What is the point of destroying these motors? This is plain insanity. Taking these old cars off the road because they are supposedly bad for the environment is just stupid especially if they are disposing of them in this way.

The amount of energy and resources that goes into building a new car and the pollution and environmental impact is way more than the impact of keeping an old car running.

All those dumb asses driving round in their prius's thinking they are doing their part for the environment are driving an ecological disaster.

I think there needs to be more focus on refurbishment than replacement. How about an industry based on putting modern clean green engines into old cars.

With the industrialists pushing political policy and their marketing and spin people feeding us a bunch of crap about new cars being good for the environment what hope do we have.
