Ok, I'm with you....son gets it, but not dad. I'm opposed to this
program for many reasons. I am one of those who believes it makes more
sense to drive/use what exists, rather than consume energy and
resources to manufacture new. Furthermore, and more significantly,
when I see any VW van go the boneyard, I am like the indian of tv
commercial fame, overlooking the Hudson (is it the Hudson?).......zoom
in and you see me shed a tear.
But what about the junky Vanagons, sitting in a field of weeds, that
are continually advertised and rarely purchased? Are we to berate
those frustrated sellers who finally give in and send these vehicles
to the junkyard?
