Where and what is this program?  Anyone have a web address to find some
info?  I have an old Dodge Van in my pasture that has been sitting for a
bunch of years...Late 70s van, still runs ok, was my way old Baja cruiser at
one time.  I could only get scrap $ for it now, probably, but it might be
nice to get some Government $ if they are giving it away....

  One of my friends just got in on that SUV- Tax deal before they finally
stopped giving it out...He got a brand new big fat GMC SUV because it
weighed over 5000lbs..He wanted a littler one, looking at some and just
ready to shell out around $40k on a Beamer or something when his accountant
said..."Whoa!  If you buy one that weighs 500lbs more, the Government will
pitch in $20k..."  So he went to the Chevy dealer and cut a deal on the GMC
for $23k...Government sent him $20k and he was out of pocket $3k for a 2008
GMC-whatever mobile...silly...
