Why doesn't the so-called mainstream media do this same information ???? Anyone have an answer ??? The funny thing is going to be later this year the phone calls that people took advantage of the cash for clunkers will also be billed in their IRS taxes on income and state taxes from most states for the $4500....it just gets funnier by the minute !! Just my $.02

I guess that'll show joe blow who clunkered the GNX and the Aston. Both may be turned down.. Not to mention mr. '08 Mustang and '06 350Z.
