New Car!! Now you don't hear that much from the McCraw's!

You may have hear of the "Cash for Clunkers" program from our wonderful government....we don't often get to participate in government programs, but this one is available to anyone who has the following:

A car that:

Gets less than 18 MPG
Is less than 25 yrs old
Has been registered and insured for the previous year

The Deal -

Find a car that gets 10 mpg more than your old "clunker" and the government will give the dealer $4500 as your trade-in. The dealer sends your "clunker" to the crusher - and gives you $4500 in cash towards your new car!


As you may already know, the McCraw clan tends to buy vehicles new and run them into the ground...and then, put new engines in them, and run them into the ground again.....we tend to keep cars 10 - 15 years. Have to get our money's worth!!!

So, one of our "airport cars" is a 1991 Chevy S10 Blazer....it's got 250K miles (two engines) and is worth about $200 scrap value. It does run, has rust spots, 2 of the windows don't work, etc.

I've made a deal on a new little car for me - a Saturn Astra - guess what color - drum roll please.....White! (all McCraw cars are white due to the long dirt road we live on!!)

Stock photo - we can't pick the car up until Friday because the program doesn't start until then...got a good deal and we'll shuffle cars around at the airports now.
