(FILES) A "Cash-for-Clunkers" 4-wheel-drive vehicle sits in a dumpster outside Koons Ford in Baltimore, Maryland, August 10, 2009, advertising that they are participating in the program by the US government. US household spending jumped 1.3 percent in August, driven by auto sales helped by the "cash for clunkers" incentives, government data showed on October 1, 2009. The rise in spending came as incomes rose 0.2 percent in the month, according to data from the Commerce Department. The pickup in spending reflected the "clunkers" program that offered government incentives to trade in old vehicles for newer, more fuel-efficient models. Sales of durable goods, which include cars and appliances, rose a hefty 5.8 percent in the month. AFP Photo/Paul J. Richards/FILES
