Cash for Clunkers
I’m looking to turn in Beatrix, my 1991 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, during the Cash for Clunkers event for a fuel efficient Volkswagen TDI Jetta Sportswagen. The only problem is the psychological attachment thats developed between me and my car for the past 7 years I’ve been driving her. I wonder if my Health Insurance covers the counseling I’m going to need or if Obama’s healthcare plan will… In all seriousness though I’d really really like to keep the body of my car. I know they are supposed to kill the engine and transmission as part of the program, but I’d like to keep everything else (they can keep the engine and tranny) to try and tinker in a year or two and give her new life with a fully electric powertrain. I’ll ask the dealer if I can buy the frame, body, etc. after they destroy it for $500. But, anyone think that will work? (I already know I’m crazy, so I won’t ask that…)
