Sorry if this has already been posted, haven't been around much lately. Too nice outside.
This is what "cash for clunkers" is doing. It is sickening. At least part the cars out. That was a very used C4 but great parts engine they destroyed. Same for the pick up truck.
Makes me sick.

I agree, I once donated a car to charity. There has got to be some people who can use these cars.

Why don't they strip it down and salvage as many parts as they can and sell them to a scrapyard, job creation right there.

That ole girl didn't go down willing. She lasted for a good minute. The exhaust actually sounded good before the mugging.

Not easy to watch. I wonder how many lethal toxins are being put into the air by this great program during each car's destruction. If I put that much smoke into the air in my county, they'd give me a free ride to jail.
