What is the over & under on how long it will be before the envirogreenies sue over the chemicals being put deliberately into these engines?
This wanton destruction is beyond stupid.
From the crushing operations they re showing on TV, not even tail lights, trunk tops, or anything is being saved.

That worries me also. No parts for backyard mechanics?...No classic car parts?
Odinga is at the top of my shit list!
I think I’ve found a possible link between this and another enviro progect that actually is an invasion of personal privacy and your wallet:
HINT - this won’t affect old cars!

Oregon considers subbing mileage tax for gas tax
The governor endorses the program, which would install GPS devices in every new car and free the state from the problem of falling gasoline tax revenue. Some drivers worry about privacy.

Reporting from Portland, Ore. — For years, Oregon has been diligent about reducing the state’s dependence on fossil fuels, but its environmental consciousness has come at a stunning price — gas tax revenue is down $4.8 million a year compared with 2006.
That drop, caused by lower fuel consumption and a slowing economy, has prompted Oregon to consider a new way to pay for road repairs: Democratic Gov. Theodore R. Kulongoski’s upcoming budget calls for a highway tax based on mileage, not gasoline purchases.
A state task force will look at equipping every new vehicle in Oregon with a Global Positioning System to record every mile driven and where. Motorists would pay at the gas pump based on how much they drove, no matter how fuel-frugal their vehicle.
The plan still requires legislative endorsement and the full details could take several years to work out, but state analysts said the governor’s endorsement is a crucial step toward solving what has become a problem in many states: dependence on a gasoline tax. (more at link)
More to the point... this could be construed as a national security issue as well on several levels.
1. Most military vehicles engines are accessable from the outside and most don’t even have locks. If you have sabatuers use this silicate mixture on vehicles used by our military... well... use your imagination.
2. Insurgents could use this technique to disable vehicles on critical roads and areas to slow down emergency response to attacks or other emergencies.
Basically, this administration has handed a weapon to the bad guys...
