    Glad to see this thread calm back down. Amazing how politics can even (and still) infiltrate something as innocent as Geocaching. 😕

    [Rant]

    I could not with a clear conscience ever spend $4500 that future generations to come will need to pay off. An ill conceived $850 million “plan” that got $2 billion more added to it?

    Kat hit the nail on the head when she said how many are going to be repossessed in 9 months? 😆

    Considering the fact that it’s harder than ever to get credit, I think most people buying these cars will be people like my wife and I that have good credit and the ability to pay, but were just unsure about buying another new car in this economy. Had this deal not come along, I know we would have gone with a used car for around $10k at best. Now we can get a new car, with a 100k warranty for the exact same payment as that $10k used car with no warranty.

    I’m not defending the bill, but hell if I’m not taking advantage of something I’m going to be paying for anyway.

    I’m not sure that I agree with the program, as there are many pro’s an con’s to it, but I am taking advantage of it. The lease is up on the wifes car, and my old Geo-Jimmy is just rotting in the drive. Her car has to be back by Sept. 5th (extended the lease 2 months) so within the next week or so, we’re trading in the Geo-Jimmy on this program to score her a new Kia Soul. We qualified for the $4500 rebate!

    Enjoy it TyeDye, I’ll be working a long time to pay off my share of it. By the way, I have a hot date coming up Saturday night. I’ll need it for a few hours. 😀

    We all will, that’s why I’m using it. The money is going to be spent whether I take it or not, so I might as well!

    WOW! Congrats BQ. An amazing achievement to say the least.

    Very true, there are many dangers in geocaching. I just don’t see the point in adding to that danger when it can be avoided by simply using a different material for your container.

    The best example I can give is that glass breaks easily in winter and can barely be seen in the snow. Had a plastic jar been used, there would be no problem.

    Glass and geocaching don’t mix.
