Even though the drive train blew dick in them, for what you pay for them you cant beat a explorer if you need a good tow vehicle for a small - med boat, big popup, sleds, stuff like that where you dont need a full sized pickup to tow. We had a EB edition 98. We towed a big fucking fiberglass side popup, 18’ fishing boat, sleds… thing was a beast. Awesome in 4wd (before we blew the front diff). Kept that shit for like 100K +. No engine issues at all, no electrical shit… and towing got 16mpg unloaded got like 16mpg! lol not sure how that was but if you didnt drive it daily it was great. Wonder how many explorers were traded in for yet another 16mpg turd? ---

I just found out something interesting. EVERY single car that is traded in for the Clunkers program gets crushed. They use an engine killer solvent then crush the cars and reuse the scrap metal. It makes sense but thats a LOT of dead cars. ---

Yea its this liquid glass shit that they pour into the engine, turn it on and keep their foot all the way down on the gas and pretty much just wait until the engine smokes and dies… there was a video posted up here the other day about this… ---

SO FUCKING STUPID! the amount of energy to produce a new car, will not be gained back from the fraction of gas saved. Do people actually think cars just appear and they don’t require energy to produce?! ---

an article i read also says that the chemicals used to kill the engine costs more then what they’re really saving…so in the end how does this even work!!! I no longer see a point to them doing this, as for crushing the cars, they could part them out to junk yards and allow the parts to be available to consumers who still have these types of vehicles. now THATS a way to put more money back into the economy! ---

It’s not for the environment, it’s supposed to give a boost to the auto industry. And dealers are recommended to use the liquid whateverthestuffis, but technically they just have to disable them. Like pouring sand into the engine or running them with no coolant up to 350\*F, etc. ---

I want to be the guy who goes around and kills the cars before they are crushed. seems like asweet gig. Better idea yet, instead of crushing them send them to “Daves Farm” on youtube! LOL ---
