CLUNK: How One Bad Website Ruined a Perfectly Wonderful Program
It seems the Cash Free Tax Bonanzas For Clunkers Arbitrarily Doomed Property program was a success, if by success we mean lots of people took money that was given to them. The program’s website (Cars.gov), however, doesn’t have a very high MPG rating. So to speak. Masses of dealers are unable to enter their reimbursement claims due to the website’s awfulness. Pressed for comment, The Man said, “Oh boo hoo hoo.”

PS: Isn’t it a little bit sad that a broken website dominates one of the most competitive keywords?
