I could tell he didnt change out his gears because it was about as fast as a old tractor. as you can tell by the line of cars behind him.

those mexicans will pay top dollar for those junkers also, when i was in highschool i had a 91 ranger that had been wrecked on the left side and the axle was bent and i didnt have the bed on it, was driving to school and this mexican pulled me over and asked if i wanted to sell, i said how much and he said i will give you 2500 bucks for it, i told him to show me the cash and we will talk, he told me that he would meet me at the school in 10 mins with the cash, so i left and figured i would never see him, about 10 mins later he came pulling up and got out of his car sit a brief case down on the hood and it was full of hundred dollar bills, counted out 25 one hundred bills and i gave him the title.

Ill never forget when my GF's blazer had lost its wheel on the highway due to wheel stud failure, and we got it towed to my friends house and left it there less then 24 hours before we had all the parts needed, and he said he had a mexican knocking on his door asking if they wanted to sell the blazer. It friggin only had 3 wheels and they wanted it

Next time you're in town we need to go over to JMJ wrecking yard. It's some Mexicans that own it. We told him what we were looking for and we all piled into this beat up Kia that was missing all of the doors and drove to the back field where the Mustangs were. We were hauling butt through deep mud puddles and nearly ran over a few chickens in the process. I was laughing so hard.

They come up from Mexico in a van. Buy a bunch of vehicles at auctions and drive/tow them back to Mexico. The Cash for Clunkers may really hurt their program.
