Default Re: Just Makes Ya Wanna Cry

All of our cars were just another old car at some time. It was only when the vast majority were destroyed and few remained that their value started to rise again. If a car survives the dangerous period, it will likely find a good home and have a future.
Then there are countries where the government has decided cars over a certain age should be recycled for whatever reason. (I suspect that picture by the OP was taken in England during their "cleanout".) That only reduces the chances of any particular car surviving the massacre. I wonder if those greenies who advocate the removal of older cars from the road because they are dirty have done any analysis of how much pollution is created during the manufacture of a new car from mining the ore, oil and production through to drive it out of the showroom. I suspect the making of a new car creates more pollution than any extra the older car might make over what the new one does anyway.
