Wow, I almost fell for it. I figured it was a sick way to help our suck@ss auto industry. I hate to say it but I would only buy a Ford right now. No new vehicles from crappy companies sticking hands out looking for money.

I knew this was a load of crap as soon as I read the title:

"Consumer Assistance to End usage of out-moded Vehicles Act of 2009''


Any such act as this by the govt. would make it a "Consumer mandate" not "Consumer Assistance"

It would kind of be like calling all of the Obamanators other programs:

"Consumer Assisted Bailouts"

Read this thread early this morning at work on my lap top...walked away cussing, man I was pissed all I could think of was...'70 Z28-'96 Vette-'72 cutlass and my '94 buick GS...so I go back to work steam rolling off me---wondering if I should stop on the way home and buy some more ammo...then..all at once ..."toptechs" post replayed in my mind and I busted out laughing. With everything going on in the world on a day to day basis..I bit bigtime !!


Good job "9secondflat":ro fl:

God, I was going to go the safe and pull out my 50 Cal Desert Eagle, I was with," you can have my 5 cars, when you pry the keys from my cold dead hands," routine. You had me for 5 mintes, while i was re-re-re-reading, trying understand all the legal BS.

glad a few of you guys fell for it....now if you want to see a truly F*cked up program that was passed just google GIVE or better yet go to youtube and type in obama GIVE program....everyone is saying this is nothing more than a back door draft for youth 18-25 and comparing it to HITLERS brown shirt program put into motion back in 1933

its a voluntary program that is MANDITORY for all 18-25...someone explain this to me...

Default This is the ****TIEST attempt at humor I've ever read

I'm not in the habit of insulting people even on April fools day but this is the absolute sickest and most F__CKED UP joke I've ever read anywhere. It's pretty much like teasing someone about their dead father or yelling fire in a crowded theater with handicapped people or better yet joking about firing someone ...

Don't you people have anything better to do than to repeatedly cast doubt (even for a second) and cause blood pressures to rise? I can't frikkin believe that this was viewed as funny ...

To the original WRITER of this alleged joke, Go practice writing something useful for god's sake .... Why don't you try combating some of these stupid bills being passed with your legal writing skills instead of make me believe the world has gone nuts again ...

BAD BAD joke ..... VERY BAD .... Don't ever joke about this crap again. And don't make jokes about firing people or CARS, EVER!!!!!!

You just made the list, buddy. And I don't like nobody touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. Also, I don't like nobody touching me. Now, any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you. "
