*As a carbon dioxide policy, this is a terribly wasteful thing to do."*

- *Henry Jacoby,* Professor of Managenment and Co-Director of the Joint
Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change at MIT, quoted today in
the Associated Press on the merits of the Cash for Clunkers Program in
relation to greenhouse gases.

Hope too many Vanagons don't get trashed.  This is a wasteful program.

My 19 year old son has been driving a wonderful '91 Volvo 740 Turbo (The
Famous B230 Red Block) since last Fall that has 200,000 miles on it.  It
seems many of these vehicles could have longer lives.
