Interesting comment on the news this morning: sales of sodium silicate are
up.
Announcer said car dealers use the chemical to 'kill' engines so they can
never be repaired.
(Must be tied to the $4500 dollar rebates...)
So, do you pour it in the tank? Air cleaner?
Why does it work?


So, Obama along with congress screws the poor man again, the supply of
used cars and used parts dries up. The guy/teenager/minimum wage
earner now needs to by a pricey fairly new car, or a cheap import like
a Kia or Hyundai.

There's a local car dealer in Allentown that's running radio ads along
these lines.

(soon to be overheard at the local garage)
We could fix your car with an $800 junkyard engine if we could get
one, but I'm sorry they were all destroyed in the cash for clunkers
program, for $50 we can tow your car to the Kia dealer up the street.

From what I've heard they must also destroy the transmission too.
Maybe even the rear diff if a RWD car. No part of the drivetrain can
be resold.

Thank You,
Randy
