House approves $2B more for 'cash for clunkers'

They are just used too 'large vehicles' and then everything seems pretty small compared? Sure big vehicles got advantages, no doubt. But these things, the average people consider it as their ''freedom'', my choice! etc. I never had a problem as a kid sitting in small car.

But as a kid, you see some other dad from a kid which is on your school, in a car which is much bigger and you get jelous and feel ashamed that your dad got such a small car, compared (how sad really). People when older not much different though.

So when other people get big cars, many people must have a big car as well but complain very much when the fuel prices rises.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.  When the fuel prices first began to rise, 4-Wheeler or a similar magazine had a reader poll asking at what point would fuel prices get before they would stop driving their off-road vehicles.  At the time, gas was  around $2/gallon, and the average price the reader's posted was around $3.29 a gallon.  Funny thing is prices went up slow enough that when it got to that point, I seen very few trucks up for sale.

Preliminary:  Ford is posting a monthly gain in sales, claiming that most were smaller vehicles.  Chrysler may post 10% LOSS in sales.  Nothing from GM thus far.

("most" as in around 50% isn't good enough for me - if that's what it will turn out to be)
