not just the engine, nothing can be re used, not a thing, no body parts, no drums, no windshields nothing, nada.

They are taking the first steps to get more people using public transportation or riding bikes as in other third world countries.
That’s right. With fewer used cars available, the price of new ones is driven up and those who can’t afford them or can’t get their hands on a used one will have to walk, ride a bike or take public transportation where available. In time, prolly a short time, the feds will levy a special environmental tax when a private vehicle owner sells his vehicle to another private party. Further, I believe the government will simultaneously pass legislation making it illegal for dealers to take trade-ins of vehicles that don’t get a certain (arbitrary) number of miles per gallon. Although no more hoopties might be a nice thing aesthetically, a lot of people who need inexpensive cars to get to work simply will not be able to get them.
