Well, there might be some relief for my car which I hold so dear to my heart. It’s the only one I have ever had and in the next few years, it will be taken to its final resting place. My friend has been following this(NPR) which is new to me:

Congress Proposes ‘Cash For Clunkers’ Program

Morning Edition, January 15, 2009 ยท The government has given billions of dollars to automakers who need to sell more cars. Now, Congress may soon offer motorists money to buy new vehicles. The idea behind the proposed program, called “Cash for Clunkers,” is to get millions of aging gas guzzlers off the road and replace them with fuel-efficient cars. If approved, the program would provide vouchers up to $4,500.

I am not sure how I feel about American cars… but I guess I will find out if this bill goes through. Hmmm.
