A friend sent me this video today. A nice clean fox GT, appears to be pretty stock too. Cash 4 Clunkers victim, I think there's a guy laughing at the end of the video. It's a shame!

1. That's a strong little SOB, all the motors we did only lasted about 30 seconds, had one truck last a few min though. It would have died a lot faster if they hadn't been on the gas pedal.

2. I hope who ever traded that in got T-boned on the way out of the dealership

3. Cash for clunkers was a terrible idea

Cash for clunkers was a big waste of time. Nobody who needed new car benifitted from it. There were people trading in 04 explorers for it. Most of the cars traded were nicer than some cars i have driven. ****ing dealerships and their greed.

Honestly, who really cares It's a stock motor in just about the ugliest fox I could imagine. Too bad it wasn't a vert.

i yanked my tb and intake manifold from an explorer in our local pic-a-part that was in the C4C program. the owner of the yard told me the only thing he could not sell was the block.

I'm just waiting.... All those people that traded in their perfectly good paid for cars for a car they can't afford, which had no discounts or dealer offers and they paid exactly the same as they would have without the C4C program... If your car was worth more than the 500-1000 you might have actually saved, then you got screwed.

I'm just waiting....

meh its life, if you fuggers wanted to buy it you would offer the guy 2500 thats what is worth, probably has red interior and 190k. So if the got 4,500 bucks for the car he is the only one thats really laughing. Our goverment is just as funny, who ever thought they would pay you more for something than its worth, and then break it

look at it this way it just made your car more vaulable b/c the supply of SD 5.0's just got knocked off by 1
