The Affordable CAR Act of 2014

The Affordable CAR Act of 2014

The U.S. government has just passed
a new law entitled “The Affordable CAR Act”
declaring that every citizen MUST purchase
a new car by April, 2014.

These ‘affordable’ cars will cost an average
of $54,000-$155,000 each.
This does not include taxes, tags, registration,
fuel, maintenance, or repair costs.

This law has been passed because, until now,
typically only wealthy and financially responsible
people have been able to purchase cars.
This new law ensures that every American can
now have an ‘affordable’ car of their own,
because everyone is ‘entitled’ to a new car.

If you purchase your car before the end of the year,
you will receive four ‘free’ tires -
(does not include mounting and balancing).

In order to make sure everyone quickly purchases
an ‘affordable car,’ the cost of owning a car will
increase on average of 250-400% per year.
This way, wealthy people will pay more for something
that other people don’t want
or can’t afford to maintain.

To be fair people who can’t afford to maintain
their car will be regularly fined
and children (under the age of 26) can use their
parents car(s) to drive until they turn 27,
after which date they must purchase their own car.

If you already have a car, you cannot keep it and
must purchase a new one.
If you don’t want or don’t need a car,
you are required to buy one anyhow.

If you refuse to buy a new car or can’t afford one,
you will be regularly fined $800 until you purchase one,
or face imprisonment.

If you cannot (or don’t want to) purchase an ‘affordable
car’ from a private business,
you can buy a starter car from the U. S. government's
‘affordable car exchange.’
Such a car will have the basic necessities
and will only cost ‘slightly more’
than a similar car purchased from a private business.
Your tax dollars will subsidize the purchase of a car
from the U. S. government’s ‘affordable car exchange,’
it will appear that you are getting a good deal.

Failure to use the car will also result in fines.
People living in areas with no access to roads
Are Not Exempt.
Pre-existing conditions such as age, motion sickness,
experience, knowledge, nor lack of desire
Are Not Acceptable Excuses For Not Using Said Car.

A government review board will decide everything,
including when, where, how often,
and for what purposes you can use your car,
along with how many people can ride in your car.

The board will also determine if one is too old
or healthy enough to be able to use their car,
and will also decide if your car has out lived
its usefulness or if you must purchase specific
accessories like spinning rims
or a newer and more expensive car.

Those that can afford luxury cars will be required
to do so … it’s only fair.

The government will also decide the color for each
car.
Failure to comply with these rules will result in
fines and possible imprisonment.

Government officials are exempt from this new law.
If they want a car,
they and their families can obtain any car free
at the expense of tax payers.
This includes lifetime maintenance
and automatic adjustments for fuel charges.

Unions, Bankers, Political Parties and mega companies
with large political affiliations ($$$)are exempt.
Muslims, Hindus, Buddaests, Hari Cristners, Mormons,
Amish and Benny Hen followers are also exempt.

GMC content?

On my church net we don't permit any GMC content ( or Politics either) just religious/spiritual commentary.

Why? Because we are only interested in supporting each other in our search for how God wants us to live. We are not clones and we respect each others point of view. We do not believe that it is supportive to remind each other of our different views on many other topics.

'nuff said!

That was funny. I needed a chuckle for the day. Thanks.

Maybe I can get a new GMC motorhome under this law.

I have never bought a vehicle that went up in value before. I'm wondering what this law will do to the resale value of my old GMC.

Just before Cash for Clunkers was announced I bought a used 2005 Colorado for $6000. Now 4 years and 45,000 miles later it is worth $10,000. The values of our GMC Jimmy and Chevy Blazer also are higher.

I wonder how this law will affect the values of my current GMC and my pickup.

In the upper right corner of the post you can select "Ignore all messages by this user"; that's what I chose.
