I have trouble believing this, Paul, as the Scrappage language is part of an
"energy" bill and not a beautification bill. It seems to be a collusion
between the government and the automobile industry, in view of the proposed
credit provided for new car purchases, to eventually exterminate automobiles
over 15 years of age. I have been given, for free, cars that have been
utilized for parts. Under this Bill, the owners of these cars would not give
them to enthusiasts like you or me--they would sell them to the government
for MONEY and new car purchase credits. As to the disposition of the then
"scrapped" car, that seems to be left to the discretion and interpretation of
whoever is adminsitering the Bill. It COULD include crushing.
