Default How to kill those "Klunkers"

Unbelievable. Killing perfectly usable vehicles. What a
waste.

Sodium Silicate.

The government mandates that cars traded in under the "Cash
for Clunkers"
program be permanently disabled and specifies that the
method used is to
replace the oil with Sodium Silicate then run the engine
until it freezes.

This has caught the suppliers of the substance by surprise.
One company that
sold maybe 150 gallons of the stuff a year has already sold
15,000 gallons!
