GO HUMMER, I happen to own an H2 n the rust bucket gets 9.1mpg's not bad considerin my 06 M5 gets 7.2mpgs. N really the truck is a great offroading monster, all i changed on it was the tires went to goodyear mtr's, but other than that it sucks, its rusting falling apart n costs me about 2k a month on up keeping. But for some reason I do love the hunk of s**t.

So I am paying for my neighbors new car? This isn't socialism? Then what the hell is it? Is there no end to the way the government will spend our money? Can we just fire these fools now?

I just read a little more about this, unless your car worth less than $4500, it's better to trade it in.

Nope, you can buy 1 car only, and I think the that bill dose not apply to imports.

** he said "nearly"... And if I had a hummer, I'd definitely trade it in and grab some tatas.

So if you were dumb enough to buy a Hummer (or similar) then you get a credit when trading it in? Am I reading this right? Are we rewarding people for being stupid?

Ha, yes I guess I am a hater. I admit it, I hate Hummers and pretty much everything they represent in a person. Sorry.

Listen to all those that hate HUMMER's cause of the gas milage they get, ur all just plain stupid. An H2 can get at most 12mpg's, ok my range rover sport gets 13 and my M5 gets 7.2. So please dont hate cause u dont know s**t, most suvs get from 10-14 at best.

HaHaHa..they are giving you $4500.00 to spend, so you can take on a $20,000 note minimum, for a car that will save you at most a few hundred dollars in fuel over the course of a year, raises your insurance and depending on your location, registration cost is based on value...newer car...more to register, the people driving the car they are targeting couldnt afford a new car with a $10,000 voucher.

Thanks to the Messiah Obama, we will all be paid to buy new euro or jap cars. After all he isn't American, why else would he sink us down the Socialist Euro model.
