Cash for clunkers...FINAL NUMBERS 9-26-09

It seems to me that the older (sqarish, 80's to early 90's) F-150's and 250's are very popular around here for this program.  I found about 8 at two local dealerships with the death markings C4C on the windshield.  I'm gonna shiznit when I see an old lightning put up to be destroyed in favor of a Ranger Edge or some bullshiznit.

This one is pretty gory even though it is an older Chevy:

I was just at the bone yard today and saw 70-80 cars with C4C on them in the yard. They included:

98 V8 SHO:mad:
4 GT40 5.0 Explorers :mad:
a really, really nice 85 LTD Crown Victoria with 45,000 miles:mad:
96 Impalla SS:mad:
96 4.6 T-bird with 85,000 miles:mad:

It's just stupid.

There's video footage of a dealer's lot on YouTube. You can clearly see a black Lightning (pre-supercharged) and an '87 Mustang 5.0.

I was at the Salvage yard last weekend and saw several GT40 explorers and other nice vehicles. What a waste! All of the C4C vehicles had bright pink spray paint all over the engines. And they had signs posted that any engine part with pink paint cant be sold.  What a waste. All of this so it can be remade into a 2011 Hyundai.  AARGHH!

People have NO CLUE what theyre sitting on!!!!!!!

My four year old daughter, Coira, just walked up and looked at this video, having no idea what the video was about or anything about C4C (as you would imagine. She's 4.). She saw the fork-lift carrying the truck and what did she say?

"There's nothing wrong with that car. Why's it at the fixer?"

From the mouths of babes!

Oh dear. Maybe it'll get lucky and it won't start when it's time to destroy the engine.
