Hey, let's get real folks. How many of us bought their car for the tax incentive??
I'll admit, it was a factor in my choice. Ford still has the full incentive of $2,600. However, the gas savings, as well as the emissions ratings, is what really compelled me to looking at another 5 yrs of payments. Otherwise, it wouldn't be feasible to trade in my '02 Explorer 1 yr. before it's payoff date

I think hybrids will continue to sell. There will be demand fluctuations
but don't underestimate the power of 1 gulf hurricane or 1 Venzualan/Iranian hug and $4.00/gal gasoline.

Would I have bought it with no tax incentive? You bet. But you gotta admit that it is a nice bonus, especially when jerks rush to point out that it'll take years to actually recoup the added cost. I have a set response: "I didn't buy it to save money, I bought it to save the planet. But since money seems to be all you care about...."

So much for the Constitution and the Supreme Court that required an Amendment to ban alcohol.
As Richard Thompson sang "I'll hurt you 'til you need me", that's government.
My prediction is that we will never see another Amendment to the Constitution as Amendments are obsolete because the Constitution has become meaningless.

I got my 2000 Insight before tax breaks, and saved about $2,500 in gas over the crippled 88 CRX HF I'd been driving if someone had not totaled it.

My concern would be that some states would choose not to spend money on their roads, and it would take forever to get across them. (Then again, that might drive companies to develop high-speed rail service....)

My god, a Liberal and a Libertarian in agreement on something. Mark this date on your calendar!

But you can bet your butt that there are still gonna be people who want to amend it for something or other. I think they think they're leaving their mark on history that way. Forget all the legislation you do pass, you haven't done anything unless you've tinkered with the Constitution.
Wait, what was the topic of this thread, again?
