Disabling the engine on cash for clunkers. Volvo is super tough!

[riverrunner]

You are so right I have brought a lot of cars for under 2000 dollars and driven a few years each.

How many of these people who are doing this program really can afford a new car.

I see a collapse of the car leading depts just as the housing market went when all these people realize they can't afford to make the payments on there new car.

the government just drove the price of used cars up making harder for people who need cheap transportation to get it.

[WVNight]

I am abhorred over these videos. At the end of them you can usually hear some flunky snickering in the background. The level of moral ineptitude in the country has got to come to an end. Sharpen your pitch forks folks. We're going to need them.

You think that’s bad, wait unti “Cash for Croakers” hit under Obama Care...

“Get $10 for Grandma, and if Grandpa is an old white republican get $25k...”

[tophat9000]

Strip the people of limited income of access to lower cost basic transportation... make them totally depended on government provided transportation...

Obama making individual success and movement up the ladder impossible... Dem/Socialist SOP

[rawhide]

Yes, the car looks to be in mint condition as you said. What a shame!

[rawhide]

Anyone know what year this Volvo is and what make? Thanks.

That's it in a nutshell

The Overlords don't want cheap transportation available.

Then everyone would have it.

You can't destroy the economy one cut at a time if you give “cash for clunkers” and don't destroy the perfectly good cars that are turned in.

Or part them out, that would make other 5-15 yr “old” cars that get only 20MPG able to be fixed.

In California the voters voted in billions of dollars for a high speed train...lol get on it, it-—along with other bright ideas of the politicians—will speed us right into poverty!

Well, except for the elite Politburo of course...they even will get gold plated bandaids with Obama’s picture on them while the rest of us can just use a paper towel.

I think they have a master plan...and they are the Masters.

[IncPen]

These are sacrifices at the altar of a cult religion.

We should be very, very concerned about this.

[Fresh Wind]

As someone who has, on occasion, spent hours under the hood of a car trying to keep it running properly, I find this outrageous and sickening. Only a democRat could think of something this stupid.

[9YearLurker]

It’s yet another tax on low-income Americans. And this one particularly takes income from them and props up the uncompetitive, overpaid and bloated, auto unions turned auto manufacturers.

[Tim n Texas]

“That car appears to be in mint condition, both the body and the engine compartment. What a country it is with Rats in charge.”

The seller is also an idiot. That car was probably worth more than $4500.

[Syncro]

I knew I saw this somewhere...

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

That is infuriating. A perfectly good engine ruined for no good reason other than class/car envy. God I hate the government.

The lefties seem to like watching perfectly good engines die... read the comments of the mouth breathers who love 0bama.

I think it was a 2000 Volvo. One poster at YouTube said, "I'm pretty sure that this is a year 2000 Volvo S80. It's aluxury car with a turbocharged 2.8 liter 6-cylinder. See all the air intake hoses? Some are going to a front-mounted turbo intercooler." The idiot mechanics make me sick. It's like watching doctors intentionally kill their patients and laugh about how long it takes to die. Sickening.

This is maddening to those of us with kids approaching driving time. We seek out cars like this — old, safe — for our kids to drive!!

That would be one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while. A perfectly good car with many miles of service left and these idiots destroy it. Why? So that a few useless thugs from the UAW can work 1 more hour on their jobs.

Based on some numbers on another post, it'll take 7 or more years at a savings of 5 MPG to make up for the amount of energy wasted replacing a vehicle like this. I guess wasting energy is OK when it benefits brain-dead libtards.
