Yeah I know what you mean I saw in one lot a (I'm fairly certain) 2003 BMW M3 just as the guy was adding the liquid glass stuff. This is proof that green usually means death to performance I guess. http://images.ford-trucks.com/forums...lies2/dead.gif

wow, i had no idea they were destroying the cars. If the government really wanted to lookout for its people they would take these cars that were still decent and give them to needy families or something. Its kinda sad to think how many good f150's were probably put to sleep. so sad.......

I bet alot of those "Clunkers" were in decent running shape they might not look pretty but if they run reasonably reliably then why not sell them to the needy?
Or a different idea if Obama is so hardcore about not letting these things back on the roads. 100 days of nationwide demolition derby! Let the cars die with some honor and dignity!

Agree with what hybris said add a little more fun instead of more government money into the CARS programs.
