Cheeky Disclaimer! Cheeky Monkey knows absolute diddly squat about cars. So, not long ago, prezbo and crew come up with their Cash for Clunkers program. What a cluster fark of an uptopian, envirowacko, raging piece of a search for a concept. Any concept will do, to get the "message" out to the dummies who voted for "change" and will think they are getting "free cars". Who in his right mind could buy into this propoganda? It is an absolute abomination of the highest order and an unmittigated waste of valuable resources, many American cars and our unique American car culture. For what purpose? Three Billion additional dam-Dollars were allocated for cash for clunkers! Yet, car dealers are still waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for their government checkerooneys and they "hope" the checks eventually clear if only for their abject loyality and extreme naivete of buying into the hype of pushing cash for clunkers onto the unwashed masses of our ignoble electorate. Whoever came up with the cheezy term, Cash for Clunkers amway, uh, anyway? Think about being in the car business, agreeing to promote cash for clunkers and still waiting for that elusive government check, after all these weeks, and knowing, deep down inside, just like the majority of the American People know, that the United States Treasury is flat out busted and broke. Soon even Fort Knox will be running out of that black ink and hyper-inflation will be running in ....
Nostalgia. Cheeky Monkey went to school with a guy in the 60s who drove an old Hudson. If he still has the car today, he surely would not be willing to clunk it! There is a bond between men and their first cars! A man can describe each and every car he has ever owned in gentle and loving detail with fond memories, right down to the floormats. Cheeky Monkey was also friends with a guy who had a 1930-something car with suicide doors and she even got to ride in it! Whitewalls! What a vision when those doors opened like a hallway kind of thing and we all rolled out! Many other friends drove what can be called the Clunkers of those days Plymouths, Buicks and Dodges, many complete with push button drives. We were all just happy to have friends who had wheels, let alone the permission, to get in the cars and cruise! Station wagons, the godfathers of the SUVs. One kid drove a Bonneville (Pontiac?) very plush and as long as a city block! You had to be there to appreciate it. Driving the Loop. Round and round and round. There was also the classic, Chevy Belair. Four on the floor, 8 track tapedecks and mag and honeycomb wheels. Impala, such a beautiful vehicle! Sleek! VW vans were also very popular. Bumper sticker: "If this van is rocking, don`t bother knocking"! But yet, guys who drove those Ramblers and Studebakers were to be avoided. How shallow we were then. As Billy Holliday sang, "Don`t Explain". Time marched on and the Mustang, Oldsmobile 442, Pontiac GTO and the Car of Cars, the Corvette, were what men and women wanted to drive!
What absolute insanity has enveloped the presumed, educated populace to permit this blatant and senseless destruction of a classic Corvette, let alone the thousands of other viable vehicles, in order to buy into this cash for clunker fool-tool? Too many American people have worked their entire lives, some have never had an opportunity to sit in, let alone drive a Corvette, and would NEVER sacrifice such a beautiful automobile, much less their family Suburban they bought and paid for with no assistance from any car czar! Whatever possessed the owner of this Corvette to denigrate and destroy a classic car in order to promote a horrendous agenda of cash for clunkers? Another very blunt question to ask could be: Why didn`t he go down with his Vette, into that dismal car crusher, with those huge, gnashing jaws, strapped in the driver`s seat, Evian water and carrot stick in hand, confident in the knowledge the amabO administration is not only all for death panels for people, prezbo`s really into end of the road car counseling, too?

"Hope" the link works. How could this happen in the United States of America to an innocent Corvette? If this can happen to a classic car, what can happen to you and me?
