Default Cash for Clunkers Legend

I was ordered to excecute a 92 legend today, 62,000 miles. SWEET car! This was the first Honda product that came through with destruct orders. Engine locked up in 4 minutes. I felt like **** doing it. Cash for Clunkers sucks!

No pics. Even after I killed the car, she lifted her steering column out of the way so I could get out! It was a real bummer.

It is true that many "nice" cars are being destroyed, its takes 2 to tango dont forget about the person who sent it in to be put down. I have 2 "clunkers" in my household and in my case it was no win situation. The money saved by not having a car payment and cheaper insurance offsets the money saved in better fuel economy.
