The Classic Car Senate passed legislation today that would reward Americans with up to $5,000 in tax incentives to scrap old, inefficient senators and representatives.
We need new senators, said Classic Car majority leader Pontiac GTO, Old senators are polluting our air and using up our resources at an astounding rate. Lets get some new, young senators inside the beltway who spout out less hot air and dont consume as many cheeseburgers.
The move was backed by an overwhelming majority of classic automobiles.
Its about time this legislation passed, said Oldsmobile 442, Im excited about the influx of recycled material that will become available when these old senators are crushed and melted down. Now thats what I call going green.
The new legislation, HR-101.4, provides Americans who scrap older model senators with up $5,000 in tax rebates on the election of a new, smaller, more efficient senator.
These old senators have ruled Washington so long that people dont know whats good for them anymore, said Chevrolet Chevelle SuperSport, Classic Car senator from Michigan, Itll do my heart good to see these guys rounded up, cut to pieces and possibly shipped overseas to countries in need of their raw materials.
Other American automobiles opposed the bill, unwilling to let go of their old lawmakers.
I just like things the way he had them, said Toyota Corolla of West Palm Beach, Florida, My old Senator knows how to raise some taxes can stall a bill in congress for eight years. You cant get that out of a new senator.
Others questioned why a congress of classic muscle cars was pushing to scrap older people.
I tried to ask Senator Plymouth Superbird why he was so interested in scrapping old senators, said Toyota Prius, But I couldnt catch up to him. Im not anywhere near as fast off the line and my top speed doesnt even come close.
Classic Car Senators did confirm speculation that the bill was crafted in response to Representative Henry Waxman and his scrappage legislation.
Want to get us old clunkers off the road, huh Waxman? said Buick GSX, Before you can make us into tin cans, well have you guys pureed into Soylent Green.
One more important message to our old senators, added Representative Mercury Cyclone, We are prettier, louder, and faster. Dont mess with us.
