Turn the volume up!!!! This was done to cause "severe internal engine damage caused by running the engine with a sodium silicate (liquid glass) solution instead of oil". This is what happens to the vehicles turned in under the governments CARS program (aka cash for clunkers). A connecting rod broke through the back of the block and the oil got onto the hot cat. converter and caught fire immediately after the engine stopped.

  • My truck was ineligible due to age. So when all these newer SAFER vehicles were traded in and destroyed it only left the older BIG vehicles and new small ones on the roads.

    Way to make the roads safer dumbasses.

    My 1983 F150 has a 351 in it LOL, see you on the roads, keep your Smartcars and Aveos the hell out of my way.

  • i know the cash for clunkers thing is good and all, but doesnt it seem better to get more of a use out of an oder car that runs fine, then to destroy it and get a new car even with the help from this program? im never going to do this to my truck even when it does get old. id rather trade it in, and have it put to better use while its still got life in it then to destroy it.

  • Aww they got scared and turned the camera away. Don't waste your time watching, nothing happens.

  • Obamas better idea for change.. what an ignorant dipshit... a perfectly good vehicle someone could have traded in an older car in for something safer, cleaner and probably better on emissions than what they had. Of course, that wouldn't satisfy the billions needed to 'jumpstart' the auto industry without saying we were giving them a lump of cash to bail them out. Remember this in 2012 Obama when your unemployed.. Ron Paul in 2012 not just for change, but for legal change.

  • How nice it would be to see some of the government people hangin on their genitals.....

  • @mariofreak91

    Because she sheeple only hear what they are told to hear. 

  • @mariofreak91 The only people who watch these are either people who love random destruction, want to see youtube lulz, or rednecks who want a reason to cry like a baby. Mostly the latter.

  • In other words, that wasa shtty ass car that got killed.

  • How come hardly anyone here understands that the point of the program was to eliminate these cars from running ever again?

  • @ferretbri sounds like what i did but i was told to do it to a 94 M edition miata it ran fine had 65K on it an old lady was the owner she died and her kids sold it to cash for clunkers everything was fine the only thing is it didnt have a key but that was a really easy fix but i told my boss the engine was blown and the bought the car for $100 i got a title for it inspected and registered and showed up in it a week later i got fired that day lol

  • @ferretbri shoulda talked to the person turning it in then.. like the mother-to-be that's about to have an abortion.

  • Well. Its also the costumers stupiditys fault too. Why would the costumer want to trade a good running van to get him/her self to DEBT again. Now thats stupid, This Obama is bad, BUT on the other hand he THOUGHT people were gonna trade in their TRUE clunker! Like a beat up 83 van. Thats what Obama was MEANT to think this would be.
