These deals are just to get rid of SUVs.

I live in the mountains,, I drive for a living, dead smack in the center of my territory for work. By saying we should all live in the cities shows how ignorant you are.. Without those living out of the cities the cities wouldn't be there either,, how would you live without farms, food,, dairy,, etc.. Now on the car thing,, Electric is nice,, but,, the big but is the environmental an monetary cost, the batteries kill these things.. some day they will be a great solution.. but right now,, not that great.. cost per mile is over twice than the gas guzzling suv. CNG and bio fuels are a very good alt. that would be easy and better for now.. Also there is no real fuel shortage, its more caused by day traders "playing" stock broker.. driving up the prices. If We could drill in the US we have more oil than all of the middle east.. just some is in sensitive areas.. We need to get better control on off shore drilling too,, 3rd world countries are drilling just off the US in areas that We dont let our oil companies drill in, but since they are technically int. waters these other countries can,, using 50 year old scrapped rigs?? Which is safer?? I wish the EPA would allow me to convert my Jeep over to cng,, they wont,, epa laws,, go figure.. Just need a place to fuel up.. and my jeep gets 20 mpg around town and 24 on the highway.. with 32" tires and 4wd! I also wont drive anything much smaller as I was in a front end collision when an elderly woman lost control of her little car and stuck me head on at 55 each.. I survived, she didnt! We need better alt. fuel,, and less epa restrictions on modifying our vehicles to be cng, lpg, electric, bio fuel, solar or what ever! If We are doing something that runs cleaneer it should be good not a 50K$ fine! You city dwelling prius owners kill me..

There won't be enough heat or people in the foundries to pour the blocks for trucks and cars of any size! The problem for commuters in the south right now is that what they do for a day's work is not worth the cost of bringing them back and forth to work in SUVs or anything else! This is partially because the good-paying jobs are gone to Asia, where they are done mostly in much more modern and totally automated non-union factories by a population surplus of females that weigh under 90lbs each and eat accordingly and have very low lifestyle demands, so work for much less! We believe that competition is good for business when we are winning, but right now these Asian women are kicking our asses - The do much, much more per shift for much, much less! They demand nearly nothing in return from their society and don't live long enough to collect old age security. Ruthless, profit maximizing, predator, American Capitalists set factories up and exploit them in absolute slave conditions using our technology and screw you out of your job by competing this way with you. Republicans are lobbied by these Capitalists and are bought out - its in the newspapers every day! We are f**king doomed by our own government's actions! Grow up, quit whining and bite the bullet!

Got all of you beat. My only ride is a Corvette (25 mpg highway) and I only need it a couple times a week. Annual mileage? 4 to 5 k per year. At 4 dollars a gal, 15-20 mpg local, thats $1250 per year. Even my insurance is reasonable with no issues in 20 years. Snow? An Small older Toyota Suv with almost no miles on it.

It gets 30 mpg on the highway. I have a 06 F-150. I am about to dump $700.00 to make it more fuel efficent. Why? Cause I can't hunt and fish in a Mustang. I also have a 65 Ford Mustang. I dont care if gas is $15.00 a gallon. I will drive it because I love it. How can you say I live in a impratical area? Have you been to Kansas? Where most of your food, and milk come from?? It is all impratical but it is a great place to live. No crime, very little pollution. It is better than having a apartment in Manhattan, NY. I feel sage, and I dont have to worry about what might happen to my children. I bought a 93 Mustang for $250. It gets 30 mpg on the highway. I have a 06 F-150.
