FYI - "Silicone", even if it is part of the solution put into the engine, is not an abrasive and has nothing to do with destroying the engine. The abrasive and binding agent is sodium silicate that seizes up all lubricated sliding surfaces like crank bearings and cylinder walls, etc. WSJ article

Yes The engines have been permanently locked tight with silicone hardener and the cars are being crushed. This not only removes the cars themselves from the market but their parts. Removing those parts will make it harder and more expensive to keep and older car running.Elitist arrogance run wild-”take the bus you proletariat fool”. Of course if you do not live in a densely populated city center you can walk or take a bike miles to and from work– you are but the proletariat riff raff.

This Tuesday the Auto Industry reports comes out-we shall see how they are doing. With Cash for Clunkers ending and the cost of used cars up I am expecting a crash. With Cash for Clunkers quite a few people gave up their cars for less than market value and often paid full Window Sticker less pure fluff “Dealer Incentives” for the new car.

If you have to sell a decent running older car try CraigsList.com or the AutoTrader.com. You will do better.

What I secretly like best about CFC is the glut of “clunkers” I want to own that are now on the used car market.

Huh? The engines have been permanently locked tight with a silicone hardener.

It’s going to do more than run the dealers out of business if The Won keeps spending money like a drunken sailor on leave.

In fairness to drunken sailors, they are spending their money. The government is spending our money.
