Default DAMN YOU CASH FOR CLUNKERS!

ARGH!

So I walk the yard here at Pick-N-Pull sometimes 2-3 times a week scouting for that 1994 4.2 Audi V8 totaled by a rear end collision .

These last few weeks Pick N Pull has been receiving hundreds of the junk Cash for Clunkers cars.

Walking the yard today and what do I find? No, not a 1994 4.2, but a 1997 A8! Pop the hood and see pink paint! AHHHHHHHH! How delusional must a person to see an A8 as a clunker? >.<

That, and at the end of the yard was a 1991 200 20V T with a painted motor. Yeah, I did just say that. Such a waste. I can't gripe to much about the 200 20V because although its a great car, I now have a beautiful front seat, and front Bose speakers.

A painted pink motor signifies that Sodium Silicate (liquid glass) has been used in place of oil. They run it in the car at idle until the car no longer runs..

You'll be even more pissed to know that 2 1985 UR-Q's were clunked.

people are unbelievably stupid nowadays. They could have sold those cars for more than the $4500 "credit" they were getting by trading them. Then they could have actually bargained on the price of a new car. I know a few people who did the cash for clunkers deal. No bargaining whatsoever. Thats the price, trade in your junk and get $4500 off of full retail price. What a scam. I'll would love to see my 88 5000 in a head on with a new corolla. those cars are completely disposable.

Wow, how many came to the US ? The real Ur coupe, or just a Coupe GT?

I have seen early A8s at the yards, and they all have blown trannies. Makes them worthless to fix up, so they get parted out... for me hehe
