briancol 3 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 Watch and weep The cars traded in the American Cash for Clunkers program had to have their engines disabled. They did this by draining the oil and filling with a mixture of water, silica and sand. Then reved them until they seized. But the Beemer took a lot of killing.

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) I haven't seen it before. But wtf.. wouldn't they more beneficial to sell the motor instead of seizing what seems to be a perfectly fine running motor then left with a giant paper weight. Horrible.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted January 19, 2010 Is this the one where they do burnouts in it too? I'd looove that car. it's manual too? at least the Cash for Clonkers program is over. The guy actually found cars that shouldn'tve been there in the first place (one requirement that was the car got less than 18mpg) he frequently found cars OBC's getting like 20+mpg.
