You know that clunker that is sitting in your backyard, taking up space (and dripping various car fluids) in your driveway, or cluttering up your garage? Well, let us just say that Congress would not only help you get rid of it, but they would pay you for it in the bargain — would you take advantage of that?

Because not only is it happening, there is talk of having the unique, one of a kind cash for gas guzzlers program extended to early fall, as long as the program which is currently in place ends up being successful.

The program has an amazing one billion dollars worth of funding, in the hopes of covering about two hundred and fifty thousand gas guzzling clunker vehicles. The program will begin officially within the next thirty days or so.
