Subject:Re: Idiots for Clunkers..guy scraps 86 westy in new goverment program
Date:Sun, 2 Aug 2009 11:32:26 EDT

and you know, the funny thing is, that this comes when scrap metal is at an
all time low..  and junkyards have been hoarding crushed cars waiting for
the prices to go back up..so they have not been buying as many junkers...

now there will be a incredible surge of junked cars....while scrap metal is
low....

what does this mean?   the goverment will have to find somewhere to put all
these things because junkyards arent buying them because scrap is so low???
LOL
brilliant move obama!!
