the mail.
I need that metal shield that covers the back up switch attached to the manual transmission (I think that's what it is).

No parts for me. We got our house painted. Of course we were planning on having it done before we found out about this little exercise in well planned .gov spending.

She doesn’t have a Vette to buy parts for I do. She is probably wanting to spend it on something frivolous like bills or something.

Lets see $4 a gallon for home heating oil vs parts for a 500 mile a year car? Average NE home uses 1000-2000 gallons per winter. $4 a gallon for milk, $3/dozen eggs,$25 pizza's,etc I think the vette is going sit most of the summer in the cool shade of the garage.

Ditto, I just wonder if the tax rebate scheme was invented to get the oil companies some more money? I made to much as a single person to qualify. Anyway if you get one spend it on lap dances, Harley Davidson's, and guns.

Plasma is rated higher all around. Unless you are running your computer through it. LCD is just like your computer screen. On a plasma it isnt as clear. But for television DV broadcast, Plasma is best. (studied hard before I got my 50in)
