There is a 86 t type clunked at an atlanta toyota dealer. Its rough but its a t type

This is exactly what they want. Get all the old stuff off the roads. No more parts, cars will be left to die.

That's the scary thing about this deal and nobody really knows it yet.

Sad part is that the turbo V6 will pull down 29 to 30 MPG if tuned proper.......I know of a GN/T-type driveline in a El Camino that has gotten that mileage and runs mid 12 on street tires all the time. Probably bought a Camry that gets worse mileage than that T-type is capable of.......people are so stupid.

There two types of people that give these cars up, meaning older performance cars, misinformed people, ones who don't know what they actually have, and ones that do not want to go through the hassle of dealing with private sale. Remember, we are all car enthusiast here and these cars that we turn from a blank canvas to works of art are considered by the general public as junk and waste of time and money to restore. It only takes a few people to low ball them on these cars and they would have gotten fed and took advantage of CARS program.

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline. A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year. So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that's 224 million gallons / year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day's US consumption. 5 million barrels of oil costs about $350 million dollars at $75/bbl. So, we all committed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.

$350,000,000 saved by those who bought a new car $3,000,000,000 paid by everyone else who did not. How good a deal was that ???:bsjerk:

I just can't wait to see how much we save with the new health care!!

That's the equivalent of pulling the switch or giving an animal the "Blue Juice" at the vet.....I couldn't be an executioner in an circumstance, especially this one. I just hope it's the exception, and not the rule.
