From the SEMA Action Network (SAN) comes this notice dated 2/10/2009. Due to the many thousands of SEMA members and SAN enthusiasts contacting their lawmakers, the “Cash for Clunkers” program has been removed from both the House and Senate versions of the economic stimulus bills pending in Congress. One proposal was an $8 billion program targeting SUVs and pickups of any year that made less than 18 mpg. You got a few grand to purchase a more fuel effecient baby truck/SUV…..your real workhorse would be crushed. The other proposal would have provided $16 billion worth of cash vouchers to individuals making less than $50,000 a year ($75K for families) who turned in their older vehicles for crushing. SEMA thanks all those who donated their time and effort to contact legislators. Keep vigilance on these legislators….. “crusher” programd do nothing to spur car sales, raise fuel economy or reduce emissions.
