Money can buy cars but it can't buy driver ability.

how come whenever cars are burned, they're lowered too. The springs can't just melt!

i think it is a combination of 2 factors.
the springs get that hot the weight of the car compresses them down and also the actual shocks boil and the gas is basically evaporated or has leaked out.

Love the frozen one right after the burnt ones.
Some intentional insurance fraud, write it off to get your money back.. haha

With so much road traffic in the States, the crash auctions would be so cool.
Add to that the amount of cars that are re-possessed cos they give poor people finance that can't repay their cars.
Friend got her Pontiac grand am re-poed (she still owed $9,000) it sold at auction for $2,500.
