Re: Thousands of new Mazdas destroyed
I don't know, yes it's a huge waste, but atleast a majority of the materials will be recycled for yet more tin can cars from Mazda.
Years ago, when I worked at the local auto auction, a major Ford dealer here in Omaha was flooded out, and they sold Centurian Conversions stuff, like they took the full sized Bronco and made them 4 doors, in the days before the Expedition...there were escorts and then-new contours, with mudd up to the top of the dash...probably around 45+ F350 crew cab trucks alone, fully optioned 4x4's, all leather, lots of 460 trucks...I asked what the chances were of getting a 460 out of one of the trucks...and I about got my ass handed to me for asking the ford rep when he was at the auction with the insurance people, was told they were going to be crushed, then shredded due to liability issues, like the ones mentioned in the mazda story.
All together, there was close to 100 trucks, probably 25-30 cars.
