Ok so I've been looking for a new car with this new incentive "Cash for Clunkers" deal going on. And I ran upon this!
HELL I'LL TAKE THE CLUNKER!
Clunker in Italian
Italian sports cars. They're sweet rides. But don't get in the driver's seat without your mechanic's number on speed dial. Well, somewhere in Colorado, a mechanic is weeping.
A frustrated owner of a cool but unreliable Maserati accepted $3,500 in U.S. taxpayer funds as part of the Cash for Clunkers program — after he couldn't sell the lemon himself. The wildly successful government-run program probably hadn't figured on an Italian sports car getting a bailout, but hey, that's a loophole we can appreciate.
Word of the Euro-car being trashed caused immediate Web searches on "maserati clunker." The Italian wheels were switched out for a used Subaru. That's the spirit. Who needs a car that screams mid-life crisis when you could be driving a station wagon.
For those of you in the market for a rare 1985 Biturbo — described by Weekly Driver as a pristine condition model with only 18,000 miles on it, tricked out with a leather, suede and wood interior — sorry, you're out of luck. Like all cars in the Cash for Clunkers program, this one will be headed to the junkyard and crushed.
Oh, by the way: We'll be bringing our Rolls Royce to trade in next week. Piece of junk.
YEP I'd take the clunker!
