Anyone that hasn't already seen the senseless destruction of viable vehicles on YouTube needs to log on and watch it for themselves.I personally watched the videos of a Toyota truck,Olds Aurora and a Volvo 850 having the sodium silicate solution poured into their engines and ran at full throttle until they siezed up.Now I'm not a big GM or Toyota fan {I do have a weak spot for Volvos } but that's not the point.Any one of those cars was better than the 95 Escort I currently drive.And that Volvo video was absolutely heartbreaking! That turbo motor held on and ran with pedal to floor for longer than any of the other cars.It's like rewarding vandalism.Granted,every car aint cool like my 5 speed Aries coupe.But every running car has a use.And to deliberately destroy it is wrong.When this program first began I was worried about what would become of all the old K cars.Fairmonts and Monzas that I grew up with.Well,turns out most of them aint eligible.That's good.But what's going on with other perfectly useable cars is bad! Sure,there aint much cool about a 4 door Cavalier,but somebody needs it!
On a seperate,but related not I sold new/used cars for several lots since the 90s and I can tell you that the majority of folks who drive these "clunkers" do so for a reason.Either they can't afford a car payment,they have bad credit or both{like me}Many times a salesman or manager will jump the gun and "put someone in a car" before the deal is done or"bought" by the finance company.Then the deal falls through several days or even weeks later and the customer has to return the new car and take their trade back.This is a fairly common occurrence,especially at big volume lots.Well what will these customers do when they return to find that their old car has been turned into a 3,000 lb pile of junk?
Anyway,I could go on for hours.Just remember that your compassionate Democrats along with president Muhamed brought you this carnage.Along with 10% unemployment',Fiat/ChryslerGuv'ment Motors{Kill Pontiac ,the only cool GM product} a racist Supreme Court Justice,And Guv'ment healthcare is right around the corner.Has anyone priced a handgun or ammo lately? Man,that Volvo video was like watchin' somebody beat a horse to death.It just kept on tryin' till it was done. What a bunch of assholes!
