Disabling the engine on cash for clunkers. Volvo is super tough!
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
That car appears to be in mint condition, both the body and the engine compartment. What a country it is with Rats in charge.
Where is (are?) all those emissions going?
This is nuts.
Imagine what people living in poor nations must think if they watch this video of us actually destroying perfectly good engines. Did this idea originate with Timothy Geithner? Who thought it was alright to DESTROY perfectly good engines?
They consider that a clunker? Jeeze...
Cash for Clunkers is wasteful.
Cash for Clunkers does not recycle, but instead destroys parts which could be used again.
The people who came up with this stupid program deserve nothing but ridicule.
There is nothing good to come out of this at all, it wastes taxpayer dollars, it wastes property that still has value, it goes against the entire grain of recycling and using resources wisely, it actually wastes energy, as new cars must be produced for every car that is destroyed!
I don’t get what happened there. Looks like a cryin’ shame.....even a crime. Why’d they wreck that Volvo? Just to participate in “cash for clunkers”? Disgusting.
This makes me think, even if I was inclined to trade in any of my cars, I wouldn’t because I would hate to see anyone do this to any of them. I guess I get attached.
This is right out of FDR's playbook.
Glenn Beck touched on this a couple of days ago.
FDR ordered 10 million acres of cotton burned in order to drive up the price of cotton even though there were people who could barely afford clothes.
He ordered 6 million pigs killed in order to drive up the price of pork even though people could barely afford to buy food.
There are other examples I'm sure.
according to the rules of CARS the only thing that can be done to the trade in’s is to destroy them which is ashame but we all know who made the rules.
This would be a great commercial to advertise Obama’s health care program Cash for Grannies.
Come to think of it, why stop with cars??
Instead of giving our slightly used clothes to Goodwill, the Red Cross or the Salvation Army, let’s cut them up and throw them away (cutting them up insures that some enterprising person can’t salvage them from the trash and attempt to sell them for a profit... can’t have that!).
Then, the gov’t can send out lots and lots of Cash for Clothes checks!
That should stimulate all sorts of jobs in the otherwise defunct U.S. garment industry (money can only be spent on clothes that are made in the U.S. of course, good luck finding those!).
Moving on, let’s open every can of food in our pantries and grind-up the food in the diposal!
No need to donate to a soup kitchen or food bank!
The gov’t can send out Cash for Cans (cans of food that is).
That should really help the farmers (and fisherman if you include tuna and sardines!!). Presto, agriculture is back!
And of course, the next step would be houses. Instead of letting someone buy a foreclosed house for a low price that they can afford, let’s bulldoze every vacant house in America!
Then, the gov’t can send out Cash for Condos!
Imagine the construction jobs we’ll “create”!! (btw, they are already doing that with the $8K tax credit)
Wait, there’s more! How about tearing up all of the perfectly good roads!?! Rebuilding those could keep people employed for the next couple of decades!!
Wow, this is easy! Just destroy, destroy, destroy and pay for brand new stuff with other people’s money (or borrow more $$ from our friends in China).
So glad that someone as smart as Obama, Pelosi and Reid (and Frank, don’t forget Frank) finally figured out how to fix our economy.
We are in SUCH good hands.
Not.
I just realized where I’ve seen this before.

This made me sick, but thanks just the same.
What the bumer should have done is make them turn in Foreign Cars and require them to buy American Cars.
Up the gas stack of the steel mill making the parts for the next car to replace this perfectly good one.
Insane liberalism strikes again...
Where, oh where, is AL GORE when we need him?? Save the Planet!!!! Al?? Are you there??
Reminds me of a spoiled brat kid in our neighborhood that purposely blew his engine so daddy would buy him a new vehicle. I laughed everytime I watched that boy walk to his part time job (to pay for another car) for the next year.
