BUT what kind of lawyerese junk is fed into auto company heads that has them destroying these kinds of cars? Build them, just to destroy them? They build them in Hungary, ship them all the way to Hawaii to show them, then ship them all the way back to Hungary to crush them? That sounds like economical and "sound" business practice!?! I say ship'em to my town to show them, and leave the rest to me. I can't stand to see such waste. Can you imagine those beautiful things being crushed? Just let me have one drivetrain and one interior, please. Oh, just make it a rolling chassis w/ complete drivetrain. Well, now distraught and bewildered, I'm going out into the cold to change the points on my bug. DougJ (in shock) |
