My take on the Cash for Clunkers program is that anything assembled in the US should get the rebate.  Anything else should get minimal funding, maybe 50%.  Though, I must say, I think it’s doing a pretty good job at that already. 7 of the top 10 are assembled here. I have no clue on where the parts are coming from. I’d assume most everything is globally supplied at this point.

Autos made in the USA Has a list of where most of the cars are manufactured.

The Top 5 selling cars backed by CforC:

1. Ford Focus – Wayne, MI
2. Toyota Corolla – Fremont, Calif.
3. Honda Civic – Greensburg, Ind.
4. Toyota Prius -  Currently built in Japan and China, Soon to be Fremont, California due to it’s popularity.
5. Toyota Camry  – Georgetown, Ky.; Lafayette, Ind.
6. Ford Escape – Clayco, MO
7. Hyundai Elantra – ???
8. Dodge Caliber – Belvidere, IL
9. Honda Fit -  ???
10. Chevy Cobalt – Lordstown, Ohio

Now I guess we need to find out where that 1bil is coming from.

I race autocross in St Louis. It’s great fun and I’ve really learned how to push my automobile to it’s limits. One thing( among many) it’s lacking, is power…

So when I started racing last year, I wanted an easy modification for under $100 to give me a little umph. I bought some cheap aftermarket ram air intake. Basically, That just made it sound cool. that’s about it.

Last weekend I put a K&N filter in place of the old filter…. Wow. The car runs better, Zero Hesitation, I can’t wait for the first race this year… See if I can actually beat someone this year

See photos of their Corporate HQ in Riverside, California that is nearly 400,000 square feet.

∞Buy K&N filters for your Auto.
