Clunkers out of cash.

I agree that this program should have been better-thought, and there should have been more limits on what you can buy. A guy here at work just traded in an old Voyager minivan for the full $4,500 that he turned around and used on a new Honda Civic. Yeah, how much of those profits stay here in the States?

Also, why even have an 18 mpg cutoff? What if I wanted to trade in my 20mpg car for a 35mpg one? According to the gov't I don't qualify, just because 20 is 2 points more than 18. That's horseshit.
