my car has 195,000 miles on it, my husbands 140,000....we always run our cars way up in miles...
so the thought of just destroying perfectly good running cars is blasphemy to me....
we as a society waste so much....
I thought the key words were "reduce" "resuse" and "recyle"... destroying good cars is not good for the enviroment let alone the economy and is just plain stupid and silly...
You got a ways to go.. lowest miles on a car in our fleet is 203,000.. highest, 392,000...
Cars last a long.. long.. long time.
Both of our high mile cars qualified for cash for clunkers. One is a V8 powered 3/4 van, the other a large V6 powered SUV..
They won’t be recycled till they are dead.. Both are still going strong on their original untouched power plants and transmissions.
They build them a hell of a lot better now. 100,000 miles is hardly broke in.
“I’m a recycler”
BINGO! Many cars that don’t run very well and are junked have lots of parts that are just fine and can be re-used. That includes fenders, bumpers, starters, doors, seats, solenoids, etc., etc., etc.
Instead, Mr. “I won” decided on his own to just delete all those cars/parts because his buddies needed a new ride!
Mostly, this program was just a waste by the worst example of an environmentalist that one could ever conjure.
when the shtf people won’t have the self-restraint to use dwindling resources efficiently.
