Another one?!?! There is a picture almost identical to this in the lounge, but it's a blue FC. Pretty lame, I say.

the F-ed up thing is, they put a chemical in the engine that destroys it for good, and they HAVE to crush it....so no parting that out either. Good news is RX-7 are not on the new(as of July 24th) eligible list

that program is a joke, dealers have even said that in more than just a couple of cases they put the chemicals in then the people are denied....and the dealers have not seen any of the money yet....

Is it because the combined EPA rating was recalculated to higher than 18mpg? With a city/hwy of 17/24 it should have never been on there at all, ya?

I think that pic is fake. Look at the shadow of the dumpster, there is no FC shadow.

they destroy the engines in the "cash for clunkers" cars, then everything but the engine goes to junkyards.

you can find video's of how they destroy the engines, pretty interesting.
