Sad, but true. I am not going to beat a dead horse about cash for clunkers, but there is a major issue that does not concern us now, but will in the future. The dealerships
are now being forced to destroy perfectly good used motors from the cars the government destroys by putting a toxic chemical into the engine, running the car for 7 minutes,
and thus seizing the motor. Nobody seems to care that this is going to severly make engines unavailable for project cars or what not. And of course, people will say
gas guzzling post84 cars like Crown Victorias are not classics, but they are and now restorers will not be able to get engines. Sure, parts will be available, but what good is that
if we can't even use the engine? Major issue. In Germany, the cash for clunkers program overfilled landfills with used parts that no one was buying because they destroyed
most of the old cars. The US dealers are opposing this engine disposal scam simply because they don't want to pay the money to do it, but there is nothing they can do
because the President of the United States stipulated that the engine must be destroyed in the tacky bill he put on a war spending bill to ensure that no car was resold through fraud.
