Recap: Cash for Clunkers Twitter chat, August 4
Banovsky on August 4, 2009
Social media is such a cool thing that we're constantly evolving how we communicate. Take #carchat: the first few originated out of a spirited conversation. We applied that logic to a special discussion about Cash for Clunkers (aka CARS), and invited automobile manufacturers — as well as dealers — to chime in and let us know how the program is going.
Cash for Clunkers is a hot topic here on vLane, and we want to keep you up-to-date on the latest news and developments.
Since our recaps are ever-evolving, we've included it here on vLane as a discussion thread, and we feel it suits the nature of the discussion well — and you can see that we had a huge response! Enjoy!
So? What are you waiting for? Click through to the recap.

Best bumper sticker ever
Banovsky on August 4, 2009
MINI has always been a little different, a little out there, and even (occasionally) brutally honest.
So check out this bumper sticker, which is part of a Cash for Clunkers marketing package for dealers to use. We think it's brilliant.

Cash For Clunkers and CARS update
Banovsky on July 31, 2009
According to Autoblog.com, "H.R. 3435 just passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 316 to 109. This means the Cash for Clunkers bill is halfway to getting an influx of $2 billion, pending a vote by the Senate next week."
This means that the program should continue through this weekend.
Stay tuned to our discussion for continuing updates.

Upcoming: #carchat 21; July 29 @ 8PM EST
Banovsky on July 29, 2009
OH MY GOODNESS! I am a huge Formula 1 racing fan, and couldn't believe the news: Seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher will be replacing the injured Felipe Massa "until he is well." What does that mean? How well will he race after two years out of the cockpit? That and more on this week's #carchat!

What kind of car buyer are you?
Banovsky on July 27, 2009
This guest post was prepared by Tyler Elliston, co-founder and CEO of Carsala, an innovative service to help shoppers find the right used car.
By his own admission, when it comes to buying cars, he's an innovator — but previously an "old school" buyer. He loves cars, finding great deals, and devising new ways of doing things.
Are you the Old School, the Insider, the Obsessive Compulsive, or the Innovator when it comes to used car buying?
Old School
You begin to buy a car by first going to the dealership on the corner where you bought your last car, then go to a few other dealerships on Saturdays over the next few months (maybe even double check yourself by looking in the newspaper classifieds) and begin your negotiations for the car you decide you want by saying to the salesman, “I only want to spend $xxx on a monthly payment.”
Three to six months later, you are the somewhat proud owner of a car you are “okay” with. If you're reading this blog, we're guessing that's not you.
