What the HELL is up with the price of cars?

Well that makes since. Get a diesel big fuck of a truck, get a million miles on it. Hell buy a military duce and a half for like a dollar at a government auction tow the fuck out of earth right to the center of the sun.

These greedy Satanic NWO monsters are going to answer to the Lord Jesus Christ soon enough. Ruining perfectly good cars on purpose at tax payers expense that people would love to have and drive. MAKES ME SICK! GREEDY BABYLON THE GREAT IS ABOUT READY TO FALL, PERMANENTLY!



Romans 12:19 King James Version (KJV)

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Cash for Clunkers: How to destroy an engine.

Published on Jul 29, 2009

"This is a video document showing how to seize an engine under the Cash for Clunkers program...After draining the engine oil the vehicle is filled with approximately two-three quarts of salt/water/silica mix. The vehicle is then started and ran till the engine seizes. Enjoy!"




This Is Too Absurd To Even Describe

The government doesn't want to take the chance that they'll be accused of doing what they are doing, which is giving a $4,500 gift to consumers and car companies in the form of the Cash For Clunkers bailout.

So the government has to keep pretending that Cash For Clunkers is about the environment. Which is why the government is insisting that all those perfectly good "clunkers" that get only slightly worse gas mileage than the new cars people are buying be "killed."

The clunkers can't just be crushed, because then a frugal former owner might fish out some parts and use them again. They have to be completely wasted.

To this end the government has come up with an innovative way to make sure that every last scrap of the clunker is rendered worthless: pour two quarts of sodium silicate (liquid plastic) into the engine and run it for a while.

All this car-killing, in turn, is driving the price of old engines and parts through the roof (for people who didn't accept the bribe and buy a new car). It's also driving the market for the clunker-killing agent, sodium silicate, through the roof.

Kevin Helliker, WSJ: odium silicate is the designated agent of death for cars surrendered under the federal cash-for-clunkers program. To receive government reimbursement, auto dealers who offer rebates on new cars in exchange for so-called clunkers must agree to "kill" the old models, using a method the government outlines in great detail in its 136-page manual for dealers: Drain the engine of oil and replace it with two quarts of a sodium-silicate solution.

"The heat of the operating engine then dehydrates the solution leaving solid sodium silicate distributed throughout the engine's oiled surfaces and moving parts," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publication. "These solids quickly abrade the bearings causing the engine to seize while damaging the moving parts of the engine and coating all of the oil passages."

Wait until you hear what Bob Lutz has to say about this (yes, that Bob Lutz, the former GM car design god):

"I, like, have so not even ever heard of this before."

Neither has anyone else. Which is why even the folks who stock sodium silicate had to call around and confirm that the sudden crush of buyers were serious--that the stuff could actually be used to destroy cars.

Now Trump...

i have a big bass boat and a 22ft camper, if you try to pull them with a Tacoma you go through tranny's [not that kind of tranny] and differentials like underwear, i found that out the hard way. Now that i have the bigger Titan 5.6liter full size, I haven't had a single issue and you hardly know you're towing anything. It rides 6 people and four in spacious comfort and gets 18mpg highway. I pulled a fully loaded camper up Pikes peak last summer and it didn't even strain, practically idled at the posted 30mph..375hp,385ft pounds of torque

it's worth every dime

Did you kill yourself after buying a CAMPER?

Lost me at “hauling garbage.”

This ain’t Mad Max.

BEARS!!!

It rediculous. 80k for a new Chevrolet pickup. 190k for a New Rangerover?
Even a used Hyundai Sante Fe is 23k.
Toyota Tundra- fuggetaboutit..
Just a couple of examples, I'm not buying a new car again.

Ew. Go back to the chat room you were found in.

Several words, new car smell and crispy seats. Thats it, thats why I buy new, but only from a few select brands, most are complete and utter garbage these days. For real work and labor buy used, for a little flash and comfort driving long distances I get crispy new things right out of the wrapper.

I bought a 1995 4wd ranger with a supercab for 4 grand. Works great towing my 1973 quachita 15 foot v-hull with a 1974 Johnson outboard. Now you may say I'm poor white trash but I actually own these things

tell your boss you need a huge raise.

Update: OP is single credit addicted Appalachian who has the wherewithal to drive either of those two vehicles around.

Grand Marquis and Sugar Free=no pleasure for he

You have to already be dead inside

I just "built" me a Range Rover on their website and get this, total price with everything I selected is $252,656.

Over a quarter of a Million Dollars for a fuckin POS Range Rover! One of the biggest rolling pieces of crap on the road.

I make more than 200k a year, I am not spending 1/4 of my income on a damn car or truck..

New thread (who wants to start it?): I live in Appalachia and demand a new vehicle and have no income or job besides “leasing my land” and evading taxes.

Everything is grossly overpriced nowadays. We've seen way too much inflation in prices since at least 2001.

Meanwhile wages have increased very little if any. Hell most people are making less now then during the 1980's and 1990's when the economy was actually good and jobs paid much better and we're much easier to get.

All the while prices of everything have skyrocketed and jobs have gotten shittier with shittier pay and harder to get.

How great it'd be to go back to the 20th century when everything was so much better.

Shit is getting more expensive.
