    Late last night after reading about a dealer saying that they're not used to killing cars and skimming the disabling procedure, I decided to look for C4C engine killing videos on Youtube. Not surprisingly, there were quite a few.

    One of many places to find the official procedure is at VIDEO: How To Disable A Cash For Clunkers Car - cash for clunkers - Jalopnik along w/an engine death video.

    Post your "favorites" here.

    Here are a few "good" ones:
    - I guess Chrysler built some pretty robust engines.

    - looks like he was doing a burnout too

    Last night, not surprisingly saw some anti-Prius/anti-hybrid comments thrown into the video comments. But as we all know, unintelligent comments on Youtube are standard fare.

    I also wonder what auto execs, mechanics and automotive engineers (esp. powertrain engineers) think of sights like this...
