Cash for Clunkers: destroying a perfectly good FJ62

[lacruiser]

If this doesn't piss you off, nothing will.....



YouTube - Cash for Clunkers- 1989 Land Cruiser 77k miles


I watched this, then watched them destroy a very nice 1993 BMW 530i right after. Tough car, that one.


What a total crock this program is. there has to be a better way than this.

They drain the oil, then pour in a water/silica mix that essentially locks the engine up when it warms up.

Sad.....

Unbelieveable. That was very sad. Most of the ones I have seen deserved to be destroyed, but to see some very clean cars/trucks being destroyed is horrible.

Classic example of spending a dollar to save a dime mentality.

Meanwhile, those that can't afford car payments see a shrinking supply of used engines...
