That just goes to show that there are some really stupid people out there .

Incredibily stupid people with disposable incomes ?
Freakin' Morons.

Thanks for driving up the prices of used E24's...

OMG.. who's the fool who junked a 1992 GMC Typhoon?

Y? No one would buy a 2006 Roush Stage 3 F-150 for more than $5K?

Thanks for that Clod, I guess....

Excerpt from article: "At its creation, a 1997 Bentley Continental R was one of the most powerful and exclusive cars in the world, with every hand-built copy from the English countryside valued at $300,000 and beyond.

A few weeks back, the owner of one such Continental R decided it wasn’t worth more than $4,500, had its engine destroyed and shipped it to a junkyard with the rest of America’s clunkers."

And I was thinking the guy that traded the 08 Ford Super Duty was a tool.

Wow.

Article continues:

"Some enthusiasts would have paid many thousands of dollars for the rare 1987 Buick GNX destroyed under the program; only 547 were built."

OK THAT ticks me off 100X worse than the Bentley.....

" ...and the program also liberated 22 Americans from the burden of owning a Peugeot."

^That's just funny!

In my best Nancy Carrigan voice. "Why, Why, Why!"

Man, I would have given my right nut for the engine and all the special parts for that system! I was putting together a 4.3 for my El Camino and the engine alone with the turbo couldn't be had for less than about 8K at the time I was looking for it. What a shame!

Nothing wrong with killing french cars at all, but some government-git must have convinced alot of rich retards to destroy their extremely rare/ expensive cars 'for the sake of the enviroment' or some shiz like that.

Beggars belief, it really does- why not sell the car and purchase a whole fleet of ecofriendly replacements? **breath neil, breath!**

(I don't think we will either )

I would have sacrificed my prized Citroen, but it only has a 2 banger and gets 75 mpg hehe. Vive la Fr.... oh no wait.

Let's get to the root of this insanity... stumbled on this vid, thought youz would like it. At the risk of turning this even more political, here it be.
