But you cant tell me that car in 1.5 minutes under load makes more pollution than the other 250,000 miles @ < 18mpg.
Lot of emotional comments, I'm not grieving over the oversized hardware, I kinda enjoyed the video just for it's destructive flair. Was all very contained though, there must have been some more interesting results in the processing of 700k cars.

Yeah. This was a program to help the "new car" part of the automobile industry that is under economic duress. If the majority of people were like us, the new car business would probably go extinct and we'd keep our classics running ad infinitum Cuba style. Personally, I don't mind this, but I'm guessing it would be bad for the "economy", such as it is.
